- Allow up to 24 hours for tracking to update after receiving your shipping email
- For order status questions, email info@pawcaro.com
5. Shipping Delays
Delivery estimates are not guaranteed. Delays may occur due to:
- Carrier volume (especially during holidays — Black Friday, Christmas)
- Weather events or natural disasters
- Customs processing (international orders)
- Incorrect shipping address provided at checkout
If your order is significantly delayed (more than 5 days past the estimate), contact us and we'll investigate.
6. Incorrect Address
Please double-check your shipping address at checkout. If you spot an error:
- Contact us immediately — if the order hasn't shipped, we'll update the address for free
- If already shipped, we're unable to redirect packages; you'll need to wait for the carrier to return it, then we'll reship (additional shipping fee applies)
- We are not responsible for packages delivered to an incorrectly provided address
7. Lost or Stolen Packages
- For packages marked "delivered" but not received, see our Refund Policy
- We are not responsible for packages stolen from your porch — consider using a secure delivery location or a parcel locker
- For high-value orders, we may require a signature on delivery
8. Shipping Restrictions
Certain products may have shipping restrictions due to size, weight, or local regulations (e.g., some pet food/supplements cannot be shipped internationally). Restricted items will be noted on the product page.
