How Will My Order Be Shipped?

Delivery options - For The Fajo Collection, we have chosen two shipping services - DHL Express and RPS Standard Service. Both are available to our US customers. DHL Express is the only available option for international customers (including Canada) - they both offer trackable delivery and a fair price for the service they offer. In the best interests of our customers, we do not offer additional shipping methods. For APO/FPO delivery, see below. Note: Neither RPS nor DHL Express can deliver to a Post Office Box. Please give a complete home or business address and a telephone number.

APO or FPO delivery - US military customers may choose to have products shipped to their permanent address or to US military APO or FPO addresses. However, RPS and DHL will not deliver to APO/FPO addresses. In this exceptional circumstance, The Eccentric Order will use US Post Express delivery, which is trackable only as far as the military base, but not to the individual. If you choose this option, The Eccentric Order cannot be liable for packages that do not reach their APO/FPO destination.

Sales tax, import taxes and duties - The Eccentric Order does not charge and is not responsible for local taxes, duties or customs fees assessed to customers outside the US, with the sole exception of 4.5% state sales tax added to products shipped to Virginia residents.

Customs policies and charges vary widely and are subject to unannounced change. Please, if you are not familiar with after-purchase charges that may be levied by your local government, contact your local customs office for information. Every customer outside of the US will receive a separate invoice from DHL (who cover these charges up front and then charge after the product has been delivered). This charge will consist of import duties, local GST (general sales tax) or VAT (value added tax) and any local administration fees. In Europe you can expect this amount to be somewhere around 25% of the total cost of your order (including shipping charges).

In certain countries there are particular thresholds that will have an effect on how much you are charged. For example, in Australia, when ordering multiple copies of our products it is important to note that a sales tax will be added to amounts OVER approximately $123.00. This means that it may be more economical for you to choose to order multiple copies as single separate orders, rather than as one shipment. Consider shipping costs when you calculate your options.

Again, it is customary for DHL Express to pay after-purchase charges directly to your local government to expedite delivery to you. After delivery, international customers are then invoiced for these fees by the shipper. Again, The Eccentric Order does not charge and is not responsible for these fees. They are the responsibility of the customer.

Tracking delivery - We have chosen delivery services that allow a shipment's progress to be tracked from our warehouse to your address. Our delivery services require that you or your agent sign for receipt of the product. This is the final link in the "chain of accountability."

Tracking systems are meant to be used to investigate the whereabouts of an overdue package. These systems are not meant as a tool to observe or hurry along a delivery that is otherwise on time. Please allow plenty of time for delivery. Shipment via RPS Standard Service to US addresses takes 5-10 days once it has left the warehouse. DHL Express delivery worldwide is guaranteed 5-7 days after leaving the warehouse. Note, these delivery times are in addition to the time it takes to process your order, which is normally one week.

How Much Will My Order Cost?

The Fajo Collection - Each copy of The Fajo Collection costs $80 (US dollars). Please do not deduct rebate offers from the cost of The Fajo Collection sets when making out your payment. A rebate is an after-purchase refund. Each Star Trek Customizable Card Game Uncut Sheets set costs $100 each. For our product costs in UK £ and Australian dollars, please see the tables below.

Uncut Sheet Sets - Each set costs $100 (US dollars). The base price per set in Australian dollars is $150. The price in UK sterling is £60.

Discounted ($50 Off coupon) Cost - One coupon may be applied to the cost of one set. This is expressed as $50 off the cost of a set priced $100 US dollars, for a total cost of $50. If purchasing with a money order drawn on Australian dollars, the set priced at $150 Australian dollars, when discounted by a valid coupon, is $75 Australian dollars. If purchased with a Eurocheck drawn on UK sterling, the set priced at £ 60, when discounted by a valid coupon, is £ 30.

Note, the coupon is applicable only to the purchase price of an Uncut Sheets set: additional charges or fees (ie, shipping) are not affected.

If you are using a $50 off coupon, DO NOT order by any means other than filling out the original coupon and mailing it to The Eccentric Order. See below for complete details of ordering.

Because the uncut sheet sets are an oversized product, shipping costs will be high. However, up to three sets can be shipped in the same package, so the price of shipping remains the same for one to three sets delivered to the same customer. Shipping costs showing price breaks of single and multiple orders are posted in several places on this page.


Shipping of Uncut Sheet Sets will be by DHL Express only.
