Shipping
We ship all orders within 48 hours after the order is placed, during business
days (Monday to Friday, excluding official holidays) upon availability of the product. Since we don't carry stock
we must double-check the availability of the art piece to confirm that the
artisan hasn't sold it previously on his (her) own.
All our shipping costs include handling fees. Currently, we offer two types of shipping:
- Certified Air Mail
- EMS Panama
Certified Air Mail
Certified Air Mail is our lower cost mail option. Typically, your package will arrive to its destination in 2 to 3 weeks. But be aware that it might take up to a month. It is a cost-effective way to get your goods. We can only mail packages up to 2 kilograms (4.4lbs).
EMS Panama
EMS Panamá is a courier, similar to FedEx, UPS, etc., but Government-sponsored. Thus, it is cheaper to use than the private ones.
This is the exact same service that USPS uses for international shipping. Using this service your package arrives in about 5-8 days in average.
If you need you package now, this is the way to go. For comparison purposes, 1kg (about 2.2lbs, and the minimum charge) costs about US$15.00 to the main USA.
Note: We do not represent EMS Panama, but only use their services. If you wish to contact EMS Panama, please try calling them at 507-512-6223 or faxing at 507-512-6224.
