We are so sorry you are experiencing this and understand how frustrating this can be! We have found the fastest and easiest way to get to the bottom of a shipping issue is to contact the shipping company directly as they can provide more detailed information regarding the whereabouts of your package. It is possible the shipping company has accidentally marked the package as delivered or they may be trying to contact you to finalize the delivery. Additionally, if your package is being delivered via USPS you can call 1-800-ASKUSPS to have them geolocate your package.
disclaimer:
We cannot be held responsible for lost and stolen packages as this is in control of the mail carrier, and will not refund or replace your order. If your package has been lost or stolen, please contact the carrier to file a claim. Unfortunately, we cannot file a claim on your behalf because they require personal information we do not have access to for your safety. We highly recommend purchasing Route Package Protection to protect your order from loss, theft, or damage. If you have purchased Route package protection, you can file a claim with them directly to resolve any issues.
