Frequently Asked Questions
BOOK BOX FAQ
What if my tracking number still says "preparing shipment" or "moving through network"?
- If your tracking status is still in pre-shipment, please wait 7 days before contacting us. Boxes are being delivered without any updates made to tracking until they are out for delivery.
- If after 7 days you have not received a tracking update, please contact us at admin@bookbarapothecary.com.
What if I didn’t receive my order?
- Contact your local post office or mail carrier: Sometimes, drivers mistakenly scan packages as delivered before the actual delivery. Reach out to your local post office or the mail carrier to inquire about the status of your package.
- Wait for a week after the shipment date: Occasionally, there might be slight delays in the delivery process. Please allow up to a week after the shipment date to see if the package arrives.
- Get in touch with Customer Service: If your package hasn't arrived after a week from the shipment date, please inform our Customer Service team by sending an email to admin@bookbarapothecary.com.
* Please note that we do not offer refunds for lost packages.
