You accept PS, EMS, and all other mail carriers Pilotfly offers (“Mail Carrier(s)”) as reliable mail carriers and Pilotfly carriers of choice.
If you select Air mail service, Pilotfly will send your packages with Taiwan Postal Service (“TWPS”). Depending on the type of TWPS service you choose (First Class, Priority Mail, or Express Mail) the package may show receipt by the USPS, but may not show any tracking information after it was received by the USPS. Even mail service types that typically provide full tracking information to your location may sometimes not show any information beyond the TWPS receiving the package. Pilotfly has no influence or control over the internal processes of Mail Carriers or the local postal system of your country. Pilotfly can not be held liable for any mistakes made by a Mail Carrier or your local country’s postal service.

If the tracking information for your package shows receipt by any of Pilotfly’s mail carriers, Pilotfly is not responsible if your package never arrives at your location. No refunds will be provided if your package is lost in the mail system either in the Taiwan or in your destination country. Almost all packages sent by Pilotfly reach their recipient.

Information for International Shipments
For international shipments, the First Class Mail International or EMS . Fedex options typically will not provide tracking or delivery confirmation after the shipments leave the Taiwan. EMS are more likely to be scanned after they leave the Taiwan, but there is no guarantee from Pilotfly, or the TWPS that items will receive additional scans. Please note that delivery times for TWPS international shipments can vary wildly, even for Priority and Express Mail shipments, and it could take 1-2 months to receive items sent via the Taiwan Post Office under worst case situations. Since the TWPS will not claim responsibility for packages and the shipments are not normally scanned once they leave the United States, Pilotfly cannot be held responsible for lost shipments for international orders when they have been shipped via any TWPS method. Choosing a TWPS method of shipment for international shipments is the customer’s choice and they are accepting full responsibility for any lost shipment. If you want a fully traceable shipment, you must choose FedEx as the method of shipment. You agree to these terms when placing an order with us.
