Greater ChinaExpress courier2–4 business days
Asia-PacificInternational courier4–8 business days

2. Handling time

In-stock items are prepared within 2–4 business days. Numbered limited editions and made-to-order art panels may take longer because each piece is numbered and its certificate of research is prepared individually; we will confirm the timeline when you order.

3. Customs, duties and import taxes

Any customs duty, import tax or clearance fee charged by the destination country is the recipient's responsibility. We declare shipments accurately and cannot mark an order as a gift or understate its value. If a parcel is held or returned because duties were not paid, the return shipping cost is deducted from any refund.

4. Packaging of fragile items

Night-luminous cups and art panels are packed in purpose-made cushioning inside a wooden box, and shipped with transport insurance. If a piece arrives damaged, keep all packaging and contact us within 7 days — see Returns & Refunds.

5. Tracking

We email a tracking number once the parcel leaves us. Tracking may take up to 24 hours to become active.

6. Lost, delayed or misdelivered parcels

  • Delayed: international transit occasionally exceeds the estimates above, particularly around customs inspection.
  • Lost: if tracking shows no movement for 21 days, contact us and we will open a claim with the carrier.
  • Wrong address: please check your address carefully. Re-shipping after a failed delivery may incur a second shipping charge.
