Orders

All orders are subject to acceptance and availability, and items in your shopping basket are not reserved and may be purchased by other customers.

Papabubble offers products for sale that are in stock and available for dispatch from our shop. Occasionally however, we may be out of stocks or waiting for shipments from third parity vendors/ suppliers such as our packaging suppliers or stickers suppliers. Consequently you may from time to time be given the possibility of making an Advance Payment for certain items in which case you are able to make an Advance Purchase. This will ensure that you receive this item in priority once stock has been delivered to Papabubble. Papabubble will only take Advance Purchase orders for stock that has been scheduled for delivery by a supplier. Your rights regarding Advance Purchase are the same as those for any other purchase at Papabubble.

Items received into stock may be pre-allocated to satisfy Advance Payment orders and customers making Advance Payments will receive items in priority to customers on the Waiting List or customers ordering through the Site for immediate delivery. Please be aware that we may be unable to deliver selected Advance Payment merchandise due to production problems or quality check issues identified when we receive an order into stock. In these circumstances we will notify you by email and refund the Advance Payment to your credit/debit card within thirty days of being advised that merchandise has become unavailable.

Pricing Policy

Prices shown on the Site are in Chinese Yuan (CNY ¥), EURO (EUR $), Japanese Yen (JPY ¥), HK Dollars (HKD $) Pound Sterling (GBP £), and US Dollars (USD $).

To ensure that the most accurate pricing including taxes, duties and delivery costs to overseas, we would not calculate the total amount and display on the Site. We recommend that you email us at info@papabubble.com.hk to get a quotation for shipment to your destination.

All prices and offers remain valid as advertised from time to time. The Chinese Yuan (CNY ¥), EURO (EUR $), Japanese Yen (JPY ¥), HK Dollars (HKD $) Pound Sterling (GBP £), and US Dollars (USD $) price of a product displayed on the Site at the time the order is accepted will be honored, except in cases of patent error.

From time to time, prices are subject to change in response to currency exchange rate changes, markdowns and other commercial factors. The price applicable to your order will be the price current at the time your order is accepted.

If you are a customer whose credit/debit card is not denominated in HK Dollars, the final price will be calculated in accordance with the applicable exchange rate on the day your card issuer processes the transaction.

Sale Price Adjustment Policy

We are unable to offer price adjustment on items originally purchased in a sale or on any special promotion items that are temporarily reduced in price. Once an item has been purchased at a discounted sale price, no price adjustment will be offered should the item be further marked-down.

Acceptance of Your Order

Once you have made your choice and your order has been placed, you will receive an email acknowledging the details of your order. This email is NOT an acceptance of your order, just a confirmation that we have received it.

Unless we cancel your order, acceptance of your order and completion of the contract between you and Papabubble will be completed when we email you to confirm the goods have been dispatched.

We shall be under no obligation to accept or fulfill an order for a product that was advertised at an incorrect price and reserve the right to cancel such an order that has been accepted or is in transit. If you order a product that is priced incorrectly for any reason, we will email or telephone you to inform you that we have not accepted your order and/or that the relevant part of your order has been cancelled. If you have already paid for the goods, we shall refund the full amount as soon as we are able.
