INT'L CUSTOMERS;  Unless your order's >$400 or has at least one item explicitly stating "includes EMS express mail", free tracking is NOT included-you must optionally elect to purchase it (if you want it).  Service ranges 7-90 days and there's absolutely no way to find out what's going on.

We'll happily accept small orders from all over earth, however...

PURCHASE WITHOUT TRACKING = YOU ASSUME ALL RISK OF LOSS

We've no option to add any tracking to regular 1st class int'l mail (domestic packages now get this for free).
So far (>7000 att. @ this writing), overall risk of disappearance is ~0.46%, with Western Europe/Great Britain/Canada closer to ~0.2% and Australia/New Zealand thus far perfect with well over 1000 combined attempts.

I can't offer Registered Mail anymore-it takes too long hand-writing 3 forms, sealing a box with water-activated tape, and queueing up at the post office...time's just too valued.  We instead offer to partially subsidize EMS Express Mail's high cost, which is always a minimum of $38(and moves up based on a weight in a jiffy!).
The option buys speed & safety, but only you can decide if it is worth it to you.  Minimum order value of $100 to elect this option.

If I'd known these were lovely, we'd have had them a long time ago...to me horn's a major extravagance to pack into a brush (I can sympathize with those folks ardently approaching all their brush purchases seeking the maximum knot value per buck), but who am I to tell you how to spend your money???  There's plenty of folks on earth whom can drop this kind of change to have a lovely horn handle, and more power to 'em! The hair in these brushes is a premium hair, and though they aren't specific I would characterize it as the equivalent of Vulfix's "silvertip badger" and Simpsons' "super badger" grades.  They do, however, go to the trouble to specify their 26mm as silvertip badger hair knots...look them over and decide for yourself, for I suspect it may be (more) identical (excellent) hair. These brushes are certainly made by hand and have hand-formed knots like one of their very famous competitors which we also sell (wink, wink), and indeed they remind me a lot of that same line; a very well packed knot with individual character, high grade soft-tipped badger hair, and lovely handlework.
