Shipping

USA orders

All orders are generally shipped the same day.  You will receive an email confirmation and tracking number. You will also receive a delivery notice upon the item delivered. It is your choice First class or Priority.

First class: is not insured for loss, If you would like to have it insured please ask before as it is additional cost. We do not replace if damaged or lost with out insurance, or option 2,  send it priority for a few bucks more.

Priority: covers 100.00 in insurance and has good tracking. If you would like additional insurance please let us know before as it is additional cost to you. If it is lost you can file a claim yourself to recover the insured amount.

ITEM DELIVERED however you did not get item. I know this is terrible situation for all, we want you to have good experience from Aku Strike. That said, If tracking shows item delivered and you did not get it, we suggest to contact your mail carrier directly as maybe simply in wrong box or someone stole it. Normally mail carrier delivers every day and should know your address. Unfortunately we have no control over it once USPS gets it. You can put a claim in to them directly and try to prove you did not receive it. We have same information as you do in regards to tracking. Unfortunately in this situation we can not replace items for free.

Process Fee: In certain situations orders may be cancelled either by us or customer for any reason, in some of these instances there may be a process fee of 3%.

International USPS,

USPS  international orders may not receive accurate tracking in all countries at all times. Package is delivered by your normal mail carrier. If you want someone to sign for the package to confirm delivery please send us a note in the comments section upon ordering. However if you are not there to sign, it will not be left.

If lost or not delivered we can not be held liable as we put it in the mail, you will not be reimbursed so please be sure you choose best method for you. We want you to have good experience however sometimes with switching International mail carriers it gets lost. we do not recommend USPS for this.

UPS may cost more but very reliable in international shipments.

From UPS…

If duties or taxes are assessed, most countries will collect from the recipient a customs clearance and delivery fee, in addition to the duties and taxes. This fee is authorized by international postal agreements to reimburse the delivery service for the costs it incurs in clearing the items through customs and collecting duties at the time of delivery. The duties, taxes, and fee, if applicable, are not included in the postage paid by the mailer.
