You may file a claim if enough time has been allowed for delivery to take place and it's past the expected delivery date, or if your order is stuck in a shipping state other than "Delivered".Claims are considered "lost" after 7 days without a tracking status update (20 days for international shipping) and must be filed no later than 30 days from the last update. Damaged order If your item arrives damaged, unusable, or otherwise in unacceptable conditions, we invite you to file a claim immediately. Please remember to include pictures of the item(s) and packaging. Claims for damaged item(s) can be filed right away. Damaged claims must be filed within 15 days from the date it was marked delivered. Stolen package Route considers packages marked "delivered" and not received as stolen.

How long does it take to process a claim?

Lost For lost orders, claims may be submitted as soon as the item is suspected to be lost.
