Shipping costs

📅 Processing Times

We do our best to process orders within 10 working days and in any case no later than 30 days from the order date. Orders received by Saturday are normally shipped on Monday or Tuesday, to minimize transit time and weather-related risks over the weekend.

During periods of extreme heat or cold, we reserve the right to suspend shipments. In such cases, the date will be agreed upon with the customer, or the shipment will be at the customer's risk.

The choice of shipping method is up to the customer, by selecting the available options during checkout.
