From The Belly Of The Cat
Selling Fast!
Writers and cats have long enjoyed a special affinity, unsurprisingly since both spend much time sitting around and judging people. Discover the Lion City through the eyes of its cats and their humans in From the Belly of the Cat, an anthology of fifteen feline tales by some of the city-state’s most exciting writers and notorious cat sympathisers. For best results, read this book at home on the sofa on a rainy afternoon, with a cup of warm tea within reach, and a cat by your side.

5. The products that you carry can be quite pricey. Why is that so?
Most products in our store are not produced in large quantities. Moreover, some of the items are handmade, hence the retail prices reflect the material and man-hour costs.
6. Do you guys have any promotions at the moment?
Yes. You can find out more about all our promotions at our Promotions page.
Online Shopping
1. When am I charged?
You will only be charged upon completion of check out, so be sure to double-check your purchases before you confirm.
2. The item I want is sold out! Is there any way for you to bring it in again?
Just drop us an email to wecare@naiise.com and we'll see what we can do for you. Some of our products may be limited in quantity, or may not be in production anymore. We will, however, try our best to help you out.
3. Where do you ship to?
We ship both overseas and locally. Within Singapore, we offer free shipping on orders above $60, and also free self-collection services. For overseas orders, we work with our partner FedEx to safely deliver your orders to your doorstep for anywhere else outside of Singapore. Check out our shipping policy for more information.
4. What payment types do you accept?
For all online payments, We currently accept any credit cards, such as Visa, Mastercard and Paypal. We accept payment via Paypal and Mastercard Payment Gateway, as they are the official payment gateways for our online store.
5. Are you able to send food products out of Singapore?
Sadly, we are not able to do so as it will be rejected at the customs due to the rules and regulations for food shipment at our local post office.
6. What should I expect after I placed my order?
Your order should typically reach you within 1-2 weeks (for local shipping), and 4-8 weeks (for overseas shipping) if all the items in your order are in-stock.
However, some products have to be made to order, or ordered from our overseas suppliers thus shipping times vary by products. If your order consists of any pre-ordered items, please refer to the Estimated Arrival Time indicated on the product page for the estimated timeline. Once all the items in your order have arrived, your order will be dispatched from our warehouse.
Feel free to check in with us anytime via our email wecare@naiise.com with regards to the status of your order.
7. How do I go about collecting my order if I have selected self-collection as my preferred mode of shipment?
Once your order has reached the store, we will drop you a sms to inform you of the self-collection details. After which, you would be able to head down to your selected store for self-collection. If your order consists of any food products, we recommend you to pick up your order as soon as possible, as they do not contain preservatives and are best consumed fresh!
8. If I am not able to self-collect my order, am I able to get someone else to collect on my behalf?
Yes, you can. It will be best if you can inform our Customer Service team about this earlier, so that we can keep our retail staff in the loop about this. If not, you can simply show our retail staff the order confirmation email, and/or quote your order number in order for us to facilitate this.

Yes, we are able to. Please drop us an email at wecare@naiise.com and inform us of your available dates. We will be able to advise further if it is possible, especially if your order contains perishables and/or plants.
10. If I find the item that I have ordered online at your store, am I able to pick it up from there instead?
It is best advised not to, as the items you see at the store might be display pieces, unless otherwise arranged with our Customer Service team in advance via email. That way, we would be able to arrange it earlier to ensure lesser waiting in clarifying your order status from the headquarters to the store you are at.
11. If I have purchased something that doesn’t fit me, am I able to do an exchange? How should I go about it?
You can find out more on how to do so here.

Local & International Shipping/Self-collection
1. Who is delivering my order to me?
We have engaged a third-party courier service who helps us with all local deliveries.
2. Is there a way to track my order after it has been sent out?
For local shipment, our third-party courier, UrbanFox, will contact you directly regarding delivery timing. You can also track the progress of the delivery at https://www.urbanfox.asia/courier-tracking/tracking/ with the tracking code: NS[Your Order Number] (for example: NS123456). Alternatively, you can also email us at wecare@naiise.com and we will be able to help you out with that.
For international shipment, we will send you the tracking code once we have dispatched your order from our warehouse to our local post office. You can then track your order from there with the website stated in our email.
3. Is it possible for you to send the items to my office?
Yes, we are able to. However, do indicate the opening hours of your office, and we will try our best to work around those timings with our third-party courier.
4. Will it be faster if I opt for self-collect at your store, as compared to delivery, for my order?
After your order is complete, it takes about 1-2 working days for the order to be sent to the store, while delivery takes about 1-3 working days for our third-party courier to send it to you. The difference is not vast here so it solely depends on what is best for you.
5. If I make an order now and wish to get my order tomorrow, is that possible?
Unfortunately, it is not possible. Some of the items are not readily available, as they either need to be shipped in to our warehouse or they need to be made from scratch. As such, do refer to the Estimated Arrival timeframe under the Shipping Information at the various product pages.
Do check out our Express Shipping collection of in-stock products. Do indicate in the cart note before check out if you need your order urgently, or contact us at wecare@naiise.com. Please refer to our Shipping page for more information.
5. What should I expect if I have selected self-collection for my order?
Once your order has reached the store, we will drop you a text message to inform you of the self-collection details. After which, you would be able to head down to your selected store for self-collection. If your order consists of any food products, we recommend you to pick up your order as soon as possible, as they do not contain preservatives and are best consumed fresh!
You will receive a total of 3 text messages - one informing you that your order has reached the store, and two more weekly reminders if you still haven't had time to pick it up. If the order still has not been collected a week after the third text message, it will be diverted back to our warehouse and you can either self-collect from our warehouse or opt for a re-delivery to your preferred address for $15.
6. Why is my item taking so long to arrive?
The estimated shipping time for orders within Singapore is 7-14 working days, while that for orders outside of Singapore is 4-6 working weeks. Some products may take a longer time to arrive as they are made-to-order, an arrangement we allow to help designers keep their inventory risk low. For pre-ordered items, the Estimated Arrival Time for each product is indicated on its product page as well as in your order confirmation email.
We may take a little more time to prepare some products for you and may even ship our your order in separate shipments so that you can receive part of your order first. We seek your kind understanding and patience on this as we try to help our emerging designers to grow and be ready to invest in producing more stocks.
7. I’m an international customer and I’ve been waiting too long for my products to reach me. Can I cancel the order?
Once the order has been shipped, we will not be able to cancel the order and refund you. Should you have any queries on that, please email us at wecare@naiise.com.
7. What happens to my order if I don't pick it up my order after you've contacted me for the 3rd time?
Typically, we will send back the orders that have not been paid to our warehouse and we will cancel the order if a delay in pick-up from our customer's is being communicated with us.
As for orders that have been paid, we will keep the order in store, unless the order includes expiring/expired food products or other perishables.
