Shipping Policy
Last Updated: June 6, 2026
At Athena's Anime Figure Shop, we strive to ship your collectibles safely and efficiently. Please review our shipping policy before placing your order.
Order Processing
In-Stock Items
Orders for in-stock items are typically processed within 1–3 business days after payment is received.
Processing times may be extended during holidays, major product releases, sales events, or periods of unusually high order volume.
Receiving a shipping confirmation email means your order has entered the shipping process and can no longer be canceled.
Pre-Order Items
Pre-order items are products that have not yet been released or received into our inventory.
Estimated release dates are provided by manufacturers and distributors and are subject to change without notice. Athena's Anime Figure Shop cannot guarantee manufacturer release schedules.
Pre-Order Shipping Charges
Unless otherwise stated, shipping is not included in the purchase price of pre-order items.
When your pre-order arrives and is ready to ship:
- Shipping costs will be calculated based on the size, weight, and destination of your order.
- A separate shipping invoice will be sent to the email address associated with your order.
- Payment of the shipping invoice is required before the order will ship.
By placing a pre-order, you acknowledge and agree that shipping charges will be collected separately.
Failure to pay the shipping invoice within the specified payment period may result in cancellation of the order in accordance with our Cancellation Policy.
Combined Orders
Orders containing both in-stock and pre-order items may be handled separately at our discretion.
If an order contains multiple pre-order items with different release dates:
- Items may be held until all products are available for shipment.
- Items may be shipped separately if necessary.
- Additional shipping charges may apply for split shipments.
Customers requesting separate shipments may be responsible for additional shipping costs.
