Shipping and Delivery
Shipping times displayed on the Website refer to the estimated dispatch time of the packages. Since the actual delivery of your order can be impacted by many events beyond Vakole's control We suggest that if customers have a special occasion or event that they wish to use their item for, such as a birthday, that they order their items well in advance.

Kindly note that shipping guarantee does not cover any customs issues, including but not limited to, goods being destroyed or confiscated due to their illegal status in any given destination country.
Should the buyer refuse the package due to import duties or taxes, the buyer takes full liability for all the costs involved in the process.
