Route Insurance is a third-party app that allows customers to purchase insurance, track packages, and file claims for any damage or lost orders.

We strive to provide accurate shipping rates at checkout, but please note that occasionally Shopify may undercalculate the size or weight of an order, especially for larger or bulkier items.
If this happens, we will notify you via email once your order has been processed and inform you of any additional postage required to ship your package. Your order will not be shipped until the outstanding postage balance is paid.
We appreciate your understanding, as this helps us ensure that your order arrives safely and efficiently. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

We are NOT responsible for lost or damaged packages. Once your item has been marked shipped, we no longer have control of it. Customers can purchase insurance via Route during checkout if you are worried about your package getting lost or damaged (we highly recommend this option during the holiday season). We keep photographic records of all processed orders for quality assurance.
If your order has not been marked delivered, and it has been over 4 weeks (domestic) or 10 weeks (international) from your shipment confirmed date, please contact us at help@sumlilthings.com.

If the package still hasn't arrived, please check with your neighbors or leasing office (if you live in an apartment complex) to see if the package was picked up by them.
You can also check with your local post office or USPS, to see if the package has been retained and whether it can be recovered and re-delivered/picked up. USPS can be contacted at 1-877-275-8777 or using the below link
USPS Missing Mail Search Request: https://www.usps.com/help/missing-mail.htm
