THATBLACKCAT by ELAINE WONG ART, MALAYSIA (SA0392346-V) ("we" and "us") is the operator of (www.thatblackcat.com) ("Website"). By placing an order through this Website you will be agreeing to the terms below. These are provided to ensure both parties are aware of and agree upon this arrangement to mutually protect and set expectations on our service.
ThatBlackCat products are fulfilled directly by our international worldwide drop-shipping partners (except for some items tagged as "Made in Malaysia" which are produced by our partners in Malaysia.)
Where will my order ship from?
We work with on-demand order fulfillment companies with facilities worldwide!
Products Fulfilment - how that works?
Each product is a custom order. Some of our products are fulfilled by US-based or Europe-based fulfillment center. This will help us to shorten delivery times for US & European countries but typically wait time can be up to 7-20 days, depending on where you are located.
We currently have a few apparel options, art prints and merch items that can be fulfilled in US, Europe, Australia, Mexico, Canada, Latvia, Spain, UK, South Korea and Malaysia. This can eliminate fees and also reduce waiting time and shipping costs.
You can find those items by searching for "US" or "Europe" or "Spain" or "Made in Malaysia" etc. In some instances an item may only be available for production in certain sizes or colors so if you have questions prior to ordering please contact us.
Why Did I Only Receive Part Of My Order?
We ship from various different fulfillment warehouses—Based on product type(s) in your order, you may receive two or more shipments.
Certain items tagged "Made in Malaysia" items (eg. some tote bags, etc) are shipped from Elaine's studio in Malaysia, while other items like prints, clothing, mugs, etc are shipped by our manufacturers so it is pretty common to have things ship out in separate orders. If you placed an International order it is possible that some of your order could be produced in Europe or Australia or Mexico or Canada while the rest is produced in the United States which will also result in separate packages. Everything is done to minimize your shipping costs.
Prints (framed / canvas), Tote Bags, and Stickers ship separately from all other items. If your order includes these items and another item not listed please expect your order in at least two different shipments.
Shipping Costs
Shipping costs are calculated during checkout based on product type (weight, dimensions) and destination of the items in the order. Payment for shipping will be collected with the purchase. This price will be the final price for shipping cost to the customer.
