Operations

What we do

Four functions, run in-house, that turn a supplier catalog into a delivered order and a customer who can reach us afterwards.

Sourcing & quality control

We qualify a supplier before the first purchase order and keep reviewing them afterwards. Nothing reaches a customer that has not been checked against a written specification.

  • Supplier due diligence: business registration, production capacity, references and required product certifications.
  • Pre-production samples inspected against a documented spec sheet before any bulk order.
  • Batch inspection on arrival, with defect rates tracked per supplier.
  • Suppliers whose defect or delay rate exceeds our threshold are replaced.

Storefront & payments

Each of our stores is built and maintained by us, on established commerce platforms, with payments processed by regulated providers.

  • Catalog, pricing and promotions managed by our own team.
  • Checkout served over HTTPS; card data is captured and stored by PCI-DSS compliant processors, never by us.
  • Automated fraud screening on every order, with manual review of flagged transactions.
  • Daily reconciliation between store orders, processor settlements and our bank records.

Fulfillment & logistics

Orders are released to fulfillment after payment clears and fraud screening passes, then tracked until delivery is confirmed.

  • Processing within 1–2 business days of a cleared payment.
  • Tracking number issued to the customer by email as soon as the parcel is dispatched.
  • Carrier exceptions (delays, failed delivery, loss) monitored and resolved by our support team.
  • Customs documentation prepared for international shipments where applicable.

Customer support & after-sales

Support is a published email address answered by our team, not a form that goes nowhere. The same team owns returns, replacements and refunds.

  • First response within one business day, Monday to Friday.
  • Returns accepted under the published Refund & Return Policy.
  • Approved refunds issued to the original payment method within 5–10 business days.
  • Disputes and chargebacks answered with full order and delivery evidence.
Order lifecycle

What happens after a customer clicks buy

The same sequence applies to every order on every store we operate.

Payment authorized

The processor authorizes the charge and the customer receives an order confirmation listing items, total and delivery estimate.

Screened and released

The order passes fraud screening and address validation, then is released to the fulfillment center.

Packed and shipped

The parcel is picked, packed and handed to the carrier. A tracking number is emailed to the customer.

Delivered and supported

We monitor delivery confirmation and remain responsible for returns, replacements and refunds under our published policies.

Our published policies

Every commitment on this page is written down and applies to all of our stores.
