3. Are your products made-to-order?
Yes. Most of our products are made-to-order. This means your item is produced after you place your order, allowing us to offer a wide variety of original designs while maintaining quality.
Orders & Payment
4. How long does it take to process my order?
Order processing (production and preparation) typically takes 3–7 business days after your payment is confirmed.
5. Can I cancel or change my order?
Because most items are made-to-order, we can only cancel or modify an order if production has not yet started. Please contact us as soon as possible at support@otakuio.com if you need to make changes.

Currently we do not offer gift wrapping. You may leave a note at checkout and we will do our best to include it with your order when possible.
