What If the Package is Damaged or Lost?

We take care to use strong, secure packaging to protect your goods during transit. However, if your package is damaged or lost:

  • Don’t worry — all shipments are insured (air and sea).

  • In the unlikely event of a loss or damage, the insurance will compensate based on the declared value on the shipping invoice.
