SHIPPING TIMES
All items are usually sent on the same or next working day after payment has been received. Please look at the date stamp on your packet before leaving low stars or possible negative feedback. I cannot be held responsible for any delays within the postal system once this item has left my hands. Thank you for understanding. R
C0R0NA VIRUS / C0VID-19
Due to the current world circumstances I am only shipping once or twice a week, meaning delays are possible. Furthermore the postal system is severely delayed to a number of countries due to this outbreak, so even if I ship immediately, the post could still be delayed here due to closed borders, or at the destination country. Thank you for your understanding in this matter
