Pre-Delivery Inspection

Before accepting delivery of your order, please take a moment to inspect it. If you notice any damage/issues, you have the option to refuse delivery. Please contact us immediately in such cases.

Post-Delivery Inspection

Once you have accepted delivery, you have a period of up to 3 business days to contact us regarding any damage, incorrect orders, or missing items. To assist us in resolving the issue, you need to provide evidence (e.g., photo/video) to demonstrate the order’s issue or problem.

Investigation and Resolution

In the event of incorrect or missing items from your order, we will conduct a thorough internal investigation. This process includes reviewing our warehouse records and initiating a dispute with the delivery courier. Please allow up to 5-10 working days for this investigation to conclude before we can dispatch replacement items.
