DELIVERY
What is a Pre-Order?
A pre-order allows you to purchase an item before it’s available for immediate shipping. By pre-ordering, you secure your Explorer Pack from our initial production run, ensuring you’re among the first to receive it. Once production is complete, your order will be shipped to you on the expected shipping date provided at checkout.
If you have any questions about pre-orders or shipping timelines, feel free to contact our support team at support@brawstore.com
Shipping
We are a small, independent company, and while we work hard to get your orders out as quickly as possible, shipping times may occasionally vary. We ship and deliver orders Monday to Friday, excluding Bank Holidays. Our warehouse does not operate on weekends, so any orders placed after 12pm on Friday will be processed the following Monday.
The estimated transit times below apply to in-stock items once your order has been processed. For pre-orders, shipping will begin as soon as stock arrives, and we’ll keep you updated every step of the way.
If you have any questions about your delivery, please don’t hesitate to contact us at support@brawstore.com. Thank you for your patience and support!
