UPS Tracking says my package was delivered but I never received it.

Once an order has left our facility, it is the responsibility of the shipping company. If you track a package, and the signature information says something like: “Back Door,” Front Door,” “Garage,” or something similar, it means that the package was left without obtaining a signature. Under their own rules and regulations, Federal Express and UPS delivery drivers must always obtain a signature, unless you have left permission to leave packages without a signature, either for this shipment, or for any shipment you received in the past.

If this has happened, there is nothing we can do for you, unless the shipping company is willing to assume responsibility and file a claim for a lost shipment. Fair warning: In most cases, they will only do this if they have no record of you ever leaving instructions to leave a package without a signature. If they agree to file a claim, it can take up to 60 days to settle.

If the shipping company is willing to pay a claim for a lost shipment, then we can replace or refund your order.

Once your order is delivered, with or without a signature, we are not responsible for replacing it, unless the shipping company is willing to reimburse us. Once again, this procedure can take up to 60 days to settle.

What is your privacy policy?

Your privacy is respected. We do not ever send you unsolicited emails – no spam (we don’t like it either). We never sell our customer list. Cookies are used just to make the shopping cart run but no other information is collected or viewed.
