  1. DELIVERY

6.1 We are able to deliver your Goods to any address within Hong Kong and Macau.

6.5 Where possible, we try to ship all ordered Goods at the same time. However, please note that we reserve the right to make split deliveries so that you receive the ordered Goods as soon as possible. There are no additional delivery costs associated with such split deliveries. If we are late delivering a part of a split Order or one part of a split Order is faulty, that will not entitle you to cancel any other part of the split Order.
