If your package has been stolen, here are the steps you can take:

  • Start by searching your surroundings. Check behind and under objects, ask your neighbors, contact your apartment office, and search any previous addresses you may have had.
  • Locate the tracking number and check the delivery details. Make sure that the package was delivered and where it was left.
  • Get in touch with customer service and file a report or claim.
    Wait for 36 hours after the expected delivery in case it appears.
  • Contact the shipping carrier as they can work with the retailer directly on the matter.
  • Call the non-emergency line to file a police report. Provide as many details as possible, including photos and video if you have security camera footage.

 

Please note that ALL "Stolen Package" claims submitted to CoralVue require a copy of the police report.

We ship all international orders through FedEx, UPS, or the US Mail service. Please note that the US Mail service is a bit risky and we can only insure the package. If there is any damage, you will have to file a claim with your carrier, which can be a time-consuming process.

For new wholesale international customers, we only accept bank wire transfers for their first order. Please contact your sales representative for more information. Once we establish a good business relationship, we can accept Visa, Mastercard, or American Express. Unfortunately, credit card payments from some countries are not accepted.

Please note that Free Shipping is not available for orders placed from international locations, APO addresses, and the states of HI, PR, and AK.

At no extra cost, you have the option to drop ship directly to your customer within the contiguous United States. During checkout, simply input your customer's Name, Address, and Phone number in the shipping fields.
