Shipping at MyCraftWork.com depends on whether the item ordered is already in stock in the US, or being shipped from overseas. If the item is shipped from the US, we will provide you with the shipping information (price, time) promptly... however, if the item is to be shipped from overseas, we will first check our overseas stock to see if we have it in store, if we don't we will advise our artisans to work on it and we will update you with a completion date and a shipping date as soon as possible. Usually an item shipped from overseas will take two to four extra shipping weeks compared to an item being shipped from the US. The lag is obviously justified by all the international shipping formalities including (Proper handling of international goods, US Customs' clearance and finally our mandatory transit by our US location to make sure the goods are in mint condition).
