delivery and shipping times can still be affected by all the chaos that's still going on in the world recently due to COVID-19 and more.  Packages might be transported by sea instead of by plane due to lack of flights. This involves longer times for them to arrive at destination. That's why delivery timings shown might be not respected. Infact, This affects also the faster shipping methods such as the Premium one, which can be very slower than normal.

At the moment very shipment is going fine. But things changes suddenly, so there's the chance that we might have to held your package until further notice, if shipping is not possible to your country.  In that case, we’ll keep you updated as much as we can.

Please stay safe and healthy~

Delivery timings shown might be not respected due to unexpected delays. Bad weather, high turnout, accidents, etc, can cause severe slowdowns. Dates are only estimates and are never 100% guaranteed. Also, for orders outside the EU, Customs inspections can hold packages even for entire months, before letting the package enter into the country!

We're sorry for that and we know how you are feeling!

Some packages can take long time to arrive, especially with the Standard Shipping method which has no monitoring services, so there's no way to know more. We only have estimates!

However, we experienced some few packages arriving safe and sound even more than two months later than the expected date. So we think that the package could still be simply in transit!  
The cut-off date shown is only an estimate, just to give a rough idea of the needed wait! It can always be variable.

Everything we ask you is to kindly wait a bit more! ʕ˵ ^ ω ^˵ʔ

There are two types of shipping methods: Standard and Premium.

• The Standard one has no monitoring services (therefore no tracking as well), as it's the cheapest.
• The Premium one is the only method which includes both the tracking number and the insurance service.

Shipping costs depend on the item you’ve ordered, on the Shipping method chosen and on the country where it’s being delivered. Since we do ship worldwide, the costs are calculated at checkout when you place the order.

>International Standard Shipping is Free for orders over €90! 

*Please note that Premium Shipping is never included as Free ❗

We ship Worldwide! Unless otherwise stated

Shipping can be expensive because of the long distance and trip they have to face, especially for overseas orders. Unfortunately, we're not able to change the costs that shipping companies charge to us. In particular with the Premium method, which can offer lots of extra services such as insurance, packages storage, more-than-one delivery attempts, and others.

If you placed your order choosing the Standard Shipping, refund, return or re-send is not possible in any way or circumstances. We know how frustrating it can be, but this is the cheapest slowest and most unsafe method of all. And we do not have control on it, especially since it doesn't include insurance so we don't have money back as well from the shipping company even if the package is lost or stolen. Moreover, it has no monitoring service, so no one can know where the package is while it's on its way.

If you chose Premium Shipping while ordering, instead, we can provide a full refund or re-send another identical package to you at no extra costs. As long as not delivered. Infact, unfortunately, insurance don't cover lost or stolen packages after they have been (or they result as) delivered.

Yes, if you're outside of EU you may have to face Customs Duties costs, according to your country regulations. This because you're importing products that may have decreed by law that are subject to taxes/duties for your country. These are not exclusive to Quirkory. Only buyers are responsible for any Customs and import taxes that may apply.

Of course this doesn't apply if you're from the European Union (UK excluded since it's not an EU member anymore).

No, we can't report different informations and lower the values, because it would mean breaking the law. Only buyers are responsible for all Customs fees that might be added onto their orders.

Yes, you can as long as we still didn't start processing it or if it hasn't been dispatched yet. This also applies to pre-order items.

Generally, we don't accept returns, exchanges or cancellations.  

But if you're from EU you can absolutely return your item to us, within 14 days after receiving it, as long as it’s undamaged, unused and contained in its original packaging with all tags and labels attached. Shipping costs are your responsibility for returning an item. Unfortunately, we don’t offer exchanges also to EU customers.

Please contact our customer service team via help@quirkory.com. Providing the return is within the 14-day cancellation period and meets our return criteria, we will issue you with a return note by email. You need to print this off and attach it to the packaging of the product when returning it to us. You will need to arrange and pay for suitable packaging and shipping method when returning an item.

We send return notes by email, so if you can locate the email we sent you, simply print off a new one. If you can’t find this email, please get in touch and ask for it to be sent to you again at help@quirkory.com

In the rare event that your order arrives damaged or faulty, please take photos of the product in question and email our customer service team via help@quirkory.com with the details. We’ll respond as soon as possible. If you just don’t like the product for any reason, we're sorry to tell you that we do not accept returns or exchanges. Otherwise, if you're from EU we’ll gladly accept it back as a return, providing it’s in “as new” condition, in its original packaging with all labels attached.

This depends on the carrier or shipping method that you choose when returning your item. Once we receive your return, we’ll notify you by email or message. We aim to process refunds within few days after receiving the item into our studio, but it can take several days for your bank or credit card provider to process the refund into your account, or onto your card.

We do have some pins with grading scales, but we generally don't sort them in specific categories. Pins are handmade items, so they may always present minor flaws and they can't be perfect! According to our personal opinion, minor imperfections/flaws don't affect on the beauty of the item (even if it's for collecting purpose), but they make it unique instead!
However, (when grading scales are not shown for that specific item) we always try to send the best quality products possible.

Please refer to the pin grading guidelines page for more insights.
