Estimated Reading Time: 10 Minutes

If your package appears to be lost, we understand how concerning and frustrating that can be.

Before Assuming Your Package Is Lost

Many packages reported as lost are eventually located within a short period of time. Courier tracking systems, delivery scans, and local delivery procedures can sometimes create confusion about the actual status of a shipment.

Before opening an investigation, we recommend completing a few simple checks.

Step 1: Review Your Tracking Information

Check the most recent tracking updates provided by the courier. Look for:

  • Recent scan activity
  • Delivery attempts
  • Exception notices
  • Updated estimated delivery dates
  • Local depot or facility information

Packages that continue to receive scans are usually not lost, even if delivery is delayed.

Step 2: Verify The Delivery Address

Confirm that the shipping address entered during checkout was correct.

Pay special attention to:

  • Street number
  • Apartment or unit number
  • Postal code
  • Business names
  • Contact phone number

Even small address errors can result in delivery exceptions or misrouted shipments.

Step 3: Check Around The Delivery Location

If tracking shows "Delivered" but the package cannot be located, check:

  • Front entrances
  • Back entrances
  • Reception desks
  • Mail rooms
  • Package lockers
  • Security personnel
  • Neighbors or household members

Couriers occasionally leave packages in secure locations to protect them from theft or weather conditions.

When Should I Contact Customer Service?

We recommend contacting Customer Service if:

  • The package has not moved for more than 7 business days.
  • The delivery date has passed significantly.
  • Tracking appears invalid.
  • The shipment is marked delivered but cannot be located.
  • You believe the package has been misrouted.

What Happens After I Report A Lost Package?

Once a case is reported, our team will review shipment history and determine the appropriate next steps.

This may include:

  1. Tracking Review
  2. Courier Investigation Request
  3. Facility Search
  4. Driver Verification
  5. Shipment Trace Process
  6. Resolution Assessment

Investigation timelines vary depending on courier policies and destination locations.

Courier Investigation Process

Most shipping providers maintain formal shipment tracing procedures. These investigations involve reviewing scan records, transportation logs, driver notes, and delivery confirmations.

The purpose of the investigation is to determine whether the package:

  • Is still in transit
  • Has been misrouted
  • Was incorrectly scanned
  • Was delivered to an incorrect address
  • Has been lost within the courier network

Replacement And Resolution Options

If an investigation confirms that a shipment has been lost, Beard Oil Company will review available resolution options based on the circumstances.

Possible outcomes may include:

  • Replacement Shipment
  • Store Credit
  • Refund
  • Alternative Product Fulfillment

Each case is evaluated individually.

International Shipment Considerations

International orders may require additional time before a shipment is classified as lost. Customs processing, airline transfers, and local courier handovers can create longer periods without tracking activity.

For this reason, international investigations may take longer than domestic investigations.
