How does Amicasa store work?

At the Amicasa store, you can shop in two ways: OPTION 1: Direct Shipping Buy everything you want, and we’ll ship it the next business day. Just like in any online store, you add products to your cart, and before completing the purchase, you’ll be asked to enter your address to calculate the shipping cost. OPTION 2: Store at Amicasa The order you place in our store will be added to your Amicasa account. When you make a purchase, a package will be created in your account with your order information. Its status will be "pending" until our staff assembles your order. At that point, it will change to "received," and you’ll be able to request shipment along with other packages you have in our warehouse.
