Q&A

Where is my order?

As soon as we confirm your order, you will receive an email with the product’s shipping guide to your address in the United States. You can also see this information in the "Tracking" button at the USER MENU at the top of this page.

 

How soon will I receive my order?

The products will be delivered between 5 and 10 business days following the creation of the order. However, some products may take longer due to third party delivery times.

 

I did not receive my package and it appears as delivered

If your tracking information says your package was delivered, but you can't find it:

  • Verify the shipping address
  • Look for a message delivery attempt
  • Check around the delivery location
  • Check if someone else accepted the delivery
  • Some packages travel through more than one carrier; check your mailbox or other places where you receive mail.
  • Wait 36 hours - in some cases packages may be marked as delivered up to 36 hours before delivery.
  • If after verifying the previous points you still cannot find your package, contact us through your local ANICAM customer service.

How do I know how much will be charged to my credit card?

If you require a physical invoice, you can request to your local customer service and we will send it to you.

Why do the collection and dispatch of the packages take time?

So that your package does not have delays, ensure it meets these requirements:

- Pre-alert.

- Generate the payment the same day before 3pm.

- Check if your card has funds available.

- Note: If your package is pre-alerted but does not have an active means of payment, it leaves the second day.

- Note: If your package is pre-alerted and payment made, it will be sent on next flight available.

 

Why packages arriving my address in the US are not always notified?

IThis is due to various situations, there may be a change of carriers, example: UPS and DHL have Alliance with USPS and therefore the last mile delivery is transfered to the latter, creting the delay. Also, when these situations occur, the USPS changes the tracking number to their own and therefore the Prealert is lost. It is important that your provider notify you when these changes occur.

When packages arrive at different distribution center within the Courier or USPS, and dispatch to the trucks, it can take 1 to 2 days delay after the delivery status has been entered, and up to 3 days in high season.

 

Why isn't a notification generated earlier before shipments go to abandon?

Packages should be moved immediately after arriving your address in Miami, you will be notified after 15-30 days that you need to pay to transport your package, if it is still in that same state we will notify you again after 60 days, a warehousing fee of $10 per month will apply, and after 90 days of inaction from your part, package will be placed in abandonment without recourse to recuperate. The same time counts for packages at the local stores that have not been picked up.
