When can I expect my order to arrive?
- Most Canadian destination parcels are sent Expedited Parcel unless otherwise stated on the listing. Estimated time of arrival is approximately 1-7 business days. Most USA destination parcels are sent Small Packets Air/Expedited Parcel USA or Light Parcel depending on the item. Arrival time depends on volume and customs. We cannot be held responsible for delays at customs. Also, if an item is not claimed at destination or cannot be delivered and it is returned to sender (seller) the buyer is responsible for any charges incurred to return the item back to them.

Also, if the buyer decides not to have the item return, then a refund will be issued less the cost of the original shipping and handling charges and a 25% RESTOCKING FEE.

Are some items sent letter mail or Light Packet USA/INTERNATIONAL?
- All items are charged as parcel unless otherwise stated but there may be a time when some are sent letter mail. The difference in cost is non refundable. Some makeup is sent letter post or light packet to save on shipping costs to the buyer - makeup, eyeshadows, lipsticks etc are removed from their boxes -boxes flattened - in order to qualify for letter post rate or light packet rate but item is always sent in a bubble envelope to minimize breakage but unfortunately not guaranteed on letter post(if possible). These services, however, do not include insurance and may take longer than parcel post as well as the buyer assumes the risk of lost or broken item (makeup). If you would like your item to be insured, please advise prior to purchase so your invoice can be adjusted with the correct parcel post rate or choose the parcel rate offered at checkout(if offered or available). Otherwise, it will be sent letter or light packet. Also, some clothing may be advertised as FREE SHIPPING. The service with free shipping (unless otherwise stated) is letter post or light packet. Letter post or light packet is not an insurable service and therefore any lost or stolen item are the sole responsibility of the buyer. If you would like your parcel insured, please let us know and we will adjust your invoice accordingly.PLEASE UNDERSTAND THERE IS NO INSURANCE OR TRACKING NUMBER WITH REGULAR LETTER POST or LIGHT PACKET TO USA OR INTERNATIONAL- IF YOU WANT THIS SERVICE, PLEASE ASK PRIOR TO PURCHASING AND YOUR INVOICE WILL BE CHARGED ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO COVER THESE COSTS.
