Shipments, deliveries, carriers and returns
Shipment
Packages are generally dispatched within 1 working day after receipt of payment. They are shipped via the carrier of your choice, with a tracking number and delivered without a signature. Packages can also be delivered against signature : please contact us before choosing this delivery method, as it incurs additional costs.
Regardless of the delivery method chosen, a link will be made available to you to track your package online.
Shipping costs include preparation and packaging costs as well as postage. The preparation costs are fixed, while the transport costs vary according to the total weight of the package. We recommend that you consolidate all of your items into one order. We cannot combine two orders placed separately and shipping costs apply to each of them. Your package is shipped at your own risk, but special attention is paid to fragile items.
Box sizes are appropriate and your items are properly protected. Particular attention is paid to the packaging of fragile items, such as collectible figurines.
The different carriers
When you place an order on our store, several delivery methods are available to you to meet individual preferences and requirements.
A delivery method may not be available for an item : in fact, it depends on the country to which it is to be shipped. Some carriers do not offer delivery to certain destinations. It also depends on the weight and size of the package, as each carrier has its own requirements.
Feel free to contact us (by clicking here) if you want a delivery method that is not currently available, we will get you more information as soon as possible.
