Shipping options

Electronic Cats uses five carriers, Correos de México, UPS (United Parcel Service), DHL (Dalsey, Hillblom and Lynn), FedEx and Estafeta for shipping. Correos de México is traditionally cheaper, although delivery service is somewhat late compared to other parcels.

Shipping tracking information will be sent via email once the package has been shipped.
For shipping services dimensional weight is used, this reflects the density of the package, which is the amount of space a package occupies in relation to its actual weight. Dimensional weight can be applied to all shipping services.

• Correos de México, once the order is sent, will be out of our control. They are not guaranteed services and do not have expedited brokerage, which means packages can “stay in customs” for up to 4-6 weeks. Although they are usually extraordinary cases. Some packages are not delivered at all (1% of cases). The estimated delivery time is 3-4 weeks in 95% of cases depending on the destination, you accept these delivery conditions by choosing this shipping method. Claims for lost packages can be submitted up to 30 days after we have notified that your order was shipped and your tracking information has been sent.

International orders

Parcel: Correos de México, UPS, DHL, FedEx and Estafeta
For money orders, packages are delivered to your country’s postal service for “door to door” delivery.
You are responsible for VAT, Duties, Fees, Taxes, Handling Fees, Brokerage Fees, Customs Clearance Fees etc. required by your country to import consumer goods! All international shipments are eligible for these rates. Electronic Cats (the sender) cannot predict the customs / tariff habits of your country, therefore you should be prepared to pay the full VAT on the declared value of your order, as well as the customs fees of DHL, UPS, Estafeta , FedEx or your country’s postal system. Keep a printed copy of your receipt by email as you may need to send a copy to your customs office or carrier.

We cannot mark orders as “gift”, “sample”, “educational” or lower values. Electronic Cats makes every effort to follow all rules, regulations, and laws for export compliance.

Return made by the carrier

If the carrier fails to deliver the order to the specified address, the package will be sent back to Electronic Cats. This case is usually called “Wrong Address”, and it usually occurs when the customer gives an address without enough data for the carrier to find it. By default, the package is returned to the logistics center that sent it.

Another reason the carrier could return a product is because it has not been claimed. If the end customer does not come to pick up the order at their post office or the corresponding carrier’s branch, the shipment would be returned.

If you receive an email from us informing you that any of your orders has returned to our center, don’t worry: we will add it to our temporary returns for 30 days. We will contact you to send your order again and confirm your data again. If you want your order to be forwarded to a new address, tell us! But keep in mind that you will have to pay for the new shipping costs.

We give you the option of making your shipment through an express parcel such as UPS, DHL, Estafeta or FedEX. For this, an additional payment complement is required, if you wish. That is, pay the difference in cost for an express package, where it should be noted that the delivery time is less. If, after 30 days of trying to contact you, we do not receive any response, we will no longer be responsible.
