Shipping & tracking
Tracking your order / no tracking service purchased
If you choose a shipping option without tracking at checkout, please keep in mind that there is no way for us to track your package. If it is lost in the mail, we can't cover it, with no exceptions.
Shipping address for apartments, units and villages
If you notice a wrong address after placing an order, contact us immediately. We are not responsible once the parcel has shipped. Mail carriers won't search for your unit, so please make sure your unit number is part of your shipping address.
Why is the invoice attached to the outside of the box?
For all European, Singapore and some US orders, the invoice must be attached to the OUTSIDE of the box to stop you from being taxed twice. If you would like us to put the invoice inside the box instead and are willing to take that risk, please let us know.
Duties, returns & damaged items
Customers in the US and UK: do I have to pay tariffs or brokerage fees?
No. Orders to the United States and the United Kingdom are shipped Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), so there are no extra charges for you. We prepay all duties and fees in advance. The payment you make at checkout is the only payment required. No hidden charges, no surprises. Peace ✌️
For all other countries outside Canada, local customs, duty or brokerage fees may be charged on delivery.
What if my item arrived damaged?
Take photos of the broken item and its packaging and email them to service@mforminiatures.ca within 7 days of delivery. We will take it from there.
Returning items from a free-shipping order (US and Canada)
Once we receive your returned items, the shipping cost we originally covered, plus any tariff costs, will be deducted from your refund. For orders without free shipping, only tariff costs (if any) will be deducted. See our Refund policy for full details.
Sizes & scale
Scale and size: before placing an order
While our items are listed with their scales (1:6 or 1:12), actual sizes may vary because real-life items differ in size. We strongly recommend checking the measurements on the product page and comparing them to your dollhouse items BEFORE placing an order.
Scale and size: after placing an order
By placing an order with us, you confirm that you have read and agree to the scale and size details on the product page. Returns because of a personal preference in scale or size are not accepted.
What does "Set of 4" mean?
It means the listing includes exactly 4 pieces, no more and no less. We use this naming style across our entire store.
