If the item can not be delivered to the address but you still place the order with us, we will contact you through email with the extra shipping fee after the order is paid. You will need to pay the extra fee to get the order delivered. Those orders with no shipment service will be cancelled and refunded automatically with email notification.
Please kindly contact your account executive for more information if you need the item to be delivered to the remote areas to ensure your order could be processed successfully if the extra postage can not be obtained by the postage query bar.
