FAQ

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!

Tracking

International Orders

-International orders are shipped using UPS Economy and DHL. UPS 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 store@dailystoic.com.

-Personalized books also ship separately from other Daily Stoic Store items so you may be given two tracking numbers for one order. Ryan reserves the right to make any changes or omissions to the requested note as he deems fit.

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