PLEASE DO NOT use Contact Form to ask for our notification of re-stock news.

Some items inventory are running low.  If you wish us to notify you when we re-stock, please kindly mail us with specific items, colors and quantities if possible.  Or your mail will be categorized at "Other" folder we will process at a later stage after we notified those who gave us specific information.

I created few folders for better management:
T1 (1.5x6mm)
T311 (3x11mm)
T3 (3x22.5mm)
Others


You can mail us (desther@ms1.hinet.net  desther@ms1.hinet.net) to ask for notification.

How I work:
1. For example, you need 9pcs green 1.5x6mm vials.  You can mail us with title of "Notify me when you get more T1's, need T1G9".  I will put you to T1 folder.  When we get more T1's, we will notify customers by the sequences of when we get your request.  Or you can title a mail like "I need T1G12I10Y5R3O8U2P3W2B6 (stands for T1 1.5x6mm vials green 12, ice blue 10, yellow 5, red 3, orange 8, purple 2, pink 3, white 2 blue 6).

2. If you need 6pcs of 3x22.5mm green vial.  Mail us with title "Notify me when you get T3G, need 6".  Or "Notify me when you get new T3's, need T3G5I5Y3" (five green, five ice blue and three yellow), I will put your mail to T3 folder.

3. You need both 1.5x6mm and 3x22.5mm vials
You could mail us with title "Notify me when you get T1 and T3"
Please be aware of the fact that we will NOT notify you unless we have both items for you.

4. You just titled your mail like "Notify me when you get more vials" with what you need in the mail content which means I have to read your mail again to know what to do.  It will be categorized in "Others" folder and be processed after I notified all those on T1, T311, T3...etc. folders.

5. Same as above but you use our Contact Form instead of a mail, we will put your request to "Others" as well.

If we do not have sufficient vials re-stocked, we will serve those T1, T311, T3 customers first.

Happy New Year!

Thanks,
Daniel  Dec. 31, 2022

If tracking shows following 3 conditions, it might be held by your customs for checking.
1. still in Taiwan (TAIPEI INT AMF, TAIWAN)
2. not moving at e.g. ISC CHICAGO IL (USPS) for days or more than a week
3. inbound into customs

When a shipment is randomly held for customs inspection, there will be no further updates until it is released. Please note that we cannot expedite this process. If you require timely delivery, we recommend choosing FedEx shipping.


Thanks,
​Daniel

Recent tracking shows that all shipments to USA get back to normal.  Shipments are not held too long at customs.
Updated Sep. 14, 2022
----------------------------------------


Just found out from tracking that USA customs must be expecting all shipments more strictly as quite some shipments showed "Inbound into customs" and took 3-4 weeks to become "Inbound out of customs".   Those showed "processed through facility ISC CHICAGO IL (USPS) in early August just turned out to be "Inbound out of customs".  So it was very likely not an issue of USPS but was held by customs check-up. Please be more patient to wait for your shipment.  Thanks.

Updated on Sep. 1, 2022  Daniel
-----------------------------------
Recently, we do our routine tracking of all American shipments (registered air packages) and find that some recent shipments were stopped at ISC CHICAGO IL (USPS).  I wish all of you to know that pushing USPS from your side is more effective than we do from Taiwan.  After we shipped out your order, you should receive a notification mail with a tracking number (please read our FAQ page to find out how to find that number).  You may ask us for the tracking number as we keep all data in the file.  Please use that number (should be CGxxxxxxxxxxTW) to check with your local USPS office.

And I honestly hope you can try to choose FedEx as they offer excellent service and is very efficient in regards to "Delivering your shipment".  Postal system still works perfectly worldwide.  But let's say they handle way too many mails, parcels, packages all day long.  When one tiny trouble occurs, it becomes "everyone's business is nobody's business."  For a shipment heading to same shipping address via same registered air package, it could take as fast as 4-5 days or as long as 35-50 days.  In general, 10-20 business days is standard.  For a FedEx shipment to an USA address, it always takes 1-3 days, maximum 5 days.

FedEx adjusts their shipping fee constantly according to their fuel charge.  We are actually paying $2 or $5 more than we charge you for choosing FedEx.  But we are OK to absorb this fee as you get your shipment faster and everyone is happy.

We sold out some items especially those for firearm sighting.
Sorry that we ordered but have no idea when we can get new batches of size 1.4x3.5mm, 1.5x4.0mm, 1.6x4.5mm vials.
If you need them and wish us to notify you, please send mail with proper title such as "please notify me when you get 1.6x4.5mm vials". 
Then, we will put your mail to a folder kept for all mails which we can know to notify you when a specific vial is available.
Use this method for other sizes, colors you wish to have.
This will speed up our notification actions when we get new batches of certain vials.

Thanks a lot.

Using "contact form" works as well.  Only those mails are having title of "New Form Entry: Contact Form".  Even if we put the mails to a category where we know to notify, it costs us time to read the content to know what items you are expecting.  So we might not do the notification in time.

Please consider using FedEx shipping, so you will not be worrying about when you can get your orders.  Thanks.

For some reasons, we DO NOT take orders from France nor do we ship to France.
I revised the French shipping fee to $999 which I hope you can understand and do not consider to buy if you locate in France.  Daniel  Nov. 17, 2021

====================
Please do not choose country that has cheaper setting while you gave all other shipping address in another country.  
DO NOT choose wrong country or your order will be cancelled.

Thanks to Billy for this nice picture of his collections of Jeff Hanko's excellent flashlights.
Billy bought these tritium vials while they were still available and had them shipped to Jeff's shop for vial installation.  I must say that I am very envious of Billy having these gorgeous flashlights.

VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR ALL AMERICAN orders:
Shipping fee increase for all American orders from Mar. 5, 2021 onward.  It will be a huge increase as our post office informs that USPS raise their fee drastically.  They have to adjust accordingly.

$2 unregistered air parcel will be increased to $6.
$5 registered air parcel increased to $12
$10 registered packaged increased to $23
$28 EMS speed post increased to $38
(will remove this option as FedEx is $46 and goes much faster)
Daniel Feb. 6, 2021
----------------------------------
Please note: We take US$ via PayPal only.  If we asked you to pay a certain amount of US$ to cover either vials or shipping fee difference of upgrading shipping method, please DO NOT change the currency at PayPal to our local currency, NT$.  If you change the currency to NT$, we WILL ask you again for another 5% of that US$ amount.  It is roughly the exchange rate loss at our side.
Important notice:

PayPal has changed their refund policy lately.  We have experienced that PayPal did not refund the handling fee like they did before.  So whenever you ask us to cancel the order, we will deduct 4.4% + $0.30 fee from your order's amount. 

For example, you ordered $45 and chose $5 shipping.  We as the seller are charged by PayPal total $2.50 ($2.2 for the merchant, shipping and $0.30 PayPal fixed handling fee).  So if you asked us to cancel such an order, we will deduct $2.50 and refund you $47.50 only.

Wish all of you stay safe and healthy in the crisis of Coronavirus outbreak.  So far, the situation in Taiwan is quite OK as our government has done a great job since early January, 2020.  We can still ship out the orders regularly.  However, our post office announced that mails, parcels and packages heading to following countries are temporarily not available:

As passenger flights have been decreased significantly, all parcels may be handed to our post office within 24 hours mostly (except weekends), they could not hop onto an available flight in time.  Recent tracking found one traceable $10 shipment was handed to our post office on Apr. 16, 2020, it ended up will take the flight on May 5, 2020.  Please do not rush us as this is not what we can control.  If you really need your order to be delivered faster, please choose FedEx option.  Thanks.  Daniel  May 4, 2020
​---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


For those who ordered and received our shipment notification, please kindly note that delivery may take longer than it used to be.  It was 10-15 business days but due to the international flights decreased or cancelled, your shipment takes 15-25 business days to reach you now.  Even FedEx informed us that their service takes slightly longer as well.    Daniel updated on Apr. 22, 2020

To: Australian customers

Our post office re-opened their service partially to take Australian shipments on Jul. 10, 2020.  This is for EMS speed post service only.  If you are in Australia and wish us to ship out without waiting, please consider to choose EMS speed post shipping option.  Thanks.

As recommended by Ethan's suggestion, we are moving the picture of the country list that our post office does not take shipment temporarily backward so main picture of the products can be seen instantly.  DO check 2nd picture or this home page (lower area) to learn if your country is temporarily not available for us to ship to.

Thanks,

Recent tracking (for those use $10 and $28 shipping) show all parcels and packages heading USA take much longer than before.  It took 10-15 business days before this Covid-19 pandemic.  Now, it takes 20-30 BUSINESS days to reach you.  That means many customers received an automatic mail sent from the system asking for review BEFORE they received their orders.

We did not cause this pandemic.  Taiwan did a great job to have only 443 cases with 7 deaths so far.  The outside world is much worse than this small island.  The international passenger flights have been decreased a lot which cause the shipments 5-15 days to hop onto an available airplane.  Many countries are not available such as Australia, Ireland, Germany..... till now.  I have been receiving many complaints about not receiving their orders in time.  I can understand how you feel but I would highly recommend these customers to use $10, $28 or FedEx shipping in the future. Former 2 options allow both of us to track online to understand how your shipments are being processed, or even asked USPS to notify both of us.  FedEx shipment can reach you within 2-5 days even in this crazy Covid-19 pandemic.

FedEx is the best shipping method we have ever experienced.  Not only their employees are nice to deal with and very professional, they delivered promptly.  Even during this tough Covid-19 pandemic for all the world to suffer, they delivered our customers' orders fast.  Mails and parcels for Hawaii are not taken by our post office at the moment, FedEx still does their job professionally.  For those countries our post office listed to be temporarily unsupported, please try to ask us a question whether FedEx supports.  We will consult with FedEx and give you a quote of the shipping fee.  Of course, FedEx delivers shipments with their own air cargo flights, it costs more for better and faster service.

Sorry that we are running out of stainless steel caps for SB3a key fobs, so we just zero the inventory and set it hidden.  We will re-list this item once we get more S/S caps....Daniel  Jan. 8, 2020

If you wish to track your shipment online, please choose $10 or $28 option.  $5 option gives you a tracking number of RAxxxxxxxxxTW which can ONLY be tracked by staff of your local post office after we apply for tracking service with a paper form presented to our post office officially.  And it takes time to get feedback.  Although $2 and $5 (both NOT available for one country) can not be tracked online, they are still quite reliable.  PLEASE kindly be notified and choose your shipping method carefully.
If you must add something to your previous order which we have not shipped out yet, please give us a note on your 2nd order especially when you are ordering twice with same items, quantities and colors.  That gives us the impression of a possible error at your end by doing the ordering process twice as you thought your first attempt failed.  We encountered this case before.  So whatever identical order came in without any note will be treated as accidentally-released double order and be canceled and refunded from our side.
Thanks,
Daniel


Remark: Normally we ship out your order within 24 hours after our receipt of your order and payment.  Our post office does not work on weekends, so any order comes in on weekends will be shipped out on Monday.
Please kindly double check your shipping address while you check out.  We can not verify if your shipping address is complete or not especially there should be an apartment number, suite number...etc.
Thanks,
Daniel

As there are quite a few customers asking for "DO NOT SIGN FOR PACKAGE", we decide to re-offer the $2 unregistered shipping option for order amount less than $50. But please read the following term carefully.

$2 Unregistered air parcel shipping is a cheaper method which does not require signature upon delivery.  There is no proof of shipping.
Therefore, by choosing $2 unregistered air parcel, you waive your right of filing a chargeback due to lost shipping.  You are fully aware of and agree to the sales terms.  We reserve the right to take your order or not.

Gaseous Tritium Light Source (GTLS) is a light source that does not require any power input to provide continuous illumination in darkness for more than 10-15 years.  It is ideal light source for all kinds of safety signs or emergency devices.  The markers we offer are great and recommended for attaching with your vital equipments or personal belongings to be visible and found in total darkness.
