Please EMAIL us for tracking information if you cannot find your email confirmation from the USPS or Fed Ex, do not call customer service. It would be helpful if you give your package a few days for delivery before you ask its status because this only slows down our processing to take time to look it up. Look in your BULK or SPAM email folder if you expected an email from us and didn't get it. Thanks for being patient and understanding!
