My Package is Lost or StolenThere are 2 possibilities: 1) When you track your package, the carrier shows that the package has not been delivered. Sometimes they will find the package in their system and deliver it late. Sometimes the carrier will declare the package lost after a certain period. Sometimes the carrier will declare your package damaged or destroyed. The shipping charges you pay for packages valued over $100.00 include insurance for lost or damaged goods, so if your carrier does not show your package as delivered, or if your goods inside your package are damaged, we can help.
