Where is my order?

We are a small company and we do our best to process the orders as quickly as we can.

All customers receive a shipping confirmation email. You can use the link provided, in that email, to follow your package’s journey through space and time.

Order Processing
Orders are typically processed in 1-2 weeks, but sometimes can take up to 8 weeks to process if an item is on backorder.

“Available On Back Order” – Means temporarily out of stock and that more are being made. The item will be shipped out to you as soon as restocks arrive.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS
You can give your package details to your local post office and they should be able to tell you if your package is in the country.
NOTE: You may be subject to pay Import Duty or VAT upon collection of your parcel. In accordance with USPS regulations, we must declare accurate values on the item being shipped.

If you have placed a pre-order, please double check the website for the expected delivery date.
We try our best to get your shipment out by the date promised. However, manufacturing delays, customs and shipping are all quite fickle and we can’t always meet the dates mentioned on the site. We kindly ask your patience and understanding.

Delivered but not received
Once the tracking status has been marked as delivered, it is no longer the responsibility of the United States Postal Service. Southern Lord is also not responsible for lost or stolen packages, so please check with your fellow residents and neighbors regarding its whereabouts.

Still not there? Mail us ASAP, do not wait.
