DELIVERY

　

Question:  After I place an order, how long will it take for me to receive it?
Answer:  Our aim is to deliver your order to you ASAP. It mainly depends on stock status. Since our stock runs very fast, sometimes items will be sent from our HK International Distribution Center.
If we have the item in local stock, it will be dispatched within 1 working days. More information about your delivery times is indicated to you at the checkout confirmation stage of a transaction, as well.
If we don't have local stock for the item, it will be dispatched from our HK International Distribution Center. It may take 5-10 days to arrive.
The stock status will be shown in the item description field.

Answer:  No, unfortunately express delivery will not speed up delivery time for /2 orders.

Answer:  In most cases, yes. However, for security reasons we are only able to make delivery of certain orders to the home address of the person placing the order, the credit/debit card holder.

Question:  What is the WEEE Directive?

Answer: The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive ("the WEEE Directive") is a directive from Europe. As a member of the European Union, the United Kingdom implemented the WEEE directive as UK law on the 2nd January 2007.
　

The purpose of the WEEE Directive is to reduce the amount of waste electrical and electronic equipment (known as "WEEE") being disposed of to landfill by promoting the separate collection, treatment and recycling of WEEE for environmentally sound disposal, so as to minimise the potential effects on the environment and human health that may arise from the presence of hazardous substances commonly found in electrical and electronic equipment ("EEE").
