What are the shipping options to send items internationally?
We can use FedEx. If you have a preferred courier, please feel free to let us know. We’ll be happy to check if there’s one near our fulfilment centre.

How long does it take to receive my international order?
We are shipping from Manila, Philippines. Depending on your location and the shipping option you choose, shipping can take 1-3 days up to 6 weeks. We’ll provide you with the tracking number so you can track where your order is. Alternatively, we’ll be happy to track your order and follow up with the respective couriers.

Taxes and Duties
Everything Calligraphy is not liable for any taxes or duties you might incur from importation. This will depend on the country where you will ship your item so we also wouldn’t be certain about the taxation procedures.

Local

Do you offer free shipping?
Because we want our items to reach every island in the Philippines, we are offering free shipping to anywhere in the Philippines for purchases above P1500. Unfortunately, this excludes delivery addresses outside the Philippines even when purchases are made locally.
-
What is the difference between standard shipping or free shipping?
There is no difference between standard shipping and free shipping. We use the same courier Flash Express. If there is an option during check out, that means you’ve qualified for free shipping, so click that option to enjoy it.
-
Can you ship using my preferred courier?
We do our best to accommodate all of our customers’ needs and preferences. Should you prefer a different local courier like LBC, please send us an email at info@everythingcalligraphy@gmail.com and we’ll arrange it for you. Please note that using your preferred courier will exclude you from the free shipping. We will charge the shipping costs of whatever courier you choose on top of your order. Should you want it, we’ll be happy to provide you with a copy of the receipt to show you how much shipping fee was charged by your courier.
-
How long after payment do you ship my order?
We usually have a 24-hour turnover for orders. When you email us the deposit slip / payment confirmation on a Tuesday, we will do our best to ship on Wednesday or the next working day. Sometimes, when you make payment early in the day, it can be shipped on the same day, but courier pick ups are unpredictable so the next working day timeline is more realistic.
-
How long before I get my order?
Within Metro Manila
Based on our experience, deliveries within Metro Manila usually 3-4 working days. This count begins after the order has been picked up from our fulfilment centre. For example, you paid on Monday. If the courier picks up on Monday, you can expect your order on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Outside Metro Manila
For orders outside Metro Manila, shipping takes 5-7 working days. Please take note that shipping time to the provinces vary widely. It’s usually dependent on how close you are to a city or to Metro Manila. If your tracking number is not working or hasn’t been updated, please send us an email at info@everythingcalligraphy@gmail.com and we’ll help you follow up your order. -
How do I track my order?
Once our courier picks up your order, you will receive an email from us providing you with a tracking number. You may track your orders here. Alternatively, you can also email us at info@everythingcalligraphy@gmail.com and we can help you locate your order.

What couriers do you use for free shipping?
Our preferred courier is Flash Express Philippines. We have established a good working relationship with them and they’ve delivered over thousands of our orders.

How do you pack your items to ensure safe transport?
Our fulfilment specialists have been trained to treat your order with utmost care. We cling wrap all our ink bottles and wrap them in at least three layers of bubble wrap.

In any case your order still arrives with you damaged, please send us an email at info@everythingcalligraphy@gmail.com and we’ll do our best to resolve this by sending you a replacement or a refund.
-
Do you do gift-wrapping services?
Yes we do. For a small cost, we put your order in a special box and add a special handwritten note. You may select this option upon check out.
