We operate a ‘When it’s gone, it’s gone’ policy so items that appear on the website with a ‘sold out’ notice are not likely to be available for purchase again. However, stock queries can be sent to onlineshop@China-Blue.co.uk. We endeavour to excel in customer service and are happy to cancel or amend any order should the products not be available within your preferred time frame.
