PRE-ORDER FAQ
YOUR FIRST PRE-ORDER
Q: How do I pre-order an item?
A: First of all, pay a deposit to indicate your interest. Simply add the desired item and quantity to cart, and make your payment.
You will receive an allocation email from us when the item is ready for release by the distributor.
If you have been successfully allocated, your payment instructions and expected collection/ shipping dates will be in that email.
We will also send you the tracking ID when you opt for shipping and your parcel is prepared.
DEPOSITS
Q: How do I know if my pre-order deposit is confirmed?
A: You will receive a confirmation email from us after completing your payment online. You can also check your pre-orders from your account page.
Q: I did not receive any confirmation email for my deposit.
A: Deposit confirmation emails are issued from enquiry@toysdachi.com. Check your spam and update your settings to recognize this email address. Contact us if you still can't find it.
Q: Do I have to pay for shipping when making deposits?
A: You do not have to pay for shipping at this stage. However, you do need to select a delivery option due to system requirements. Both options (shipping/ pickup) will not add a shipping fee, and will not count as your final delivery option. Please contact us if you are charged for shipping at this point.
ALLOCATION
Q: I cannot find the allocation email.
A: Allocation emails are issued from customer@toysdachi.com. Check your spam and update your settings to recognize this email address. Contact us if you still can't find it.
Q: Will I get full allocation of my order?
A: All deposits will be logged in upon closing of the preorders, and all orders are subjected to distributor allocation. Please refer to our terms of services for allocation policies.
Q: What happens if my order is partially/ not allocated?
A: All unfulfilled pre-orders will be placed on backorder, and fulfilled in subsequent waves when there are restocks from distributors. This backorder will be valid for up to 6 months from the release date stated in your notification email.
Q: What if I am still not allocated after the backorder expires?
A: Your deposit of unfulfilled orders will be refunded after backorder expires, or when there is confirmation of no further stocks from the distributors.
Q: What are the payment options for balance payment?
A: You can choose to pay online (PayNow) or when you pickup in store (PayNow/ Paywave/ credit card/ cash). If you need to pay online by credit card, we can help you on an ad-hoc basis.
Q: How do I know the release date of my item?
A: We will inform you about the actual release date in your allocation email. Do note that the release date may vary from the expected data in our listing, as provided by the distributors.
DELIVERY
Q: What delivery options do I have for my allocated pre-orders?

Self-pickup is free, while $5 will be chargeable for standard residential shipping. If you are a shipping a case, $10 per case will be chargeable.
Q: When do I choose my preferred delivery for my pre-orders?
A: You may indicate your preference when you receive the allocation email.

A: We strongly encourage self-collection for pre-orders for XM Studios and Irons Studios products due to the size and delicate nature.
Q: Do you ship internationally?
A: We only ship within Singapore at the moment. If you are located overseas but managed to secure a delivery/ forwarding service* with a Singapore address that we can deliver to, we will be able to keep your pre-order. Otherwise, we will have to cancel and refund your order.
For pre-orders that are successfully allocated to you, in the event you are not able to collect in Singapore or provide a Singapore address for delivery after all, we will not be able to arrange for international shipping on your behalf and reserve the right to cancel your allocation.

Our responsibility will be up to the point of handover within Singapore. We are not liable for damages/ issues that occur thereafter.
