Customs Duty is not due for goods, provided directly to the buyer when their value does not exceed 150 euros.

For import VAT, the applicable rate is that of the country where the goods are being delivered. Generally speaking VAT is not due when the total value of all goods in a consignment (value not inclusive of custom duties or transport costs) is less than the destination country threshold. The threshold may vary from 10 euros to 22 euros, depending on the EU country.

If customs charges occur please note that you, the buyer, are 100% responsible for the fees. We, the seller, cannot be responsible for customs charges nor can we provide a refund or exchange if you decide to forgo said charges. However, the customs charges doesn't happen very often in our experience. 

Your shipping rates seem high, why is that? 

Our products are handmade and can be somewhat fragile. We do our best to safely package our products to ensure safe arrival. Also, we ship out from Thailand. Hence, shipping may be slightly higher than one might expect.

However, we are working towards reducing the fee & making our standard shipping faster too! We are still very small so please bare with us! 

How can I track my order?

I'm having problem with tracking
