Courier delays, strikes, or route disruptions

Weather-related delays or natural disasters

Regional lockdowns or government restrictions

Incorrect address or unreachable phone number
We are not liable for delays caused by these factors, but we'll always help you track your order and coordinate with the courier where possible.
