We recognize that package theft appears to be on the rise, it is advisable to try to time your delivery to days when someone may be at home to receive the parcel. If your package is missing, and the carrier is showing as having delivered the parcel, contact the carrier first and the delivery person may be able to recall details about the delivery. Be advised, the carriers require a police report if you intend to file a claim and are suspecting package theft. Please do so, as that may assist with reimbursement. We insure our packages with the carriers in order to safeguard delivery, but please be vigilant.
*Note: We do our best to pack your items securely. If you feel our packing was inadequate and resulted in damage to your items, please photo document the packaging and the product and email us so that we can assess the claim for reimbursement or replacement as soon as possible.
