Note: It may take up to 48 hours for the tracking status to update in the system.

6. Lost or Stolen Packages
If tracking shows delivery but you cannot locate your parcel, check any nominated safe place and with household members or building staff, then contact support@auratidecollective.com promptly. We will investigate with the carrier and provide the remedy required by applicable law. A tracking status alone does not exclude your statutory rights. Prompt reporting helps the investigation and is not a blanket time limit on legal claims.
Cancellations and returns
We do not offer voluntary change-of-mind returns. Applicable statutory cancellation rights and remedies for damaged, faulty or incorrect goods remain available. Returns are handled in Shanghai, China. Where permitted by law and disclosed before purchase, customers pay change-of-mind return shipping; we bear necessary return costs for damaged, defective or incorrectly supplied goods. Contact support@auratidecollective.com for instructions. Dispatch does not remove an applicable statutory withdrawal right. See our Return & Refund Policy for notification, return costs, refund timing and exceptions.
