  • Shipped as a regular parcel

  • Protective packaging included

This is the recommended shipping method for all customers.


b) Registered letter / flat envelope (economy option)

  • Shipped in a flat envelope (under 30 mm)

  • Chosen by customers who want to reduce shipping costs

    without the original protective box
