If you have already submitted an inquiry and it has been more than 2 business days with no updates or package location, please contact your retailer for next steps and further assistance.

• Where can I enter delivery instructions to my order?

  If you have delivery instructions to add to your order, please use Wink, our Virtual Chat Assistant, to help create a ticket. Please note that you will need a valid tracking number.
