Your tracking number will be e-mailed to you once we have fulfilled your order. Alternatively, you can also find your tracking information by logging into your ALPAKA account from our homepage or through our customer support widget on the bottom right of your screen.

Please allow ample time for tracking to update. For additional shipping & tracking inquiries please contact the courier directly. We receive the same tracking as you do once shipped and unfortunately do not have insight into any additional information beyond that.

Some countries may impose additional taxes or duties (i.e. VAT) on imports received from Hong Kong. You are responsible for any such extra taxes or fees your government applies to get the package delivered. ALPAKA will do the best we can to provide the best international shipping experience possible, but much of the process is out of our control, and is in the control of your countries' officials and mail systems.

If a package remains unclaimed, it will be returned to Hong Kong. We are not able to refund the shipping charge in this case. The time a country holds a package in customs varies, and we do not have means of contacting these offices.

UK orders will have VAT pre-paid.

If your order hasn't shipped yet, simply email your order number, full name and new address (if you are changing your address details) to hello@alpakagear.com.

Orders tend to ship 1-2 business days after an order is placed and once an order has shipped, we are unable to make any changes.

Even if your order has not shipped yet, it may still be too late to make any updates to your order.

Once shipped, it is impossible for us to change the delivery address, cancel the order, or upgrade the shipping. Thank you for understanding.

We are sorry to hear that. While we do our best to ensure your package is delivered to you as fast as possible, once we have sent your package for shipping, the delivery time is no longer in our control and is dependent on the carrier in charge of your package. All shipping information we have are based on the information the carrier company provides to us therefore, we do not have any additional information beyond what they already have.

Please contact the carrier in charge of your package about the status of your delivery. You can find the carrier in charge of your delivery using the tracking number provided when your shipment was fulfilled. You can also visit our tracking page here and enter your tracking number to find your carrier.

Alternatively, you can contact hello@alpakagear.com and our customer support will do their best to see if there is any way we can help from our end.

Shipping insurance is an additional and optional package protection and tracking solution at checkout. By selecting Navidium at checkout, your order will be protected from damage, loss, or theft. In the unfortunate case that your order never comes or is broken upon arrival, you can easily file a claim with us and receive a replacement or store credit.

If you have accidentally added this into your cart and would like a refund, please email hello@alpakagear.com as soon as possible, as refunds only apply to orders that have not been fulfilled yet.
