- Tracking starts after production: Carrier tracking appears only after the finished sword ships.
- Clear communication: Use site message or support@nimofan.com, and keep the order discussion in one main channel.
- Design changes: Contact us as early as possible, ideally within the first week, because the blade is usually made first.
