1. Delivery Area
We currently ship to addresses within the United States only.
Orders placed for delivery outside the United States cannot be accepted at this time.
2. Delivery Address
Your order will be shipped to the delivery address entered during checkout.
Please review your address carefully before submitting your order. You are responsible for ensuring that all shipping information is accurate, complete, and up to date.
Incorrect or incomplete information may cause:
- Processing or delivery delays
- Failed delivery attempts
- Packages being returned to the sender
- Additional redelivery charges
Please contact our customer service team as soon as possible if you notice an error in your delivery address.
We cannot guarantee that an address can be changed after an order has entered processing or has already been dispatched.
3. Order Processing
Orders are generally processed within 0–2 business days, Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays.
Orders are not normally processed on Saturdays, Sundays, or public holidays.
Once your order has been processed and prepared for shipment, you will receive a shipping confirmation email.
4. Order Cut-Off Time
Our daily order cut-off time is 12:00 PM Eastern Time, including EST and EDT.
Orders placed before the cut-off time on a business day may begin processing that same business day.
Orders placed after 12:00 PM Eastern Time will begin processing on the next business day.
Orders placed on weekends or public holidays will begin processing on the following business day.

6. Total Estimated Delivery Time

You may use the tracking link included in the email to monitor the progress of your delivery.
Please allow 3–5 business days for tracking information to become active after your package has left the warehouse or fulfilment centre.
Tracking updates are provided by the shipping carrier. In some cases, the tracking status may not update at every stage of the delivery journey.

- Natural disasters
- Public holidays
- Seasonal demand
- High order volumes

A delayed delivery does not automatically mean that a package has been lost.
Please allow the full estimated delivery period to pass before contacting our customer service team.
11. Incorrect or Incomplete Address
Customers are responsible for providing a correct and complete delivery address during checkout.
If an order cannot be delivered because the address provided was incorrect, incomplete, outdated, or undeliverable:
- The package may be returned to the sender
- Delivery may be delayed
- We may contact you to confirm the correct address
- A new shipping or redelivery charge may apply
- A replacement or refund may not be issued until the package has been returned and inspected
We are not responsible for packages delivered to an incorrect address provided by the customer.
Please contact us immediately if you notice an address error. We will make reasonable efforts to update the address, but changes cannot be guaranteed once processing has started.
12. Failed Delivery Attempts
The shipping carrier may make one or more delivery attempts depending on its policies.
If a delivery attempt is unsuccessful, the carrier may:
- Leave the package in a secure location
- Leave delivery instructions
- Transfer the package to a local collection point
- Schedule another delivery attempt
- Return the package to the sender
Customers are responsible for following any instructions provided by the carrier.
If a package is returned because it was not collected or because delivery attempts were unsuccessful, additional shipping charges may apply before the order can be sent again.
13. Delivery Confirmation
Once the shipping carrier marks a package as delivered, the delivery is considered complete.
If your tracking information shows that your package was delivered but you cannot locate it, please:
- Check around the delivery location
- Ask other members of your household
- Check with neighbours or building management
- Review any delivery photograph or carrier note
- Contact the shipping carrier directly
If the package still cannot be found, please contact our customer service team. We will make reasonable efforts to assist with the carrier investigation.
A carrier investigation does not guarantee that a refund or replacement will be approved.
14. Lost Packages
A package will not be considered lost until the carrier confirms that it cannot be located or until a reasonable period has passed without a tracking update.
If you believe your package has been lost, please contact us with:
- Your full name
- Your order number
- Your delivery address
- Your tracking number
- A description of the issue
We may need to open an investigation with the shipping carrier before offering a replacement, refund, or other resolution.
Please allow sufficient time for the carrier to complete its investigation.
15. Damaged Packages
If your package arrives visibly damaged, please contact us as soon as possible.
Please provide:
- Your order number
- Photographs of the external packaging
- Photographs of the damaged product
- Photographs of the shipping label

Please keep the product and all original packaging until the claim has been reviewed.

If an item is missing, incorrect, or different from what you ordered, contact our customer service team as soon as possible.
Please include:

18. Order Cancellations
Orders may only be cancelled before they enter processing or are dispatched.
Because orders may be processed quickly, we cannot guarantee that cancellation requests can be completed.
Once an order has been dispatched, it cannot be cancelled. You may need to wait for the order to arrive and follow the return process described in our Refund Policy.
19. Changes to This Shipping Policy
We may update this Shipping Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our shipping services, delivery partners, legal obligations, or business operations.
