HOLIDAY ORDERS


We all know that shopping during the holidays is not the same as it is the rest of the year. So, we thought it might be helpful to put together a few tips and best practices for ordering during the holidays.

Some couriers offer Delivery Management, where you can provide special delivery instructions, or request a depot pick-up. You might even be able to redirect it to a different address.

Once you recieve your tracking link to see what your options are. (The sooner you manage your delivery the better.)

It is important to provide a delivery address that is secure in order to prevent theft. (See Porch Theft - Prevention & Best Practices).

If you receive a delivery notification, but your parcel is not where you expect it to be, here is where we suggest you start.

1. First, check to see if your parcel was hidden by the courier. You can also check with your neighbours to see if your parcel was delivered to the wrong address.

2. You can also take a check your tracking link, to see if the courier provided a picture as proof of delivery. Sometimes this may help to determine where the parcel was placed.

3. If you are unable to find your package, please contact the courier (contact info & instructions can usually be found on your tracking link). We advise that you do this before (or in addition to) reaching out to us, as often they are able to help more quickly and in some instances, helps us leverage the issue when we do get in touch with them.

4. Contact us via email at hello@tofinotowelco.com, or through our store chat. Let us know about your issue including your order number, delivery date and which steps you have already taken. Please note that during busy times, this process can take about a week before we hear back from the courier and some issues take up to 30 days to reach a resolution.

On a positive note, in many cases, the issue is as simple as a technical hiccup made by the couriers and orders often turn up delivered within 24 hours.

Stolen parcels are sometimes an unfortunate reality of online ordering. Here are some tips to help ensure your order arrives safely.

  1. Make sure the shipping address is a secure location, ideally where somebody is available to receive it. (An office, or to an address where somebody is home during the daytime). Avoid front door or lobby drop-offs if possible.

2. If you do have your deliveries dropped off at your front door, consider a lock box or secure/hidden area where the parcel can be placed. Doorbell cameras and other forms of security can also help deter theft as well.

3. Opt to have your order held at the shipping depot if possible.
