I almost always ship via USPS or Pirate Ship's International shipping service. Once the package is in the hands of the shipping service, I cannot be responsible for its handling. Shipments are insured by USPS or Pirate Ship, and if there is damage done to the parcel we can work together to make it right.
Some products are not replaceable, but hopefully the shippers will be able to make you/us financially whole in the event of destruction.
I'll ship as soon as I can. Usually this will be within a day or three. Preordered items will take longer than that. Shipping might also be delayed if a drop or product introduction or life event makes swift shipping impossible.
I'll do my level best, but please remember I'm just one guy (whose wife, cats, and dog may help out when I'm swamped).
