Response to COVID-19

As of April 2020, COVID-19 is raging worldwide.

Considering hygiene, cuff-if has been delivering items using the following procedure: "Order → Item production → Cleaning with absolute ethanol → Shipping''.
Even in Japan, it has become difficult to obtain anhydrous ethanol, which is always used to clean raw materials and items, so we will switch to cleaning items with disinfectant ethanol before shipping.

Disinfectant ethanol differs from anhydrous ethanol in that it requires time to dry, so it will take an additional day to ship.

In addition, depending on the region or country, there may be a temporary hold on mail collection or a delay in delivery, so we ask for your understanding for a while until the situation calms down.

With the end of COVID-19 pandemic, we have returned to normal processes.

In many countries and regions, the methods for accepting, shipping  and shipping fee international mail have changed from before the coronavirus pandemic, and trends may continue to change in the future. We will continue to ship items according to the situation.

[About shipping method]

 

cuff-if ships items within Japan by post-in rather than by hand.
In addition, the outer box is wrapped in vinyl film for shipping.


For added peace of mind, it is best to peel off the vinyl immediately after receiving it from the post and throw it away.
