It is an unfortunate event when
someone's package is mis-delivered or is not where
the UPS driver says they left it. If you have not
received your package within a reasonable time
frame and you have a tracking number then please
try tracking the package to see what updated information
UPS has for your items. If you do not have a tracking
number we will be more than happy to provide one
to you as well as track the package to see its
status. Should UPS show that your package has been
delivered when in fact you have not received it
then we need to file a 'lost package' claim with
UPS. Effective August 1,
2007 we will no longer be able to ship replacement
products or issue credits until after we have initiated
the claim process with UPS. WHY? Well, it
is the process of UPS to have the carrier responsible
for delivering the package to contact the customer
and ask them personally if they received the package
in question and we have had too many well meaning
customers who proudly respond "Yes, I did." when
in fact the customer was talking about the replacement
order and UPS was talking about the lost order.
UPS does not even open a claim investigation when
the customer states they have received the package.
Here's what you should do:
Our New Procedure: What should you
do if your package shows delivered but you did not
receive it?
1) The very first thing you should do is Contact
our customer service representatives and notify them
as soon as possible that there may be a problem.
2) Wait. And, this is the most difficult phase of
the process. During this time, our Customer Service
Representatives will start the preliminary lost package
phase with UPS. It is at this time that the UPS carrier
that "delivered"
your package will contact you - probably by telephone
- to ask you or anyone living in your home if you
received the package.
3) Your answer to the preceeding preliminary investigation
by UPS will determine how the remainder of the Lost
Package claim will continue and will also determine
whether your items will be replaced or refunded by
DocsPrefer.com.
- If you tell the UPS driver that you did receive
your package: then the preliminary investigation
by UPS will end and no case will be opened. If
this happens then we will not be able to replace
your items or refund you any monies. Why? Because
you have just told UPS - the people responsible
for paying for your lost items - that you did
in fact receive the items. Therefore, as far
as UPS and WAM Essentials, Inc. and DocsPrefer.com
is concerned this case is closed as you have
in fact received your items.
- If you tell the UPS representative that you
did not receive your package then UPS will open
an investigation into what happened to your package.
Once the investigation has been officially opened
by UPS and they have agreed that the package was
lost and will reimburse WAM Essentials, Inc. for
the products then DocsPrefer.com will either ship
you another package (this time it will be signature
required) or refund you the cost of the product.
We do not refund shipping charges.
4) Up to this point, the entire process should only
take 7 to 14 days.
