Please remember that we are a small shop. We use local manufacturers and family-run businesses as our partners here in America. While this means we can feel good about everything we make, it sometimes means that products take a bit longer than expected and creates the occasional logistical issue. We do not have a massive supply chain or a massive team of people working 24/7. It's just us...doing our best...just like you. Thank you and enjoy!

*International orders may also require customs fees to be paid before you can receive your package. This is entirely handled by the shipping carrier and destination country. These fees are calculated by the customs agency and are based on the value of the order. We have no control over these fees, nor do we ever see them. We recommend ensuring that you have a good phone number attached to your order, so you can be notified if/when your order is being held for customs fees/clearance. 

Tracking

International Orders

-International orders are shipped using UPS Economy. This service connects with local postal carriers to deliver internationally. This means you will be given a UPS tracking number when your order ships to track the package on its journey through the United States. Your package must be processed through an international distribution center before being shipped overseas. Due to Covid-19 and high parcel volumes, packages can take anywhere from 5-10 business days to be processed at a center. 

-An alternate tracking number will be listed under ‘view details’ on the original UPS tracking information page. The alternate tracking number is provided by USPS and tracks your order through customs and delivery in the destination country. You will be contacted via mail, email, or phone regarding customs fees. If you are not contacted, you must reach out to your local post or whoever handles customs clearance in your country. If they are unable to assist you, please reach out to dailydadcourses@gmail.com.

Signed Book Orders

-Personalized signed book orders take 5-7 business days to process and show updates. You may receive a shipping confirmation email shortly after placing the order however tracking will not show any updates until Ryan has signed your book and your order has been packaged and shipped. 

-Personalized books also ship separately from other Daily Stoic Store items so you may be given two tracking numbers for one order. 

I received a delivery notification but I haven’t received my order?

-Occasionally, USPS will update tracking as 'delivered' when the package has arrived at the post office that will be handling delivery. If you have not received your order, we recommend reaching out to your local post office or to USPS directly to make sure there was not a mixup with delivery.
