An order is considered “Lost” if it is not marked as “Delivered,” and if 8 days have passed since the last tracking status update.
Or if 3 days have passed since the last estimated delivery date provided by the carrier, and no delivery or update to status has been made.
A claim can be filed after 6 days and not later than 30 days.
What We Don’t Cover
We will not consider a package “lost” if a shipping carrier is unable to deliver a package due to an invalid or undeliverable address or if the customer refuses a delivery.
We will not consider a package “lost” if the customer entered the wrong address at the time of purchase.
We will not consider a package “lost” if it is marked “pre-shipment,” “label created,” or “shipment information received.”

We will not consider an item “damaged” if it shows any manufacturing defects or marks that we suspect may have occurred before shipment, for example, the box or packaging does not show signs of mishandling. Please contact the store for any manufacturing issues.
A claim can be filed within 30 days of the “marked delivery date.”
