Shipping Protection Policy
• Shipping Protection offers protection against loss, damaged, and theft. If your package isn't delivered safely, you are able to get a replacement.
• Shipping Protection commences upon the package's shipment and concludes either upon its delivery into your possession or, in the event of a service request, upon the resolution of the issue.
Please note that if a shipping label has been generated but has not yet been scanned by the shipping carrier, the protection has not yet become active.
• If you need to submit a request, please use our help center and submit a Shipping Protection requesest. Our hours of operation are 7am - 5pm PST, Monday - Friday.
• Damage Product requests can be submitted as soon as it is delivered
• Lost or Stolen packages requests can be submitted 5 days after your estimated delivery date. Example: "In Transit" status and the last update was 5 days ago
