What to expect after you place an order.

After checkout, you will receive an order confirmation email. Once your order is processed and fulfilled, you should receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking information when tracking is available.

After checkout

Order confirmation

You should receive an order confirmation email after checkout. This confirms that your order was received, but it does not always mean the package has shipped yet.

  • Check your inbox, spam, junk, or promotions folder.
  • Use the same email you entered at checkout.
  • Keep your order number for support requests.
After fulfillment

Shipping confirmation

When your order ships and tracking is available, you should receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking link.

  • Tracking can take time to update after the label is created.
  • Carrier scans may not appear instantly.
  • The carrier page usually has the most detailed movement history.
Delivery estimate

Timing and rates

Available shipping methods, costs, and estimated delivery windows appear at checkout based on the cart and delivery address.

  • Delivery estimates are not the same as guarantees.
  • Weather, holidays, carrier volume, and address issues can affect timing.
  • Processing time and transit time are separate.
Delivery help

What to do if tracking looks wrong or your package is delayed.

Most tracking questions can be solved by checking the order status page, the carrier link, and the delivery location before contacting support.

01

If tracking says “label created.”

The shipping label may have been generated before the carrier scan. Allow time for pickup and carrier processing before the tracking page updates.

02

If tracking has not moved.

Carrier scans can pause during busy periods, weekends, holidays, weather events, or transfers between facilities. Check the carrier page for the newest scan information.

03

If tracking says delivered.

Check your mailbox, porch, side doors, parcel lockers, mailroom, front desk, neighbors, and household members. Some carriers mark packages delivered shortly before final placement.

04

If the address is wrong.

Contact support as soon as possible. If the order has not shipped, the team may be able to help. Once a package is with the carrier, address changes may be limited.

Returns policy

Start returns with support before sending anything back.

Return eligibility depends on the product type, condition, timing, and whether the item was opened or used. Contact support first so the team can confirm whether the order qualifies and provide the correct next step.

01

Contact support within the return window.

Use the contact page and include your order number, checkout email, product name, and reason for the return request.

02

Wait for return instructions.

Do not send products back without approval. Unapproved returns may be delayed, refused, or not eligible for refund processing.

03

Keep products and packaging available.

If there is a damage, wrong item, or missing item issue, clear photos of the item, packaging, packing slip, and shipping label may be required.

04

Follow the final support decision.

Support will confirm the appropriate resolution, which may include a return, replacement, refund review, or carrier investigation depending on the situation.

Shipping & returns FAQ

Common questions before and after delivery.

These answers help set expectations and reduce order anxiety. Exact eligibility can depend on the order and product.

How long will my order take to arrive?
Shipping options and estimated delivery windows appear at checkout based on your address and cart. Delivery estimates can be affected by processing time, carrier delays, weather, holidays, and address issues.
Where can I find my tracking number?
Your tracking number is usually in the shipping confirmation email sent after your order is fulfilled. You can also check your customer account or visit the Track My Order page for tracking instructions.
Why does tracking say “label created”?
This usually means the shipping label has been generated, but the carrier may not have scanned the package yet. Tracking can take time to update after pickup or processing.
Tracking says delivered, but I do not have the package. What should I do?
Check your mailbox, porch, side doors, parcel lockers, mailroom, front desk, neighbors, and household members. If it still cannot be found, contact the carrier and EarthOnMall support.
Can I change my shipping address after checkout?
Contact support immediately. If the order has not shipped, the team may be able to help. Once the package is with the carrier, address changes may be limited or unavailable.
Can I return opened products?
Some products may not be eligible for return once opened, used, or restricted for safety and quality reasons. Contact support with your order number and product name before sending anything back.
How long do refunds take?
If a refund is approved and processed, your bank or payment provider may take several business days to post the credit. Timing can vary by payment method.
Do Subscribe & Save orders follow the same shipping process?
Yes. When a Subscribe & Save order is processed and shipped, tracking should be provided when available. You can manage subscription details through your account or subscription-management link.

Need help with a shipment or return?

Contact support with your order number, checkout email, shipping name, ZIP/postal code, and photos if the package or item arrived damaged.
