★ 27/11/12 Important: Christmas Ordering

MinkyShop has entered its busiest time of the year. Queues for our items are at an all time high in the run up to Christmas, and this can mean delays in the processing of orders beyond the normal times stated on the listings, and even items selling out before we have a chance to update the listing information. Please be aware of these factors before placing an order.

If you have not placed your order by the 1st of December and used EMS shipping, we cannot guarantee delivery in time for Christmas depending on the type of item and processing time (made to order footwear takes an especially long time.)

We highly recommend EMS shipping if you're attempting to receive something in time for Christmas, but please be aware than anything purchased after 1st of December is not guaranteed.

Thank you for your attention!

★ 2/12/11 Ordering in time for Christmas

It has occurred to me that some people don't know how to get a shipping quote. You don't need to almost check out to find out, it's very easy to do! :)
All you need to do is place one or more items in your shopping cart. Then click the 'My Cart' button at the top right of the page. This will take you to a page where you can view the contents of your cart. Towards the lower half of the page is a section called "Estimate Shipping and Tax." All you need to do is select your country from the dropdown box underneath (you don't need to add a postcode) and then press the "Get a quote" button.
And that's it, you can now see how much shipping is for both EMS and Airmail (when available.)

If you are planning to order in time for Christmas, please be aware of all the ordering times stated on the listings and the shipping times shown at checkout. I can't offer xmas delivery guarantees, especially on 'made to order' items ordered after the 5th of December. 
it's an extremely busy time of year with enormous queues for footwear and clothing, meaning you should expect made to order items to take the full two weeks before shipping.
If something is not a made to order item, there is a better chance of receiving it for Christmas if ordered in a timely fashion. Remember, EMS shipping is the recommended shipping option if you want to receive something quickly.
Thank you and Merry Christmas! ^^

★ 12/3/11 Japan is in our prayers

As you all know Japan has suffered a big disaster. :(

Thanks to God for keeping all the people I know and love safe this time, my prayers go out to the families of the still missing... 

If anyone is wondering if this may affect any orders they have placed with the shop, don't feel guilty to ask! It's a fair question to wonder as the country is facing major disturbances to all its services. The answer is no, in 99% of cases no orders will be disturbed and everything should run fine. Anything shipping out of Japan is ok, there are no reports affecting any post service unless it was sent by boat (which MinkyShop does not offer.)

I was a bit troubled yesterday so apologies for my slow email answering. 

Thanks for reading today, god bless you!

★ 10/3/11 EMS Shipping Rate Info

Just to let you all know that EMS shipping rates have been fluctuating recently and are running a little high at the moment. Unlike on ebay where it's impossible to calculate mail by weight, on MinkyShop.com all items are automatically priced against the exact rates of the postal services. I'm still offering EMS for those looking for a safer and faster shipping method than regular Airmail, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Keep in mind if your order is above a certain total weight, EMS will be the only service available.

Many thanks! (^-^)

★ 1/3/11 Information about stock levels

MinkyShop acts as an agent between international sources and the buyer, and some of the goods available in store are very limited due to high demand. 

Because of this, MinkyShop can not guarantee stock availability or quantities, and in some cases refunds will have to be provided if a purchased product suddenly becomes impossible to source. I apologise for any disappointment caused in this eventuality, but please don't consider an item labelled "in stock" a guarantee as it could disappear without me being notified. 

Thankyou! X
