Fulfillment and Delivery Expectations

Processing and delivery estimates are provided for planning purposes and are not guaranteed delivery appointments. Actual timing depends on product availability, preparation requirements, destination, carrier capacity, customs review, weather, regional restrictions, and other conditions outside our direct control.

Stocked Products

Stocked items are generally prepared promptly. The delivery estimate shown at checkout or in your order details is the most relevant estimate for your shipment. Standard shipping is intended to be economical and is not an express service.

Special Categories

Customized, personalized, handmade, made-to-order, pre-order, backordered, rare-find, imported, oversized, bulky, bulk, and wholesale items may require additional sourcing, production, preparation, or freight coordination.

Order-specific information takes priority. Product-page notices, checkout estimates, invoices, written quotations, and direct communications about a specific order override general estimates in this guide.

Multiple Parcels and Split Shipments

Products from the same order may be fulfilled from different locations or through different carriers. This can result in separate tracking numbers, different dispatch dates, and deliveries arriving on different days.

A partial delivery does not automatically mean that an item is missing. Review all tracking numbers and shipment notices associated with the order before reporting an incomplete delivery.

Understanding Tracking Updates

Tracking information is generated when a carrier or processing facility scans a parcel. The frequency and detail of updates vary by carrier, route, destination, and shipping service.

  • Label Created / Information Received
    The carrier has received the shipment details and created a delivery record, but the parcel may not yet show a physical scan. For international orders, the destination or last-mile carrier may create this record before the parcel reaches the destination country. The status can therefore remain unchanged even while the shipment is moving through the international network.
  • First-Mile / Last-Mile Tracking
    International shipments may be handled by one logistics provider during the first-mile and international journey, then transferred to a different local carrier for final delivery. The first-mile and last-mile tracking numbers or update schedules may differ. Last-mile tracking may not update until the parcel reaches the destination country, completes customs or duty clearance, or is physically transferred to the local carrier. Monitor all tracking references closely. If you will not be available for delivery, contact the local carrier promptly to arrange redelivery, an alternative delivery date, or collection from an authorized pickup point.
  • In Transit / On Its Way
    The parcel is moving through the carrier network. Updates may pause while it travels between facilities, crosses borders, or waits for the next scan.
  • Customs Clearance
    The parcel is under review by the applicable customs authority. The recipient may be asked for identification, documentation, duties, taxes, or other import information.
  • Arrived at Local Facility
    The parcel has reached a local postal facility, carrier depot, or final-mile delivery hub and is being prepared for local delivery or pickup.
  • Out for Delivery
    The parcel has been assigned to a local delivery route. Delivery is generally expected that day, although carrier route changes may occasionally cause a delay.
  • Delivery Exception / Pickup Required
    Delivery could not be completed or the parcel is waiting for collection. Review the carrier notice and act promptly before the holding period expires.
A temporary pause in tracking does not automatically mean that a parcel is lost. Continued or unusually long inactivity should be reported through our official contact form or website live chat.

Order Changes and Address Corrections

Orders may enter processing shortly after they are placed. Requests to cancel an order, correct the delivery address, or change a product, variant, size, colour, or quantity must be submitted through our official contact form or website live chat within 60 minutes of placing the order.

Requests to upgrade the shipping method must be submitted within 90 minutes of placing the order. An upgrade remains subject to order status, carrier availability, approval, and payment of any additional shipping charge.

A timely request is not a guarantee that a change can be completed. The practical intervention window may be shorter when processing, sourcing, allocation, customization, production, or fulfillment has already begun. After the applicable deadline, changes may be unavailable even if the parcel has not yet shipped.

Automated order-confirmation and shipping-notification inboxes are not monitored for customer-service requests. Replies do not pause order processing or preserve an applicable deadline.

Delivery Address and Recipient Responsibilities

Customers are responsible for supplying a complete and accurate recipient name, street address, unit number, postal code, telephone number, email address, access instructions, and any other information reasonably required for delivery.

  • Monitor tracking and delivery notices.
  • Respond promptly to carrier or customs requests.
  • Arrange redelivery or collection when required.
  • Ensure the delivery location is accessible and secure.
  • Provide a physical address when a carrier cannot serve a P.O. Box, parcel locker, APO/FPO address, or restricted-access location.

Costs arising from an incorrect or incomplete address, refused delivery, missed collection, unclaimed parcel, storage, redelivery, return transportation, re-importation, brokerage, or carrier disposal may be nonrecoverable and may be deducted from any amount otherwise eligible for refund.

Duties, Taxes, and Customs

Duties Prepaid

Where an order is expressly identified as duties prepaid or Delivered Duty Paid, included import charges are handled in advance. Customs authorities may still require recipient identification or supporting documentation.

Duties Unpaid

Freight, oversized, bulk, wholesale, or destination-specific shipments may be sent with duties and taxes unpaid. The recipient is then responsible for clearance, duties, taxes, brokerage, storage, handling, and other local charges.

The treatment of duties and taxes depends on the destination, product, carrier, and shipping arrangement. Checkout, invoice, product-page, quotation, or order-specific written information takes priority over this general guide.

Regional and Carrier Delays

Carrier networks may be affected by severe weather, customs backlogs, labour disruptions, regional conflict, transportation restrictions, port congestion, seasonal demand, remote delivery routes, or other events outside our control.

These conditions may extend processing, transit, customs, or final-mile delivery time. Current carrier estimates remain estimates and may change while a shipment is in transit.

For current network notices, review our Service Status Page.

Damaged, Incorrect, Defective, or Incomplete Deliveries

Inspect the order promptly after delivery. Transit damage, a materially defective item, an incorrect item, or missing essential components must be reported through our official contact form or website live chat within 24 hours of the carrier’s documented delivery scan.

Keep the shipping carton, product packaging, labels, protective materials, and all included components. Clear photographs and, where available, an unboxing video may be required to assess the issue and support a carrier, supplier, or insurance claim.

Do not discard packaging or send an item back before receiving written instructions. Unauthorised returns may be refused or may delay assessment.

Delivered but Not Located

When tracking shows “delivered” but the parcel cannot be located, first check the delivery area, building entrance, parcel locker, concierge, household members, neighbours, safe-drop locations, and any carrier delivery photograph or notice.

Contact the carrier promptly and then notify us through the official support channel so the available shipment information can be reviewed. Investigation availability and timing depend on the carrier, service, destination, and date of delivery.

Refused, Unclaimed, and Returned Parcels

Refusing delivery, ignoring carrier or customs requests, failing to collect a parcel, or providing an undeliverable address may result in storage, redelivery, return shipping, re-importation, brokerage, destruction, or other nonrecoverable costs.

Where a refund is otherwise available, actual documented or reasonably allocated nonrecoverable costs may be deducted. If a parcel is destroyed, discarded, abandoned, or permanently retained by a carrier or customs authority, a refund may not be available.

Returns and Exchanges

Sending an item back without written authorization does not create an approved return. Eligibility, request deadlines, exclusions, return conditions, authorization requirements, shipping responsibilities, and applicable deductions are governed by our published Returns & Exchanges Framework.
