Packaging & Shipment

All orders will be packed and shipped by my local partner in Lhasa, People's Republic of China, through China Post. All orders will be shipped within one week after receipt of Your payment. The delivery duration varies according to Your chosen shipping method:

• China Post, Surface (Sea) Mail: 3-6 month; takes mostly 3 month.
  
• China Post, SAL: 1-3 month; takes mostly 1 month.
  
• China Post, Air Mail: ca. 10-20 days.
• China Post, EMS: ca. 1 week.

The actual packing and shipping costs depend on the weight and destination of each order and will be calculated accordingly. All orders will be send as "Printed Matter" along with the order's invoice and "Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU)".

Please note that I cannot take responsibility for an uninsured parcel which got lost in the process of shipping. In this case the customer has to pay for the shipping fee as well as the entrepreneur's purchase price of the books ordered by the customer. In this case, the entrepreneur will be happy to support the customer in search of the lost parcel by providing the tracking number of China Post.

In case a parcel is returned due to the fact that the customer provided a wrong address, the customer has to cover the shipping as well as returning fee of the parcel.     

A note on shipping costs:

To let you get an impression of the cost for the different shipping methods, I listed below as an example the prices for the third edition of the bKa' gdams gsung 'bum. The given prices are either based on experience or roughly guessed. Therefore,  they can vary to a certain extant. We will be happy to inquire the exact shipping rates for each individual order at China Post.
