Please note tracking details may be sent via SMS or email. For additional delivery status updates, please reach out to the shipping carrier indicated in your email or SMS. ADORN, due to Australia Post privacy reasons, is unable to provide tracking or status information once it leaves our warehouse.
ORDER HAS NOT ARRIVED WITHIN THE DELIVERY TIME
Although express services are a faster delivery option, unfortunately, we can’t guarantee timings as it depends on the destination. Occasionally, carriers experience delays and as much as we don’t like it, they are out of our control. We do not accept any liability and you agree to release us from all liability arising out of any delay in shipping and delivering an order.
If your parcel is to be delivered to a residential address and you have provided delivery instructions, kindly inspect your property surroundings (e.g., meter box, carport) for a secure location where the delivery driver may have placed your parcel. Additionally, please review your confirmation email to ensure the accuracy of the delivery address.
