Once your order has shipped you will receive an email notifying you your order/part of your order has shipped. This email will contain your tracking number and a hyperlink to track your order. Please select “track your order” for all carrier and shipping updates.

We assign a tracking number to your package when it is ready to be shipped. Once your package has arrived at the carrier’s sorting facility your tracking details will be updated. This may take up to 7 days from the time your order leaves our facility. Please continue to track your order through the carrier’s website provided in your shipping confirmation email.

We will always do our best to send items in one shipment. However, your order may arrive in multiple shipments, depending on where your items are located in our fulfillment network.

During this time, carriers will not be requesting signatures for deliveries at the door. Carriers will leave your order in your mailbox or by the door if it is safe to do so. When this is not possible, a notice card may be left at the address indicating the post office where you can pick up your order, or the carrier may attempt to redeliver your order. If your order is showing as delivered and you have not received it, please contact the Customer Care team within 30 days of your delivery status.

There are a few reasons why your order may be returned to sender:

  • The carrier is not able to confirm your shipping details
  • The carrier was unsuccessful in their delivery attempt(s)
  • Your package was not picked up from the post office within 15 days of delivery

Once your item has been successfully returned to sender and your return has been processed, you will receive an email confirmation and a refund to your original form(s) of payment.
