Order and delivery monitoring
How do I know the status of my order?
Log in to your San Francisco account and click on my orders. You'll see your past orders there, as well as any current orders, along with their status.
Can I change or cancel an order?
Yes. So long as your order hasn't shipped, we can cancel or modify it.
If you've already received confirmation that your order has shipped, that means your package is already on its way. But don't worry: you can return the items you ordered using the normal return procedure described here.
Why was my order cancelled?
If the information on the credit card used for the payment is inaccurate, the order is automatically cancelled for your security. Most often, this is because the billing address for the order is different from the address associated with the credit card, or because there is an error in the card verification number (found on the back of the card) or in the expiration date. It could also be because the card's credit limit was exceeded.
It is also possible for an order to be cancelled because the items selected are no longer available online at the time of the transaction.
In these cases, credit card companies may freeze the amount of the purchase for up to three days.
Please note that when an order is cancelled, it cannot be reactivated or modified. If you still want to buy the articles in the cancelled order, you have to start a new order.
How long will it take for me to receive my order?
Delivery will take between 3 and 7 business days for regular shipping, and between 2 and 3 business days for express shipping. If you live in a rural or remote area, the time will surely be 3 business days.
