Q1: Why is my tracking number invalid?
The package is in transit, and the carrier has not updated the information yet. Please wait 1–3 business days for the next sorting facility to scan and update the status.
Q2: Tracking shows "delivered" but I haven’t received the package?
Check your mailbox, front door, or with neighbors (they may have signed for it on your behalf).
Contact your local post office or the shipping carrier with the tracking number to confirm delivery details.
For international deliveries, some post offices require in-person collection. If you still cannot find the package, contact our customer service to submit a claim.
Q3: Why hasn’t the package status updated for several days?
For unshipped orders: No updates will be available until production and quality inspection are completed.

The carrier may have not updated the information yet. We recommend waiting a few more days or contacting the carrier directly.
