Shipping Policy

At Tygihobbycenter, we take pride in carefully packaging and shipping each collectible—be it a rare stamp or historic currency note—with the utmost care and precision. Our Shipping Policy outlines how we handle orders, processing times, delivery methods, and other important information regarding the shipment of your valuable collectibles.

Please review this policy thoroughly before placing your order.

1. Order Processing Time

  • All orders are typically processed within 1 to 3 business days (Monday–Friday, excluding holidays).

  • Orders placed on weekends or holidays will be processed the following business day.

  • Processing time may vary during sales, new collection releases, or high-volume periods, but we always strive to keep delays to a minimum.

  • In cases where authentication or additional verification is required, we will contact you directly before dispatch.

2. Packaging and Handling

Due to the delicate nature of vintage currency and stamps, every item is individually packed using secure, tamper-proof materials to ensure its safety during transit.

  • Currency notes are packed using protective sleeves or holders.

  • Stamps are packaged with moisture-resistant material and rigid support to avoid bending.

  • All packages include a detailed invoice and, when applicable, certificates of authenticity.

We take extra care to preserve the condition of every collectible, ensuring it arrives to you in the same state as advertised.

3. Shipping Methods & Timeframes

We partner with reliable courier and postal services to deliver items locally and internationally. The available shipping options may include:

Domestic Shipping (within [Your Country]):

  • Standard Shipping: 4–7 business days

  • Express Shipping: 2–4 business days

International Shipping:

  • Standard International Airmail: 10–20 business days

  • Tracked International Courier (FedEx/DHL/UPS): 5–10 business days

Note: Actual delivery times may vary depending on destination, customs processing, and local courier efficiency.

4. Shipping Charges

Shipping costs are calculated based on the weight, size, value, and destination of the order. The applicable shipping fees will be clearly displayed at checkout.

  • Free shipping may be offered on orders over a certain value (e.g., Free shipping on orders above $100).

  • Any customs duties, taxes, or import charges are the responsibility of the recipient.

5. Order Tracking

Once your order is shipped, you will receive a shipment confirmation email containing the tracking number and a link to monitor the delivery status.

6. Lost, Delayed, or Damaged Shipments

We understand how important your collectibles are, and we do our best to ensure safe and timely delivery. However, if something goes wrong, here’s what to do:

Lost or Delayed Orders:

  • Please provide a valid physical address for express or tracked courier services.

8. Customs & Import Duties (International Orders)

For international buyers:

  • Your order may be subject to customs fees, import duties, or taxes imposed by your country.

  • These charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost and are the buyer’s responsibility.

  • Customs procedures may also cause delivery delays beyond our control.

We recommend checking with your local customs office before placing an order to avoid unexpected charges.
