SlumberPod Shipping FAQs

We wish delivery times could be guaranteed; however, with shipping being so unpredictable at the moment, it's not an option our carriers can provide. You may also experience some unfortunate situations outside of standard shipping delays, such as a package being lost, stolen, or damaged. When this happens, most customers will reach out directly to us first; however, when packages leave our warehouse, they are in the carrier's hands, and the order is no longer in our control. 

We recognized that not all customers want to “roll the dice” with orders and count on the carriers to deliver safely, so we offer Route package protection. Route can easily be added to your order on the checkout page, or you can opt not to use it. Route offers you "peace of mind" because it fully protects your package if it is lost, damaged, or stolen.

Whether you purchase package protection or opt-out, we are sharing popular shipping scenarios and all the necessary steps you should take if you, unfortunately, experience one of these scenarios. So grab your reheated coffee or tea and read on.

ISSUE : MISSING: Tracking says delivered but never received

Step 1: Call the shipping carrier 

The faster you reach out to the shipping carrier, the better the chances are that your package will be recovered.

Step 2: Check with Neighbors or the Front Desk/Office 

Sometimes your neighbor might have received your package and didn’t look at the name or address before opening it. If you live at an apartment complex or had the package delivered to a work location, make sure to ask the front desk or office to see if the package was delivered there versus your doorstep or desk.

Step 3: Ask other household members

Yes, we have seen this happen — a partner brings in a package and shoves it somewhere out of sight. It doesn’t hurt to double-check that no one else in the household has seen any recent packages. 

If you are unable to locate the package after the above steps, continue.
