How shipments are made
Most of the shipments are carried out automatically from our fulfillment service located in the UK. The fulfillment service uses the shipping method selectable by customer in the web store checkout page.
Shipped parcels are carried out by shipping services, such as national post services or courier companies.
Tracking
The web store offers only trackable shipping methods. Tracking service is produced by shipping service companies. It should be noted that tracking accuracy and level of detail may vary depending on shipping method.
Tracking sometimes may lack events especially when:
- Customs service is holding the parcel - in such case customs service should contact recipient for further actions
- Parcel has left the shipping country and in the transit and/or destination country parcel is being operated by another courier - sometimes tracking ceases to update after parcel transfer os operated by some other company than the original shipping courier. This may happen even when package is being transferred normally.

Typical reasons for a delay are listed below.
Import customs
Especially customers outside EU may experience this recipient is required to clear or import the parcel from destination country's customs service.
