■ Orders & Payment

Q: What payment methods do you accept?

A: We offer a variety of secure payment options to make your checkout easy:

  • Credit/Debit Cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and UnionPay.
  • Digital Wallets: PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
  • Buy Now, Pay Later: Klarna and Afterpay.

Q: Is my payment information secure?

A: Yes, absolutely. Our store is built on the Shopify platform, which uses advanced SSL encryption to protect your personal information. All transactions are processed through highly secure, globally recognized payment gateways. We do not store your credit card details directly on our servers.

Q: Will I receive an invoice for my order?

A: We do not issue separate commercial invoices. The order confirmation email you receive immediately after placing your order serves as your official receipt and proof of purchase. It contains all the necessary details of your transaction.

■ Pre-Orders

Q: What is a pre-order item?

A: A pre-order item is a product that you can reserve before its official release date or before it arrives at our warehouse.

Q: How does payment work for pre-orders?

A: For eligible pre-order items, you pay a 10% deposit at checkout to reserve the item. When it is ready to ship, we request the remaining balance and dispatch after payment. The deposit is part of the product payment, not a 10% discount. Any member or promotional discount is separate and shown where applicable at checkout.

Q: What are the benefits of pre-ordering?

A: Pre-ordering lets you reserve an upcoming item before release or warehouse arrival. Release dates are estimates and may change. Discounts or bonus items apply only when they are shown for the specific offer.

■ Shipping & Delivery

Q: How much does shipping cost?

A: Shipping rates vary based on your destination country/region, package weight and chosen shipping method. The exact shipping cost for your order will be calculated and displayed on the checkout page before you complete payment.

Q: Do you offer free shipping?

A: Yes. Free standard shipping is available on eligible orders over US$30.00 (or the equivalent in your local currency), based on your order subtotal excluding shipping, taxes and duties. A limited number of items, which we ship from our regional US, UK and German warehouses, carry a higher threshold of US$35.00.

Q: Are there any destinations where free shipping is not available?

A: Free shipping may not be available to some destinations, depending on the warehouse your order is fulfilled from — we hold stock in several regions, so the applicable threshold can differ from one order to another. This applies to:

  • Canada · Mexico · Spain · Italy · Netherlands · Sweden
  • Greece · Ireland · Iceland · Norway · Poland · Switzerland

Orders to these destinations are shipped at the standard weight-based rate, typically starting at US$10.00. Free shipping is applied automatically at checkout — if it applies to your order, no shipping charge is added.

Q: How long will it take to receive my order?

A: The total delivery time is split into two parts:

  • Processing Time: 1–2 business days.
  • Estimated Shipping Time: 3–10 business days (varies by destination).

Important Notes:

The timeframes above apply to in-stock items. For "Pre-order" items, orders will be fulfilled and shipped as soon as the stock arrives at our warehouse following the manufacturer's official release.

Shipping times are estimated averages and may vary depending on customs clearance, destination regions, and local logistics conditions.

Q: Which shipping carriers do you use?

A: We partner with a selection of premium international shipping carriers to ensure that your items are delivered quickly and safely. The specific carrier used for your shipment will depend on your location and the nature of the items being shipped. Please note that we cannot accommodate requests for specific shipping carriers.

Q: Can I specify a delivery date or time?

A: We do not offer specific delivery date or time selection at checkout. Once your order is shipped, you will receive a tracking number, and you can manage your delivery preferences directly with the local carrier.

■ Cancellations, Returns & Exchanges

Q: Can I cancel my order?

A: For in-stock items, cancellations are accepted within 24 hours of placing your order. If you need to cancel, please contact us immediately.
Please note that Pre-orders are generally final and cannot be canceled once placed. Additionally, we cannot cancel any order that has already been processed or shipped, even if it is within the 24-hour window.

Q: What should I do if my item arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect?

A: If your item arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, please contact us within 14 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos/videos of the issue and packaging. Once verified, our team will assist you with an appropriate solution, such as a replacement, replacement parts, or a refund. If a return is required, we will cover the return shipping costs.

Q: What if my figure/model is missing parts?

A: Please contact us within 14 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos of the instruction manual (if available), clearly circling both the missing part illustrations and their part numbers.

To process the claim with the manufacturer, we may also ask you to provide additional photos of the items you received (such as an overview of all included runners/sprues for model kits). Once verified, we will request the replacement pieces from the manufacturer and ship them to you once available.

(Please note: Sourcing factory parts depends on manufacturer availability and may take several weeks. We will keep you updated and greatly appreciate your patience.)

Q: Can I return an item if I change my mind?

A: Yes, we accept returns for personal reasons provided the item is unopened, unused, and in its original packaging. You must contact us within 14 days of delivery. Please note that return shipping costs for this type of return are the responsibility of the customer.

■ Packaging & Others

Q: How will my items be packaged?

A: We know how important box condition is to collectors. To ensure your item arrives safely, we wrap the manufacturer's original box in premium bubble wrap and ship it inside a sturdy heavy-duty cardboard box to minimize the risk of transit damage.

Q: Do you offer gift wrapping services?

A: We currently do not offer gift wrapping or custom message card services.
