Domestic orders:
Delays in transit are usually an internal issue within the local post office-- this could be due to a number of factors including, not enough equipment to transport mail, road closures, understaffed facilities, and mistakes while sorting mail. Most of the time, these sort themselves out, only rarely do domestic packages get lost in transit. Please be patient if delivery is taking longer than expected.
If you purchased Route Package Protection, please file a claim here no sooner than 7 days after the last tracking update for United States domestic shipments and within 30 days from the last checkpoint.
If you did not purchase Route Package Protection and it’s been over 21 business days of inactivity, please contact us and we’ll see how best to proceed. If it has been more than 30 days since the last tracking update, we will not be able to refund your order.
International orders: International orders can be unpredictable and there is little we can do to expedite the shipping process. Delays in transit could be caused by customs clearances and unpaid duties. If your order has not moved in more than 7 days, pleasecontact usfor assistance.
