My order hasn't arrived - what should I do?

If your order hasn't arrived within the estimated delivery window (typically 3-7 business days), don't worry. Here's what to do to locate your package or get a resolution.

Step 1: Check Your Tracking

First, verify the current status of your package:

Open your shipping confirmation email

Click the tracking link

Check the latest status and estimated delivery date

Common tracking statuses explained:

  • "In Transit" - Package is moving; may arrive in 1-2 days

  • "Out for Delivery" - Should arrive today

  • "Delivery Attempted" - Courier tried but couldn't deliver

  • "Delivered" - Package was delivered (check around your property)

Step 2: Check Common Delivery Locations

If tracking shows "Delivered" but you don't have your package:

  • Neighbors: The courier may have left it with a neighbor

  • Front door/porch: Check around your entrance

  • Mailroom/reception: If you live in an apartment building

  • Safe place: Check any designated safe places

  • Family members: Someone else may have collected it

Step 3: Wait a Little Longer

Standard delivery typically takes 3-7 business days from when your order ships, though this can vary. Consider:

  • Business days exclude weekends and public holidays

  • Peak seasons (holidays, Black Friday) may cause delays

  • Weather conditions can affect transit times

  • International customs can add 1-2 days

Step 4: Contact Support

If it's been more than 7 business days since shipping, or tracking shows no movement for 3+ days, contact us:

Please include:

  • Your order number (found in confirmation email)

  • Your shipping address

  • Any tracking updates you've seen

What Happens Next?

When you report a missing order, we will:

Investigate with DPD - We'll contact the carrier directly

Provide an update within 24-48 hours

Reship or refund if the package is confirmed lost

If your order is confirmed lost after investigation, we'll work with you to find the best resolution - whether that's a replacement or refund.

Preventing Future Issues
