Hello! Sorry for bothering you! But Ive found this very cute site, and Id love to get myself a cute Wyrm sometime (I dont have any), but before I get my hopes up and start waiting... Im located in far lame Russia. And I couldnt find any info, so I have to ask... is delivery to Russia even possible? Or is it USA only? Sorry if I overlooked, but I dont seem to find any pages dedicated to delivery...
Thank you for your time reading this!

I'm sure it could be managed. Shipping is paid for when you pay for your baby wyrm (or I suppose if you adopt one from a clutch). It'd cost more since you're outside the US (mine was 31 total for my bred baby teacup, 25 for the breeding + the rest for shipping safely) but I don't see it as impossible.

PS: Sorry to Hopeful or Arazia if I'm wrong. Feel free to correct me.

HopefulMonsterStudios often does shipping overseas. It shouldn't be a problem at all, although it will be more expensive than it would be otherwise, and it might take a bit longer to get to you due to customs. As far as I am aware, toys/dolls like this aren't illegal in any country, so they shouldn't be an issue, but you may want to check your individual customs laws/regulations regarding such things and make sure that there isn't anything that could cause problems. We'll certainly try to ship to foreign countries, but I don't think we've got anyone who's an expert on every country's import laws.

Ah, glad to hear! :D I dont think customs would be a problem, Ive ordered toys and action figures before, and express delivery from LA did make it in 3 days to me - so I dont think customs are too harsh in Russia.
Im in a happy stalker mode now then, gonna wait for babies to appear for sale. ^_^
Thank you!

Um actually Italy's got some pretty harsh restrictions which I think would probably make these a no go. No hair, no toys not made wholly of wood and no furs. (I'm pretty sure that the three of those combined also rules out synthetics)

Vietnam also doesn't allow pretty much anything (including children's toys) without a permit so there are some strange ones out there!
I don't remember the third one but there's another one that has "wut? Image" restrictions on it.

Right.
This is the reason why I say that we are no experts on international shipping laws.
Now, most of the rules there seem to refer to animal skins/hair, which are not used to make Wyrms.
In doing some research, I have found that it is relatively rare for a something to get confiscated/returned due to the: 'Toys not made wholly of wood' restriction.
It would kind of be an 'at your own risk' sort of thing.

It is really up to the individual purchaser to be aware of what the restrictions are for their own country.
We just really don't have the ability or the time to make ourselves experts on the shipping laws of every possible country.
