Shipping exceptions occur when unforeseen events delay the delivery of your package. These exceptions can include severe weather conditions, natural disasters, labor strikes, customs delays, or other disruptions beyond the carrier’s control. While carriers like UPS strive to meet their delivery guarantees, certain circumstances are excluded from their money-back guarantee policies.
At UseMyFrame.com, we work hard to ensure your orders are shipped promptly and accurately. However, once a package is in the hands of the carrier, we are not responsible for delays caused by shipping exceptions. If your delivery is delayed, we recommend checking the tracking information provided and contacting the carrier directly for assistance.
For more details about a carrier’s guarantee policies and exclusions, visit the carriers' website or contact their customer service.
