.Payment
Payment can be made by either PayPal or Bank Transfer, whichever customers would like to use.
The advantage of using PayPal is the timeliness, while the disadvantage is the relatively high commission fee charged by PayPal. Therefore, PayPal is usually recommended for order of small amount.
In terms of Bank Transfer, it will take longer time, even one week to the maximum; however, the handling charge is lower to some extent; so, Bank Transfer is preferred when the order value is large.
.Shipping Policy
For any orders with value exceeding USD 300, free shipping will be provided (excluding 3D printer and MakerSpace Kits); however, free shipping is not available for orders subject to discounts.
PS: the customer for which free shipping is provided may not designate the courier, which will be determined at the sole discretion of Makeblcok.
