Delivery help FAQ
When should I contact the carrier?
Contact the carrier when its latest delivery estimate has passed, the tracking message asks you to act, or the parcel is marked damaged, lost, returned, or delivered but cannot be located.
Should I contact the sender first?
The sender usually owns the shipping contract and may need to open a trace, claim, replacement, or refund request.
How do I avoid tracking scams?
Open the official carrier website yourself and enter the tracking number there. Do not pay fees through an unexpected link until the request is independently verified.
