Shipping from Taiwan to the USA: Delivery Times, Payment and Import Charges for Crystal Bracelets

Qi Yi Crystal (騏藝逸品) sends every US order from its one physical shop in Taichung, Taiwan by SF Express international courier, trackable end to end. Transit to the United States is about 3–7 business days after dispatch, and a made-to-order bracelet needs about 7–14 working days of hand-stringing before that, while in-stock pieces dispatch sooner. All timings are estimates only, and we never promise an arrival date. International shipping is already included in the displayed price, so nothing is added for delivery at checkout, and the minimum overseas order is NT$1,500. Prices are listed in New Taiwan dollars and shown in US$ as a conversion. You can pay with Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal. Any US duty, tariff or courier handling fee is paid by the recipient. We have no store, warehouse or pickup point in the US.

What the displayed price already covers

American shoppers are used to seeing a product price, then a shipping line, then tax, all stacked up at checkout. Our pricing works differently on the shipping part: international courier delivery is already included in the price you see on the product page, and nothing is added for delivery at checkout.

We deliberately do not call that a shipping giveaway, because it is not one. The cost of getting a parcel from Taichung to a US address is built into the displayed price. The only ordering condition for overseas customers is a minimum order of NT$1,500, and that figure is a minimum order rather than a threshold that unlocks anything.

  • Included: the bracelet and SF Express international delivery with tracking.
  • Not included: any US duty, tariff or courier handling fee, which is paid by the recipient.
  • Minimum overseas order: NT$1,500.

US$ display, NT$ pricing, and how to pay

Prices are listed in New Taiwan dollars (NT$, also written TWD). For US visitors the site shows a US$ figure as a conversion of the NT$ price, which makes browsing easier. Before you confirm payment, the exact amount and the currency charged are shown on screen, so check that line if the billing currency matters to you.

Accepted payment methods are Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal. Everything is paid online at checkout, since the only physical shop is in Taichung and there is no counter in the United States.

Duties, tariffs and handling fees on parcels to the US

US import rules for small parcels changed in 2025, so don't assume a low-value parcel is automatically duty-free.

Any duty, tariff or courier handling fee is paid by the recipient. We do not collect it at checkout and we do not absorb it afterward. We also cannot tell you the exact figure in advance, because it is assessed on the US side and not by us. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the authoritative source, and its published guidance prevails over anything a seller tells you, including this page.

If you are comparing our price with an American retailer, compare like with like: our displayed price includes international shipping but not US import charges.

Two clocks: making time, then SF Express transit

When someone asks how long shipping from Taiwan to the USA takes, the useful answer has two parts, and only the second part is really shipping.

  • Made-to-order bracelets: about 7–14 working days of hand-stringing in the Taichung shop before dispatch.
  • In-stock pieces: no making stage, so they dispatch sooner.
  • SF Express international to a US address: about 3–7 business days after dispatch.
  • Everything above is an estimate only. Customs clearance and courier handling are outside our control, and we do not promise an arrival date.
  • Gift planning: add making time and transit together and order early for birthdays, Mother's Day, Christmas and Lunar New Year.

Tracking, and who answers when Taiwan is asleep

Every overseas parcel goes by SF Express international and is trackable end to end, from the Taichung shop to your door. The shop ships to 60+ countries and regions.

For questions before or after ordering, message WhatsApp at +886 965 826 321. An AI assistant replies instantly in English and Chinese at any hour, which matters when your evening is the middle of the night in Taiwan. Complicated cases are passed to a real person, who follows up during Taiwan business hours. The site itself is also available in Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

Get the size right before the parcel crosses the Pacific

A made-to-order bracelet cannot be returned except for genuine defects, and sending anything back across an ocean is a chore, so the wrist measurement deserves a minute of care. Site sizes are in centimeters, from 11cm to 22cm in 0.5cm steps, which is about 4.3–8.7 inches.

Measure your actual wrist circumference with a soft tape and multiply the inches by 2.54. For example, 6.5 inches × 2.54 ≈ 16.5cm. Choose that exact number. Please don't pad it for comfort: the system already calculates slack from the bead size, and extra length makes the bracelet too loose.

Bead diameters are 6mm, 8mm and 10mm, and there is no minimum bead count on custom pieces. You can design through trait-based matching, BaZi five-element matching, zodiac and star-sign formulas, the bead-by-bead custom builder or the style collections. The readings are AI calculation, an algorithm, with no fortune-teller, master or human reader, and five-element, zodiac and star-sign pairings are folk culture and symbolism with no scientifically proven effect.

Returns, and what natural crystal looks like on arrival

In-stock items can be returned or exchanged within 7 days of receipt. Made-to-order bracelets cannot be returned except for genuine defects, because each one is strung for a single wrist and a single bead selection.

Each bead's stone type and size is listed when you order, and photos are for reference. When you open the parcel you may notice ice cracks, cloud-like inclusions (veils) and slight color variation from bead to bead. Those are normal, not defects, and they are more visible in the clear-bodied, transparent crystal that custom bracelets are mainly built around. The Taichung shop holds a 5.0-star Google rating.

FAQ

How long does shipping from Taiwan to the USA take?

SF Express international transit is about 3–7 business days after dispatch. If the bracelet is made to order, about 7–14 working days of hand-stringing come first, while in-stock pieces dispatch sooner. These are estimates only, and we do not promise an arrival date.

Will I pay customs on a bracelet shipped from Taiwan?

You may. US import rules for small parcels changed in 2025, so don't assume a low-value parcel is automatically duty-free. Any duty, tariff or courier handling fee is paid by the recipient, and we do not collect or absorb it. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the authoritative source.

How much is shipping to the US?

There is no separate shipping line. International shipping is already included in the displayed price, and nothing is added for delivery at checkout. Overseas orders need to reach a minimum of NT$1,500, which is a minimum order and not a shipping threshold.

Can I pay in US dollars with PayPal or Apple Pay?

PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa and Mastercard are all accepted. Prices are listed in New Taiwan dollars and shown in US$ as a conversion, and the exact amount and currency charged are shown before you confirm payment.

Can I track my package from Taiwan?

Yes. Every overseas order goes by SF Express international and is trackable end to end. If you have a question about a parcel, message WhatsApp at +886 965 826 321, where an AI assistant replies instantly in English and Chinese and complicated cases go to a real person.

Do you ship from a US warehouse or have a store I can pick up from?

No. Our only physical shop is at No. 37-22, Yuying Road, East District, Taichung, Taiwan. We have no store, counter, pop-up, stockist, warehouse or pickup point in the United States, and every US order is couriered from Taichung.

What if the bracelet doesn't fit when it arrives?

In-stock items can be returned or exchanged within 7 days of receipt, but made-to-order bracelets cannot be returned except for genuine defects. That is why sizing matters: measure your actual wrist, multiply inches by 2.54, and choose that exact number between 11cm and 22cm. Don't pad it, because the system already calculates slack and extra length makes the bracelet too loose.

What is the minimum order for shipping to the United States?

The minimum overseas order is NT$1,500, shown on the site with a US$ conversion. It is simply the smallest order we send abroad, and international shipping is already included in the displayed price.
