HOW TO MEASURE

COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS: Please note, we are currently experiencing shipping delays due to current COVID-19 restrictions in Shenzhen. All orders ARE still being shipped, however it is taking longer than usual. We thank you for your patience during these times.

COVID-19 UPDATE: Both our standard and express shipping options are being shipped out and being delivered worldwide! 

We highly recommend selecting our EXPRESS option due to global COVID-19 postage delays affecting all standard postage lines.

Express lines are experiencing less delays thus we highly recommend opting for this option if you want your order to arrive faster. You're more than welcome to still order via our standard shipping option if you are happy to wait for your order to be delivered but please know that this will take longer than usual to be delivered and we are unable to change the shipping method once it has been shipped.

We currently can not ship orders to Europe via our express option and so all European orders will be shipped via the next best available postal company.

SHIPPING SERVICES - WORLDWIDE

PROCESSING TIME

All orders will be packaged and shipped within 5-10 business days. (This excludes orders that contain a pre ordered item). Please note, our estimated shipping times do not include our processing time.

We cannot guarantee that you will receive your package within the expected time frame as estimated shipping times are used as a guide only.  Shekou can not be held responsible for any delays, missing, lost or stolen packages sent by our couriers. Please note, during busy, sale and promotional times we can often have small delays.

PRE ORDER ITEMS

A pre order item is a product listed on our website that you can purchase before its ready to ship. Once the item becomes available in our warehouse, it will ship out!

Important reminder: If you pre order an item along with other items, we will not ship out the full order until the pre ordered item is available.

We recommend purchasing any pre order items in a separate order to any in stock items, unless you're willing to wait for the entire order!

Why do you have pre-order products?

In alignment with our sustainability mission, have chosen to introduce pre-order products to our store in an effort to become more sustainable.

How is this sustainable?

64% of the 32 billion garments produced each year end up in landfill.

By introducing waitlist products this allows us to produce an accurate number of each product, essentially eliminating any excess inventory.

What currency can I shop in?

We support, browsing and checking out in many currencies. You can select your currency in the footer of our website.
