Any orders submitted, when the shop is open or the item is available, will be processed according to this shipping policy; even if the shop closes shortly afterward. When closed or unavailable, orders will not be able to be submitted, and thus will not be processed. By shopping with Nova Nocturne Art, customers acknowledge and agree to the shipping policy. This shipping policy is subject to update at any time.
