Shipping options Top ^
Courier Shipping is the fastest option and is done through trusted couriers such as Fedex, DHL, and UPS. Shipment tracking is a standard feature.
Standard Shipping takes longer but is a less expensive alternative. It is done through trusted global post offices and enables shipment tracking for packages sent to 15 tracking-ready countries.
If your country is not listed as one of the 15 tracking-ready countries and your package does not arrive within 20 working days, we will be happy to resend your order to you at our cost one more time. If your package still does not arrive, we can issue you a full refund for your order.
Both Shipping Options are covered by our returns & exchanges and other shipping-related policies. Please browse through other topics in VMV Customer Service for more information.

Store credit is not redeemable for cash, may not be exchanged, and is not refundable.
