5. Managing Shipping Delays and Unforeseen Circumstances
As an e-commerce entity, we are legally required to notify you and seek your consent if we cannot ship your order within the initially stated or implied delivery time.
A. Notification of Delay
If we foresee a delay in shipping your order, we will promptly notify you via email or SMS with the following information:

- If the package is confirmed as lost by the carrier or if a claim is successful, we will process a full refund or send a replacement at our expense.
