My package has been lost/stolen . What should I do?

Please make sure to submit the correct address. We are not responsible for packages that are lost/stolen. Once your package leaves our premises we are not responsible for them as USPS  is a shipping service that you agree to allow us to send for you. Once we send the liability is between you and USPS ; however, we will do our best to help you find your package since each order comes with a tracking number. In the case where the tracking says delivered but you haven't received your package, you can visit your local post office or contact USPS  to file a claim. 

We will not look into stolen/lost packages claims if they are not reported within 3 days of the tracking number stating the package has been delivered.

In 2021 many states across the nation passed laws requiring online retailers to collect sales tax. We are expected to comply with these laws and collect the appropriate tax for each state the order is purchased from even if we do not have a physical storefront in that state.
