Address Accuracy

Please ensure your shipping address is correct at checkout.
If a parcel returns to us due to an incorrect or incomplete address, we can resend it once it is received back to us, however an additional postage cost will apply 


Lost or Delayed Parcels

If your parcel seems delayed or the tracking isn’t updating:

1. Check your tracking link

2. Contact your local postal provider

3. Email theframegameau@gmail.com

If you added Worry-Free Delivery, you can lodge a claim for compensation or replacement.


Uncollected parcels:

If you don’t collect your parcel within the courier’s specified timeframe, it will usually be returned to us. This situation is not covered by Worry-Free Delivery, so a returned parcel will require either an additional shipping fee to resend, or a refund minus the original shipping costs.
