In some rare cases, you might receive it within a week or so, but please be prepared to wait, on average, for 4 weeks, and possibly even 8 weeks. I apologise in advance should the latter occur.

Before you open a case for non-delivery please contact me first so that I may make enquiries as to the whereabouts of your item. 5. Please be aware that eBay's expected delivery time, in the majority of cases, will not pertain to your item, which is sent from here. 6. Lastly, if your item is taking longer to arrive than you expect it to, please be patient. I will understand your frustration, but rather direct it at the authorities (customs or post office) who are responsible for the delay. Again, I have no control over what happens beyond the point of my shipping your item, but I will help in any way I can (but please understand the limitations of that help). Thank you.
