UPDATED February 26th 2021

We are working closely with our international shipping partners to monitor the status of all international deliveries. We will update the list below as any status changes are made.


Shipping into countries with "Expect Delays" as noted below means there are limited flights into your country and/ or we have to re-route through other countries to get your package to you. Our expediter will hold orders in their facility and send them when they can. This means that your parcel may be “stuck” in Los Angeles for a period of time as noted below in the "Estimated Delays" column.


As of April 30th 2020 we will not ship "Service Suspended" orders out of our facility. While our expediter will hold your order and ship it when they can we have decided holding them here at CastleMania is the same as our expediter holding it, but gives you the option to change your mind an cancel your order if the delays persist.

We continue to see some delays at Gateway of about 3 days, while other facilities may be 1 to 2 days delay. Please note that the larger/heavier packages continue to present the biggest challenges for us and can be significantly delayed as they work their way through our network. 2/26/2021
