OCCASIONALLY, A PARCEL WILL BE MARKED AS DELIVERED BY THE SHIPPING COURIER PREMATURELY. IF YOU RECEIVED A DELIVERY NOTICE, ONLY TO FIND YOUR PARCEL IS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN, HERE IS SOME INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW:
SAYS DELIVERED, DOMESTIC
If you receive this notice but the package is not in your mailbox, in your apartment office, or on the doorstep, here are some things to know, organized by courier:
What to do is your order was shipped STANDARD SHIPPING (USPS):
- USPS delivery vans have GPS that sometimes automatically updates a shipment as "delivered" prematurely. Wait another business day because the package was most likely marked as delivered accidentally, and will arrive the following day
- Contact your local post office. Make sure to call or visit your LOCAL OFFICE, and NOT the USPS HOTLINE (this can take a lot of time, and they only tell you what the tracking already says). Ask them who delivered the parcel, and ask them details about that day's delivery. They are used to these types of questions, and can usually provide helpful information
- If the parcel does not show up (extremely rare occasion), please call the Post Office and file a claim. Angora Boutique cannot reimburse orders that were misdelivered by the post office or stolen from a property, thank you for understanding!

What to do if your order was shipped UPS

SAYS DELIVERED, INTERNATIONAL
Often times, an international parcel is marked as "delivered" when it arrives at a processing facility, or as soon as the order has been processed over to the new tracking system.
It's very common for there to be a lag in time from when the parcel is marked as "delivered" to when you are notified to pick up the parcel (this may vary with different couriers who have different COD options).
Things to do:
- Check your mailbox daily for a notice from your local post to go pick up your parcel
- Contact your local customs office and inquire about your delivery
Things NOT to do:
- Panic - we receive messages quite often from concerned customers who have received a "Delivery" notice, only to find their parcel is nowhere. Without fail, the package is usually delivered a few days later, or a notice from customs is found in the mailbox.
- Contact USPS - they are not able to inquire of parcels once they reach a different country
IF YOUR PARCEL WAS DELIVERED BY UPS:
- Allow an extra business day for your item to be delivered
- Contact UPS hotline International: 1-800-782-7892
If you have further concerns, we recommend reaching out to your local customs office, as they usually have more immediate answers regarding shipping than we do.
