Timeline from order to delivery

After checkout, we collect and review your measurements. Custom production typically takes 1–2 weeks once measurements, and prescription details when applicable, are approved. Prescription orders usually need an extra 5–7 business days. Transit time then depends on your destination, the carrier service, and customs processing.

  • You receive carrier and tracking details by email when your order ships.
  • Address changes are possible until the carrier takes the package.
  • Plan around customs: allow extra time if you need your loupes by a fixed start date.

Getting the fit right from a distance

You do not need a local dealer or fitting appointment. You measure at home in your normal working posture, and we review the measurements before production starts. If anything looks off, we ask before we build.

Warranty and returns outside the US

The same terms apply wherever you live. Orders are fully refundable until custom production begins. After that, non-defective orders are not refundable, because each pair is made to your measurements. Manufacturing defects are covered by the two-year limited warranty from the delivery date.

  • Warranty details: Warranty.
  • Returns and authorization: Returns. We respond within one business day.

Why buying direct helps abroad

Some loupe brands sell through regional dealers and quote prices by country, so availability and cost can vary with where you live. HeliosX publishes one USD price list and ships direct, so you can see the price and configuration before you order, then add your country's import charges.

  • The same models and prices are available to every country we ship to.
  • Email support replaces the local dealer visit: heliosxloupes@gmail.com.
