FAQs
After your order is placed and processed, it begins international transit to the U.S. Once it arrives at the U.S. port, it will go through customs clearance. After clearance is completed, the package is handed over to FedEx or UPS for final delivery to your address.
Shipping journey:
Order Placed → In Transit → U.S. Port Arrival → Customs Clearance → FedEx / UPS Pickup → Delivered
Shipping times may vary depending on the product, destination, and customs processing. In most cases, standard delivery takes about 3–4 weeks.
Please note that international transit and customs clearance may affect the final delivery timeline.
This is normal for many international shipments. Tracking may not show updates during the overseas transit stage. In most cases, tracking becomes active only after the package clears customs and is picked up by FedEx or UPS in the U.S.
In most cases, the tracking number entered in our system is a full-route tracking number, not a FedEx or UPS tracking number. Because of this, it may not be searchable on the FedEx or UPS website.
You can use this tracking number on our Track My Order page to view the detailed shipping status of your package throughout the journey.
This does not mean there is a problem with your shipment. Once the package is handed over to FedEx or UPS for final delivery, their tracking updates may then become available.
Once your shipment arrives at the U.S. port, it enters the customs clearance process. After customs clearance is completed, the package is released and transferred to the local carrier for final delivery.
Customs clearance usually takes about 3–5 business days, although timing may vary depending on port conditions, customs workload, holidays, or other factors beyond our control.
After customs clearance, most orders are delivered by FedEx or UPS for the final domestic delivery stage.
Delivery updates usually begin once the package has been picked up by the local carrier and scanned into their system. At that point, you should be able to see movement such as pickup, transit, and estimated delivery updates.
Not necessarily. International shipments may experience temporary delays due to customs processing, port congestion, weather, carrier scheduling, or holidays. In many cases, the order is still moving normally even if tracking has not updated yet.
