1. Order Processing Time

• Orders are typically processed within 1-5 business days (Monday-Friday, excluding statutory holidays) after payment confirmation and fraud verification.

  • Payment verification or fraud prevention measures
  • High order volumes (including seasonal periods)
  • Technical issues or system maintenance
  • Force majeure events or circumstances beyond our reasonable control
• No cancellations or modifications are guaranteed once an order enters processing. Contact us immediately if changes are needed, though we cannot guarantee accommodation.

5. International Shipping

• We are not responsible for orders shipped to:
  • Incorrect, incomplete, or outdated addresses
  • P.O. Boxes where carrier restrictions apply

---

7. Risk of Loss & Title Transfer

• All risk of loss and title for purchased items pass to the customer upon delivery to the shipping carrier.
• Once an order is marked as "shipped" and a tracking number is provided, the shipment is considered fulfilled by Wellness Body Worx.
• Any loss, theft, damage, or delay that occurs during transit or after delivery is the responsibility of the customer and/or the shipping carrier.

---

8. Lost, Stolen, or Missing Packages

• Wellness Body Worx is not responsible for lost, stolen, or missing packages once tracking shows the package as delivered.
• Customers must:
  • Check with household members, neighbors, or building management
  • Verify the delivery address and any safe drop locations
  • Contact the shipping carrier directly to file a lost package claim
• We may assist by providing order details, tracking information, or proof of shipment at our discretion, but we are under no obligation to issue refunds or replacements for carrier-related losses.
• Package theft (porch piracy) is not covered by Wellness Body Worx and must be reported to local authorities.

---

9. Delivery Delays

• Delivery delays do not entitle customers to refunds, returns, credits, or chargebacks.
• Carrier delays, including but not limited to weather events, high volume periods, or routing errors, are outside our control and do not constitute a breach of contract or failure to deliver.
• Customers who require delivery by a specific date should contact us in advance to discuss expedited options, though we cannot guarantee delivery by any specific date.

    • Order number
    • Photos of the damaged product(s)
    • Photos of all sides of the shipping box
    • Photos of internal packaging materials
• Failure to report damage within 48 hours voids eligibility for review.
• Any resolution—including replacement, partial refund, store credit, or referral to the product manufacturer—is determined at our sole discretion based on investigation and available evidence.
• Damage claims may be denied if:
  • Proper documentation is not provided
  • Evidence suggests misuse, mishandling after delivery, or customer-caused damage
  • The carrier's investigation determines no carrier fault

---

11. Refused, Unclaimed, or Returned-to-Sender Shipments

• Customers who refuse delivery or fail to claim packages (including those held at postal facilities) are not eligible for refunds.

  • All return shipping costs incurred
  • Any reshipment fees if reshipment is requested and approved
• Store credit, if issued, will be reduced by all applicable return shipping and restocking fees.

---

12. Tracking & Delivery Confirmation

• Tracking information will be provided via email once the order is shipped.
• Customers are responsible for monitoring tracking information and taking appropriate action if delivery issues arise.
• Delivery confirmation via carrier tracking is considered proof of delivery.
• Claims of non-delivery will not be honored if tracking shows the package was delivered to the address provided by the customer.

---

13. Signature Required Deliveries

• For high-value orders or at our discretion, we may require signature confirmation upon delivery.

• We are not responsible for delays caused by customer unavailability for signature-required deliveries.
