      Valara Shipping Insurance: What We Don't Cover

      • Expedited shipping delays
        Valara does not cover shipping carrier delays on expedited shipping. If your order arrives later than the guaranteed delivery time but is undamaged, our policy does not apply. Contact the shipping carrier directly for potential refunds or resolution.

      • Quality dissatisfaction
        Please refer to our Returns Policy.

      • Returns or exchanges
        Please refer to our Returns Policy.

      • Items stuck in customs
        Please contact your local customs agency with questions.

      • Packages seized by law enforcement
        Please contact your local law enforcement with questions.

      • Invalid or undeliverable address, delivery barriers, or packages marked “return to sender”
        Valara will not consider a package "lost" if the shipping carrier cannot deliver due to an invalid address, delivery barriers, or customer refusal. 

      • Input wrong address by customer
        If a package has already been shipped with an incorrect address, contact the shipping carrier to request address redirection.

      • Order marked “pre-shipment” “label created” or “shipment information received”
        Packages marked "pre-shipment," "label created," or "shipment information received" are not considered lost. These orders are still being processed and may be delayed due to inventory or carrier logistics. 

      • Claim filed too late
        Claims that are filed after 30 days from the last tracking update for lost orders and after 30 days from delivery date for damaged or stolen orders may be denied.
