6. Delivery

Delivery Timeframes

Delivery timeframes are estimates only and begin after your order has been processed and shipped. Delivery times do not include processing time.

We are not responsible for delays caused by:

• Shipping carrier delays
• Weather conditions
• Natural disasters
• Customs clearance (for international orders)
• Incorrect or incomplete shipping addresses
• Recipient unavailability
• Other circumstances beyond our control

Signature Requirements

[SPECIFY YOUR POLICY: "Some shipments may require a signature upon delivery. If no one is available to sign, the carrier will leave a notice with instructions for pickup or redelivery." OR "Signature is not required for most deliveries."]

7. Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Packages

Lost or Stolen Packages

We are not responsible for packages that are marked as "delivered" by the shipping carrier but that you claim you did not receive. Once a package is marked as delivered, title and risk of loss pass to you.

If your tracking information shows your package was delivered but you cannot locate it:

• Check with neighbors, household members, or building management
• Look around your delivery location (porches, garages, side doors)
• Contact the shipping carrier directly to file a claim
• Check if the package was left in a secure location or with a neighbor

We recommend filing a claim with the shipping carrier if you believe your package was lost or stolen.

Damaged Packages

If you receive a package that appears damaged:

• Inspect the contents immediately upon receipt
• Take photos of the damaged packaging and contents
• Contact us at (313) 307-3333 within 48 hours of delivery
• Provide your order number, photos, and a description of the damage

We will review damage claims on a case-by-case basis. Resolution is at our sole discretion.

Undeliverable Packages

If a package is returned to us as undeliverable due to an incorrect address, refused delivery, or unclaimed package, we will contact you to arrange reshipment. Additional shipping charges will apply for reshipment.

8. Order Cancellation and Modification

Once an order is placed, it enters our processing system immediately. We may not be able to cancel or modify your order once it has been submitted.

If you need to cancel or modify an order, contact us at (313) 307-3333 as soon as possible. We will do our best to accommodate your request, but we cannot guarantee cancellation once processing has begun.

9. Multiple Item Orders

Orders containing multiple items may be shipped in separate packages. You may receive multiple tracking numbers if your order is split into multiple shipments. There is no additional shipping charge for split shipments.

10. Shipping Carriers

We ship via [SPECIFY YOUR CARRIERS: "USPS, UPS, FedEx" or specific carriers]. We reserve the right to choose the shipping carrier based on destination, package size, and shipping method selected.

11. Holidays and Peak Seasons

During major holidays and peak shopping seasons, both processing and shipping times may be extended due to high order volume and carrier delays. We recommend placing orders well in advance during:

• Black Friday / Cyber Monday
• Christmas and New Year's holidays
• Other major shopping events

12. Shipping Delays

While we make every effort to ship orders promptly, delays may occur due to:

• Inventory shortages or stockouts

If there is a delay in processing or shipping your order, we will notify you as soon as possible.
