Pre-order

Please confirm before ordering

If a product is marked as pre-order, the delivery time may be uncertain.

We recommend contacting us before placing your order so that we can confirm the latest estimated delivery schedule for you.

2. Order Shipping Arrangements

Your order may be shipped from different warehouses depending on product availability. This helps us deliver available items as early as possible.

If your order includes both local warehouse items and China warehouse items

  • Items available in our overseas local warehouse will be shipped first from the local warehouse.
  • Items available in our China warehouse will be shipped directly from China, with customs clearance handled by OpenELAB.
  • Your order may therefore arrive in separate packages.
In some cases, local warehouse inventory may occasionally be inaccurate. If an item cannot be shipped immediately from the local warehouse after your order is placed, we may arrange shipment from China instead. We will contact you before making this change. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and are continuously improving our warehouse and inventory management process.
