Actual delivery may vary depending on:

• Delivery destination

Estimated delivery dates are provided as guidelines and are not guaranteed.

Shipping Carriers

To provide dependable delivery service across the United States, Minitalot partners with trusted national shipping carriers.

Orders may be delivered using:

• USPS
• UPS
• FedEx

The shipping carrier is selected based on factors such as:

• Delivery destination
• Package size
• Shipping efficiency
• Carrier availability
• Operational logistics

Carrier selection is determined by our fulfillment team and cannot always be chosen during checkout.

Tracking Your Order

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive a shipping confirmation email.

This email typically includes:

• Shipping confirmation
• Tracking number
• Carrier information
• Estimated delivery progress

Customers may use the tracking number provided to monitor shipment status directly through the carrier's tracking system.

Please allow up to 24 hours after shipment for tracking information to become active.

If tracking has not updated after this period, this does not necessarily indicate that the shipment has been lost. Carrier systems occasionally require additional time to synchronize shipping information.

Multiple Item Orders

When multiple products are purchased in a single order, every effort is made to ship everything together.

However, depending on:

• Inventory availability
• Packaging requirements
• Warehouse logistics
• Carrier routing

some orders may arrive in multiple shipments.

If your order is divided into separate packages:

• No additional shipping fee will be charged.
• Each shipment may have its own tracking number.
• Separate shipping confirmation emails may be sent.

Delivery Address Accuracy

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address during checkout.

Please verify:

• Recipient name
• Street address
• Apartment or suite number
• City
• State
• ZIP Code
• Contact email

Minitalot cannot be responsible for shipping delays or failed deliveries caused by:

• Incorrect addresses
• Missing apartment numbers
• Invalid ZIP Codes
• Typographical errors
• Incomplete recipient information

If an order has not yet been processed, customers should contact our support team immediately to request an address correction.

Once an order has entered shipment with the carrier, address modifications may no longer be possible.

Delivery Attempts

Shipping carriers may make one or more delivery attempts depending on their own operating procedures.

If delivery cannot be completed, the carrier may:

• Leave the package in a secure location
• Deliver to a nearby pickup point
• Leave a delivery notice
• Return the package to the carrier facility
• Return the shipment to Minitalot

Customers should follow the carrier's delivery instructions when available.

Lost Packages

If your tracking information indicates that your package has been delivered but you cannot locate it, we recommend:

1. Checking around your property.
2. Asking family members or neighbors.
3. Checking with your apartment office or mailroom.
4. Reviewing the carrier's proof of delivery if available.
5. Waiting up to 24 hours, as some carriers mark packages delivered shortly before final drop-off.

If the package still cannot be located, please contact our customer support team so we can assist with investigating the shipment.

Delayed Deliveries

While we strive to meet all estimated delivery windows, delays may occasionally occur due to circumstances beyond our control.

Possible causes include:

• Severe weather
• Natural disasters
• Carrier network disruptions
• High seasonal shipping volume
• Transportation interruptions
• Public emergencies
• Government restrictions

In these situations, delivery times may be extended without prior notice.

We appreciate your patience and understanding whenever unexpected delays occur.

Undeliverable Packages

Packages may be returned to Minitalot when they cannot be delivered because of:

• Incorrect address
• Refused delivery
• Unclaimed shipment
• Failed delivery attempts
• Address deemed undeliverable by the carrier

If a package is returned, our support team will contact the customer whenever possible to discuss available options.

Additional shipping charges may apply if reshipment is requested due to customer-provided address errors.

Damaged Shipments

Every order is carefully inspected before leaving our fulfillment facility.

If your package arrives visibly damaged:

• Photograph the packaging before opening.
• Photograph the damaged item(s).
• Keep all original packaging materials.
• Contact our customer support team promptly.

Providing clear photographs helps us investigate the issue and determine an appropriate resolution.

Missing Items

If your package arrives but an item appears to be missing, please:

• Review your shipping confirmation.
• Check whether your order was shipped in multiple packages.
• Verify all packaging materials before discarding them.
• Contact customer support if an item is still missing.

Our team will investigate and work toward a timely resolution.

Order Changes and Cancellations

Because orders move quickly into processing, requests to modify or cancel an order should be submitted as soon as possible after purchase.

While we will make every reasonable effort to accommodate requests, changes cannot be guaranteed once fulfillment has begun or the shipment has been prepared for carrier pickup.
