Where do you ship from?

We ship directly from our store location. Occasionally we may dropship if the item is a special order, but otherwise everything comes from our physical inventory.


Do you ship to my country?

Yes, we ship internationally, though due to some of the contracts we have, we're unable to ship certain brands everywhere. We're also unable to provide free international shipping, so the exact cost of shipping can be found during checkout after you enter your shipping address. We must declare the actual value of the item when we ship.

It depends.

Are there any return fees?

We want to make sure you absolutely love what you got, so first time returns generally* do NOT have a restocking fee as long as it's still in like-new condition with all its original packaging and accessories. The only thing you'd be responsible for is the return label.

(*unless there is an extreme circumstance, the product page mentions a restocking fee, or a specific restocking fee already applies)
