Upon a failed delivery attempt, the carrier may leave a note or calling card for Buyer Users to re-arrange delivery, if no-one is available upon delivery attempt.

  • Along with the Product, please remember to pack by bubble wrapping all of the Product’s accessories in the cardboard box – its original box, papers and any other parts that it came with upon purchase. 
  • If the Product’s strap or any of its accessories contain exotic skins, they should be shipped in a separate package.
  • Pack the bubble-wrapped items in a sturdy cardboard box and seal it carefully with packing tape.
  • Arrange pick-up or drop-off services from a trusted courier (such as DHL, FedEx, UPS, Malca-Amit or Ferrari Logistics) with a shipment tracking system. 
  • Be sure to inform concierge@wristcheck.com with the tracking number, Buyer Users name and any other details that pertain to the Product once the shipment has been picked up by the courier.
