Your order will be cancelled after a certain period (around a week) if we do not receive any reply.

We cannot accept orders from customers with outstanding problems on previous orders (ex., disputes). You can order again once the problem has been resolved.

In such cases, customers will be notified. We sincerely apologize and ask for a kind understanding of the matter.

In order to protect our customers and make sure that all customers have a fair chance to purchase the items they want; a Purchase Limit is placed on some high-demand items.

Customers repeatedly exceeding the Purchase Limit may have their account closed and their open orders cancelled. Please be advised that shipped items are also counted within the Purchase Limit unless noted on the product page.
