What is a PRE-ORDER?

A PRE-ORDER means that the item is yet to be released or made available by the manufacturer. A release date is available in the product page for your reference.

Take note that the release dates are not susceptible to changes. Feel free to contact us in case you want an update on your order.

How do I place a PRE-ORDER?
  1. You place a PRE-ORDER the same way you make orders on available items. We highly recommend that you create an account though for us to effectively keep track of your orders.
  2. You are required to make a downpayment on the item before we have them secured. The downpayment will be credited to the total item value.

    Take note that FULL payment must be made before the release month and claimed within the span of a month after being notified.

Again, feel free to contact us in case you want an update on your order

How can I be sure that I will receive my PRE-ORDER?

As long as you have informed us of your intent to PRE-ORDER and have deposited the necessary downpayment, you are already ensured to receive the item. The only reason you might not get a PRE-ORDER are the following:

  • The suppliers are unable to secure us the items themselves.
  • The manufacturer has decided to delay or cancel the release themselves for the item.

In any case, you will be duly informed of any possible delay or cancellation to your pre–orders and your downpayment shall be fully returned to you should it happen that we are not able to fulfill our obligations to you anymore.

Can I cancel my PRE-ORDER after paying the downpayment?

Unfortunately, we cannot do that at the moment. Most pre-orders we offer are on a special basis and we may not be stocking the items ourselves. Once we have placed our orders to our suppliers, we cannot cancel them in the interest of following their company policies as well as in securing a favorable business relationship with them. Please ensure that you are willing to wait for your pre-orders before paying the pre-order downpayment.

How do I place a request?

You may contact us if the item you are looking for is either sold out or unavailable in our website. Placing requests is where a more personalized service comes in.

  • If the item is unreleased, you will be given a quote for your confirmation. Upon confirmation, the corresponding PRE-ORDER deposit must be received before item will be secured.
  • If the item is released, you will be given a quote for your confirmation. Upon confirmation, the FULL payment must be received before item will be secured.
How do I pay for my orders?
