You will receive a shipping confirmation email with an assigned tracking number once your order is shipped. It can take up to 48 hours for the tracking number to show activity.
Shipping delays can occur for various reasons, and the specific cause can depend on the circumstances and logistics involved. Here are some common reasons for shipping delays:
-
High Shipping Volume:
During peak seasons, such as holidays or major sales events, shipping carriers may experience a significant increase in the volume of packages, leading to delays in processing and delivery. -
Adverse Weather Conditions:
Severe weather conditions, such as storms, hurricanes, heavy snowfall, or other natural disasters, can disrupt transportation networks and cause delays in shipping. -
Customs Clearance:
International shipments are subject to customs clearance, which can take time. The inspection and processing of packages by customs authorities contribute to delays in the overall shipping process. -
Transportation Issues:
Disruptions in transportation, such as accidents, strikes, or logistical challenges, can affect the movement of packages and lead to delays. -
Carrier Overload:
If a shipping carrier's capacity is overwhelmed, it may struggle to handle the volume of packages efficiently, resulting in delays. -
Address Issues:
Incorrect or incomplete shipping addresses can lead to delays, as carriers may need to seek clarification or make corrections before delivering the package. -
Failed Delivery Attempts:
If there are multiple unsuccessful delivery attempts due to the recipient not being available, the package may be delayed as the carrier rearranges delivery or returns the package to the depot. -
Public Holidays:
Holidays in both the origin and destination countries can disrupt normal shipping operations, contributing to delays. -
Supply Chain Disruptions:
Issues within the supply chain, such as disruptions in manufacturing or distribution, can impact the availability of products for shipping. -
Security Checks:
Packages may undergo additional security checks, especially in regions with heightened security measures, which can result in delays. -
Pandemic-related Challenges:
Events such as the COVID-19 pandemic have introduced additional challenges, including increased demand for shipping services, staff shortages, and health and safety protocols, all of which can contribute to delays.
