You may file a claim if enough time has been allowed for delivery to take place and it's past the expected delivery date, or if your order is stuck in a shipping state other than "Delivered".Claims are considered "lost" after 7 days without a tracking status update (20 days for international shipping) and must be filed no later than 30 days from the last update.

Please remember to include pictures of the item(s) and packaging. Claims for damaged item(s) can be filed right away.
