• I am missing part of my order?

  Only received part of your order? We really don't want you to miss out on anything that you have ordered, so sometimes we fill orders from multiple warehouses which may result in separate deliveries. This is called a split order.

  Rest assured, in the case that your order is dispatched from more than one warehouse, you will, of course, receive corresponding tracking numbers.
