Pre-Transit Orders
When shipping carrier picks up packages from our warehouse, they do not scan them at the time of pickup. Instead, the initial scan typically occurs at the USPS local sorting facility, which usually happens within 1 business day.
In most cases, packages are scanned within 1 to 2 business days. However, due to the high volume of shipments handled daily, some packages may miss this initial scan. These packages might not be scanned until they reach the destination local post office, which can take up to 12 business days for the first scan.

Claim Process for Pre-Transit Orders
If your order remains in Pre-Transit status for more than 12 business days, you may submit a support ticket to initiate a claim with our team.In-Transit Orders
Once a package receives its first scan by the shipping carrier, the status updates to In-Transit. At this stage, Acutrack is not liable for the package and will not issue a refund. If the package is lost or undelivered, please log in to our portal and place a new order at your own expense.
Peak Season:
In the fourth quarter, shipping carriers experience a substantial surge in demand, with shipping orders increasing to at least three times the regular season volume. This heightened activity may result in significant delays for Printed Parcel, DHL orders. International orders, in particular, may experience an additional 30 business days for delivery due to customs clearance, as customs departments worldwide grapple with a high volume of shipments.
If your order faces a delay exceeding 20 business days, we recommend placing a new order with priority shipping methods at your expense to circumvent further delays. It's important to note that Acutrack is not accountable for such delays as these are least expensive shipping method and not insured; our role is to assist in order fulfillment, and we do not manage the shipping carriers
Claims:
If your order shipped via UniUni, USPS First class, USPS Media mail, or USPS Partnered services such as DHL there is, unfortunately, no way to make a claim for the lost or delayed, or damaged package because these services do not provide any insurance. Let us know if you are interested in third-party insurance services.
If the package is undelivered due to an 'issue with address", refused, or incomplete address, we won't be able to recover the cost of postage regardless of the shipping method.
A Even when packages are shipped via FedEx, we are not liable for anything other than issuing a credit for the freight costs after filing a successful claim with the carriers.
