It's that time of year again! With so many people shopping online, the volumes of packages going through USPS and other systems get pretty overwhelming. Around this time of year, USPS often suspends scanning updates on packages until they arrive at their destinations.
Our team works 7 days a week on fulfilling your orders, and most orders leave our workshop within 2 business days! Please understand that shipping carriers and their processing times are not controlled by the Beard Octane team. If your shipped package does not update within 7-10 business days (that is not including weekends or holidays), email our support team and we can give you information on what to do next. We highly recommend purchasing our optional shipment protection at checkout, which can help us expedite missing package investigations.

SHIPPING STATUS UPDATE ISSUES
If you do not receive a tracking update (location scans, movement on packages) after 10 Business Days, please contact us with your order number, and we will do our best to assist. PLEASE understand that once packages are in the carriers' hands, your package is out of our control. Therefore, if you need a product location/status update, please contact the carrier directly. We can not send a shipment replacement until a shipment has been officially marked as missing, lost, stolen, and/or damaged.
SHIPPING ALTERNATIVES
We offer US Postal Service (USPS) as well as both Fed Ex & UPS options for our customers. We understand that other shipping carriers may cost slightly more than traditional shipping by USPS, however, they tend to be more reliable when it comes to receiving your packages in a timely manner and getting appropriate tracking updates.
