Although we will use all best efforts, we cannot guarantee tracking of late deliveries beyond 14 days from the date of dispatch. Registered Post service does NOT offer a tracking facility – this is outside of our control, as this is set by local Post.

Accessories can be delivered by either Registered Post, or Courier at our buyer's discretion. Items traveling by Hong Kong Post can be sent to a PO Box if required.

6.0 Pricing, Product Description and Availability
6.1 Whilst we endeavour to ensure the prices on our website are as accurate as possible, we reserve the right to change a price for ordered goods as we see fit. If a price for an ordered item is corrected due to exceptional or uncontrollable circumstance, customers will be informed of the change before payment is processed and offered the opportunity to cancel / amend their order to their preference. We may offer price reductions for promotional items from time to time at our discretion. Credits will not be offered for items that have been ordered before a promotional price has been launched, unless we deem this to be so.
6.2 Because of the dynamic nature of technology and markets (e.g. exchange rate variations and other variables beyond our control), prices, product versions, details and availability are subject to change on a continual basis without prior notice. Prices can and do change from day to day; if a price at the time of ordering is higher than a previously-shown price then the price at the time of ordering is the one that applies. If no promotion is evident, this may be primarily due to the fact that our company is a global organization and relies on global currency. Our parent company is EXPANSYS PLC, based in UK. Our local site currencies are often pegged to our parent company's dollar. As a result, pricing can fluctuate. If you have any questions, please Contact us
6.3 If an order is placed for an item with an erroneous price, and the erroneous price is less than the cost price of the item, we reserve the right to offer the opportunity for the customer to instead either receive the best-possible discount or to cancel the order.
6.4 Prices on orders for pre-release items are valid for one week after the order is placed. If the price changes when stock becomes available, customers will be informed of the change before payment is processed, and offered the opportunity to confirm or cancel their order, as per their preference.
6.5 EXPANSYS will honour requests for refund on the difference of price drops that occur within the same day of the original invoice date. Price drops beyond this date will not be matched.
6.6 Where stock availability for an item states a quantity "In Stock Now" then we have stock available in our Asia Hub (Hong Kong warehouse), to be allocated to confirmed valid orders in date priority. Where stock availability for an item states a quantity "In Stock" followed by the words "- x Days This product is at our central warehouse and should be shipped in x days" then the stock is available in an overseas EXPANSYS warehouse, and the number of days is a fair estimate of when the item would arrive into our Hong Kong warehouse and be then shipped to you. Collection is possible in person, if you wish to pop over to collect an order, please notify us in advance of your arrival so that we can ensure that we have available stock for your convenience.
6.7 Stock availability on our website and order confirmations is generated by our system taking into account current stock levels, customer backorders, products already in transit from suppliers or from another EXPANSYS warehouse, and information provided by suppliers for pending deliveries. Although as accurate as possible and generally reliable, they are estimates only which can be affected by many factors, especially unforeseen manufacturing delays or product discontinuations. EXPANSYS offers these estimates in good faith but we cannot be held responsible should estimated and actual times vary, or if a product is discontinued or superseded by a manufacturer. If a buyer purchases an item that falls out of stock due to whatever reason, we will offer a solution in their best interests, including stock swap, or order cancellation, if the buyer does not want to wait for stock replenishment of the exact item ordered.
6.8 Descriptions and specifications of products shown on our website are taken directly from information supplied by manufacturers. Products are supplied as named and described. Where a product description is accompanied by an illustration of the packaging or product itself, that illustration is for illustrative purposes only and may not look absolutely identical to the product to be supplied; if the exact appearance of the product or packaging is essential to be identical then you should make that clear to us in writing at the time of order. This also applies if you don't want a barcode label on the packaging.
6.9 Because EXPANSYS operates in many different countries, occasionally products may inadvertently appear on our Hong Kong website that we may be unable to sell here for technical, regulatory or commercial reasons. Appearance of these items is not intentional and we reserve the right to remove them without notice and/or decline any orders received for them.

7.1 We shall not be liable to you or any related party, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, for any business or personal loss including loss of profits (whether direct or indirect), data, revenue, goodwill, convenience, equipment/device/machinery/vehicle functionality, travel arrangements, third party claims or for any other incidental or consequential loss, that you may suffer as a result of the purchase, use or ordering of, goods from us. Any other liability shall be limited to the price paid for the goods. We do not exclude our liability for death or personal injury.
