Shipping & Delivery

Shipping

  • Our watch strap, wallet, and belt, etc., usually take up to 5-7 business days to process. For the items that need customization and special care, they may take a few extra days. Your items will be shipped out, and a tracking number will be updated for your orders right after they are finished.
  • With large items such as shoes, boots, and any type of bag, they take much more effort to handle, so we will reach out to you directly to discuss when you can expect your item to be shipped.

Delivery

  • We cover standard shipping for all items in our store to the US, England, and Australia. For other countries, you have to pay for the shipping cost.
  • The shipping fee is only charged once for bulk orders.
  • We usually use YUN Express, SINGAPORE POST, RoyalMail, etc., to ship our items depending on your location.
  • We also offer expedited shipping in case you require that service. The cost will depend on what the item is. It is around $40-60 for watch straps, wallets, belts, etc. But it will be higher for larger-sized items, and we will discuss it further. 

Taxes, fees, and customs

  • Hicraftleather will pay for import fees on our end. However, we will only cover VAT for European countries, and you have to pay for the import fee that equal approximate 20% of the parcel’s declared value.
  • Our products are made from exotic leather, which may be subject to import regulations depending on the destination country.
  • Buyers are responsible for ensuring that the item can be legally imported into their country. Any customs duties, taxes, inspection fees, or import permits required by the destination country are the responsibility of the buyer.
  • Certain countries may require CITES documentation or may restrict the import of specific exotic leathers. If customs authorities request additional documentation or refuse entry of the item due to local regulations, we cannot be held responsible for delays, confiscation, or return of the shipment.

We recommend checking with your local customs office or sending us a direct message before placing an order if you are unsure about your country’s regulations regarding exotic leather goods.

Strap Length Guide

There are two sides per strap, which we refer to as the long end and the short end, which are represented by C and D respectively in the diagram below.

Our handcrafted leather straps come in 3 different lengths.

  1. Small (C: 115mm, D: 65mm)
  2. Medium (C: 125mm, D: 75mm)
  3. Large (C: 135mm, D: 85mm)

A quick way to decide on the length to get is based on your wrist size. Here is the general recommendation (if you are between sizes, we recommend to size up):

  • Wrist size of 14.5cm – 17.0cm: Small
  • Wrist size of 16.5cm – 19.0cm : Medium
  • Wrist size of 18.5cm – 21.0cm: Large

If you need a strap that is shorter than Small (115/65), or longer than Large (135/85), you can always have the strap custom made.

Hope this quick guide helps! Finding the perfect length to get can be a little bit more complicated, as it also depends on the lug-to-lug distance of your watch, and even the shape of your wrist. 

Find Your Lug Width

If you’re looking to purchase a strap for your watch, you will need to know the lug width of your watch. Lug width refers to “A” in this schematic below.

There are two ways to find out the lug width of your watch.

  1. Firstly, you can Google “<watch brand and model> lug width” and see if there is an answer from the brand’s website, or some other websites.
  2. Alternatively, you can simply take a ruler and measure the lug width directly on your watch.

Lug widths are typically in whole numbers, and while the most common lug widths are between 18-22mm, they can go down to 8mm or up to 32mm even. Our ready stock straps are available in 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, 22mm, 24mm and 26mm. If you need other lug widths, you can have it custom made.


You will then need to purchase a strap of the same lug width. For example, if your watch has a lug width of 20mm, you will need to purchase strap with a width of 20-16.


Note: Our Widths typically have two numbers, for example 20-16. The first number (20) refers to the lug width (“A” in the schematic above). The second number (16) refers to the buckle width (“B” in the schematic above). You just need to ensure that the first number matches the lug width of your watch.
