What should I do if my order is approved but hasn't been shipped yet?

Can I take the shipment after opening and checking the contents inside?

As per company policy, a shipment can’t be opened before delivery, but you can accept the shipment and get in touch with us later in case you have any concerns.

Why was my package not delivered?

  1. Sometimes, a package cannot be delivered due to one of the following reasons:Incorrect Address: If the address is incorrect or outdated, the package is usually returned to the seller by the courier service provider or the unintended recipient. Please double-check your address carefully when placing a new order.
    To remove an outdated or incorrect address from your account, go to My Account > My Addresses. Click on the 3-dot button beside the address you want to modify and select ‘Edit’ and then Choose ‘Save Changes’.
  2. Other Address Problems: In rare cases, it is also possible that the address label was difficult to decipher during the shipping and handling process, or that the courier service left the package at a different address than what was printed on the label.
  3. Failed Delivery Attempts: Most of the seller’s partnered courier service providers make more than one attempt to deliver a package. If nobody is available to accept the delivery after multiple attempts, the package is returned to the seller.
  4. Damaged During Transit: If a package is damaged on its way to you, the courier service provider will return it to the seller without attempting delivery.
  5. Note: A package once returned to the seller cannot be delivered again by the courier service provider. Please place a new order on our website or app if you would still like to purchase the item.

The delivery of my order is delayed. What should I do?

Will the delivery be tried again if I'm not able to collect my order the first time?

Couriers make sure that the delivery is re-attempted the next working day if you can’t collect your order the first time.

I missed the delivery of my order today. What should I do?
