We strive to ensure a smooth and efficient delivery process. Here’s what you need to know about how your items will be packaged and shipped:

1. Single vs. Multiple Packages

  • Single Package: Whenever possible, we aim to ship all items from your order in a single package to minimize shipping costs and reduce environmental impact.
  • Multiple Packages: Due to the nature of production, some orders may be shipped in multiple packages. This can occur if items are produced at different facilities or if they have different production times.

2. How to Know If Your Order Will Ship in Multiple Packages

  • Shipping Confirmation: You will receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking information once your order has been dispatched. If your order is split into multiple packages, you will receive separate tracking numbers for each package.
  • Order Details: In your order summary or account dashboard, you can also check if your items are expected to be shipped separately.

3. Tracking Your Packages

  • Tracking Information: Each package will have its own tracking number, which will be provided in your shipping confirmation email. You can use these tracking numbers to monitor the delivery status of each package.
  • Track Online: Visit the carrier’s website to track each package and get updates on their delivery progress.

4. Combined Shipping for Future Orders

  • Single Order Shipping: If you place multiple orders, they will be shipped separately. To keep things simple, try to place all items in a single order if you want them to arrive together.
