SHIPMENT
What is the shipping time?
Standard Shipment
Standard shipping generally takes 2 weeks to being delivered, according to recent customer feedback. If you want to have more accurate esitmated shipping date, please join our discord server and ask members for their experience.
NOTE: The Standard shipping time is the general estimated shipping time. Since the dynamic of the pandemic, we cannot offer a proper shipping time. With the feedback from customers, you could expect the parcel arrives ahead of the estiamted shipping time. Moreover, please feel free to join KPrepublic discord server to ask members for shipping time experience.
Expedited Shipment
By default, we use FedEx for most expedited orders.
Normally, the expedited shipping takes around 7 days. Please take notes that the shipping time is an estimated time not proper shipping time. For now, NONE of delivery companies offers their shipping time guarantee service.
📣If your order is over 100 USD, we highly recommend to purchase the expedited shipping. It is safer and guaranteed.
Still not received?
Since the COVID-19, the longest shipping time we encounter is over 140 days with free shipping. If you don't receive the parcel after 140 days, please feel free to contact us for a solution (refund or reshipment). NOTE - the 140-day starter is from the day you have the tracking info, NOT from the day when you place the order.
Here are some issue samples that may be helpful to understand your shipping info.
📢NOTE: As the shipping time is general estimated based on overall data, if you want to know more accurate estimated shipping time, please feel free join our Discord server and ask in specific area channel for members' shipping experience.
How do I purchase Expedited shipping (fast shipping)?
When you check out, you will have the option for standard shipping or expedited shipping.
Expedited shipping (fast shipping) starts from 32 USD, please try to contact us with your order number when you paid. Because we need to calculate if you need to pay extra shipping or not. Thank you for your understanding.
KPrepublic.com will ship its expedited shipping orders via FedEx by default (Extra shipping fee required if the shipping address is the remote area). If you want to use other couriers for the expedited shipping, please leave notes at checkout. Meanwhile, try to contact us to calculate the shipping fee.
An item that contains battery will ship with DHL by default when you purchase the expedited shipping. Like GK61XS , GK64XS, GK73s, etc.
Tracking
Why does My tracking number not work when I get it?
Because of the effect of COVID-19, our warehouse may pack slower than the usual.
The fulfillment process would be:
- you will get your tracking number around 3 business days. From the day when you get your tracking number on, you are able to track your order no less than 10 days in that there is a backlog of orders in the warehouse waiting for packing.
Sorry for such inconvenience. We are trying our best to pace up the packing process.
Thank you for your understanding.
Why do I get an out-of-stock notification when I get my tracking number?
Our process is
- to fulfil the order with tracking number, then to transfer the order to the warehouse for packing (that's why customers get out-of-stock notification after they receive tracking numbers). After that, the packed order goes to the delivery agency for final check. Then the tracking number is activated.
Therefore, we write a note on the tracking page that you could get the tracking info within 3 or 4 days after receiving the tracking number. Well, under the current situation, the time is going to be longer than the usual. It would be around 5 days that the tracking number will be activated.
Why do I get the tracking info that my parcel is returned?
If you get the info that your parcel is returned when you track your order, it is normal. It means the parcel is rejected by the security check when it arrives at the airport. No worries at all. It doesn't mean the parcel has issue, it is just bad luck that there are some unqualified parcels in the same container so that the parcel is rejected as well. Normally, China Post will attempt to reship. After several attempts failed, China Post will returned to us. When we receive the parcel, we will reship you as soon as possible.
📣 Please note that - the shipping time would be recounted if you have returned issue.
please check shipment samples getting to know how to interpret the tracking info.
