If you are unable to resolve the problem with the courier company please contact us immediately and we will be happy to follow up for you, to review the status of your order.
It's Delivered But Can't Find It
Most drivers leave it somewhere out of sight, some will leave a note in your mailbox to collect at your local post shop because you were not there to collect it or there was no safe place to put your package.
Keep in mind if you didn't choose signature required which is ATL (Authority To Leave), that gives the driver permission to leave your parcel if you're not home. Once it's been delivered, they've done their job, and both the courier and Botanical Charm are not liable for parcels that are stolen, damaged or lost after delivery.
Track and trace have driver's GPS location to make sure they were at the right address. If you let us know right away the driver will likely remember where it was left. Please don't wait to contact me or the courier company! If I can get the driver's location, and it was delivered to the wrong address, it is the courier's responsibility to uplift and redeliver.
Unless you know someone will be at the address during normal working hours, please always choose signature required for peace of mine. As a small business we are limited stock items that may not be able to be replaced, also high value, and limited edition.
