7. Delivery Delays:
While we strive to ensure timely delivery of all orders, there may be occasions where unforeseen circumstances lead to delays. Delivery delays can occur due to various factors beyond our control, including but not limited to:
Inclement Weather: Extreme weather conditions, such as storms, heavy snowfall, or flooding, may impact transportation and logistics, resulting in delays in the delivery of your order.
Carrier Issues: Occasionally, delays may occur due to issues within the shipping carrier's network, such as mechanical failures, route diversions, or staffing shortages.
Customs Clearance: International orders may experience delays during customs clearance processes, which are subject to the customs regulations and procedures of the destination country. Please note that we have no influence over this process.
Public Holidays: During public holidays or peak seasons, such as Christmas or Black Friday, there may be higher-than-usual order volumes and increased demand for delivery services, leading to potential delays.

Communication: We will promptly notify you via email or phone about any delays affecting your order. Our customer support team will provide regular updates on the status of your delivery and any developments regarding the delay.
