Other notes: I will be more than happy to discuss anything regarding this item if you have any concerns. Thanks.

1. Please ask all questions BEFORE purchasing. Please review photos closely. From smoke free / Pet free home. I cannot guarantee the condition of sealed items as I am unable to open it for direct checking or else it looses it's value as a sealed item.

2. All sales are final and returns are not accepted (unless what you received is not what was listed). These items are from my personal collection which I'm selling due to lack of living space. The price is just enough to cover for eBay's selling fees, Paypal's commission, and sometimes your underpaid shipping fees ( I often pay the small differences out of my own pocket), and the costs of acquiring the items myself. Cancellation of order is acceptable only if it is before the item has been shipped and within the stipulated time given by eBay.

3. Buyer pays for customs/ import taxes / tariffs / duty fees of their own country. Please check with your country's customs office to find out what these extra costs are before buying. These charges are usually collected by the delivering freight or shipping company or when you pick the item up so please do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. Delays in delivery may be customs or postal service related which cannot be controlled.

4. I will ship within 3 working days upon receipt of full payment only via PAYPAL.  ONLY by SEAMAIL 
5. Write to me if you have any concerns and we'll try to work something out. After buying, please give me your positive feedback. Thank you!



As of Dec 21st 2020,  NO AIRMAIL TO THE UK due to new strain of CV-19

Resumption of e-Express service to United Kingdom

2021.01.11

Hongkong Post today (January 11) announced that air service to the United Kingdom (UK) is resuming to a limited extent, but as the air traffic capacity provided by airlines is still unable to cope with the posting volume of all airmail services, priority is given to the resumption of e-Express service to the UK from tomorrow (January 12), while other airmail services will continue to be suspended. The weight limit for e-Express service is two kilograms with basic mail tracking data provided. As local postal operations in the UK are still under the influence of the pandemic, delays in mail delivery are expected.
