FAQ

DELIVERY AND RETURNS

1.    WHY MY ORDER HAS NO TRACKING UPDATES?

At times the courier will not scan the package immediately. If no information is displayed in the carrier´s website, please allow 48 hours for them to scan the package and update tracking information.  

2.    MY ORDER SEEMS DELAYED

Although we try our best to ensure packages are delivered in a timely manner, shipping times may vary depending on the destination. Once a package is shipped, we have no control over how long it will take to arrive. We also have no control over international customs delays. You acknowledge that your package may be delayed during shipment for these reasons. Note that more detailed or additional tracking information can often be found by tracing your parcel on the website of your local shipping carrier. If you have received a shipping confirmation and you feel like your order is not delivered within the specified delivery time, please contact our customer service and we will start an investigation with our logistics partner. This may take several days and a refund or replacement shipment can only be executed after this investigation.

3.    WHAT ARE YOUR SHIPPING COSTS AND DELIVERY TIMES?

Shipping costs vary depending on the weight of your order and how far it is traveling. For an exact estimate, please add the items to your cart and proceed to the checkout and shipping page.  These estimates do not include order processing times or customs delays.  Please note that additional Import Taxes, VAT, Custom Fees or other fees/taxes are not included in the shipping costs.

4.    I ONLY RECEIVED PART OF MY ORDER. WHERE IS MY OTHER ITEM(S)?

As we shop globally based in your location, some of our items come from different warehouses and your order may be split. If that is the case, they will have separate tracking numbers which will be sent to you once they are sent out.  If this is the case you will receive an email with tracking information for each shipment.

5.    WHAT IS YOUR TRACKING POLICY

When your order is ready to ship, you will receive an email with tracking details.  At times the courier will not scan the package immediately. Once you have been notified about your package's departure, please allow tracking information 48 hours to update once notified. Once your order has left our facility we no longer have any contact or control over it and you will need to get into contact with the courier directly to obtain any information. Furthermore, if an order has been marked as delivered we have entirely no contact with it and you will need to get into direct contact with the courier with any questions and concerns you may have.

6.    MY ORDER WAS RETURNED TO SENDER. WHAT ARE MY NEXT STEPS?

In the instance that the carrier was unable to locate your address or was unable to deliver after multiple attempts, your package will be returned by your local carrier at their discretion. Contact customer service for further information. Please allow 6-8 weeks for undeliverable packages to be returned. Bear in mind that after items are received in the destination country, they need to be cleared by customs before they are handed out to us.

3.    WHAT PRECAUTIONS IS THE MESSI STORE TAKING IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19?

First and foremost, the health and safety of our customers and team is our number one priority. Since the beginning, we’ve been watching developments of the COVID-19 outbreak very closely. As an e-commerce company, rest assured we’ve implemented additional measures to our existing procedures while staying abreast on updates from the WHO and CDC. We are pleased to be able to say our distribution center remains open, we’ll be fulfilling online orders without disruption. All of our products remain available on TheMessiStore.com.

We’ve increased focus on our distribution centers to maximizer safety, enforcing social distancing in order to minimize the spread of COVID-19. Ensuring the highest possible customer experience has always been our main driving force. In these times the health and safety of people throughout our supply chain must be our priority, so this may mean a slight delay to orders, but we trust you’ll understand, and support, the steps we’re taking in these global circumstances.

The World Health Organization has stated that it is safe to receive packages, even from areas where coronavirus has been reported, saying that the likelihood of an infected person contaminating commercial goods is low, as is the risk of catching the virus from a package. Please be mindful and use caution when the package is delivered, just like you would with anything else being brought into your home.

We closely monitor this global situation and will update you if anything should change.

If you have additional questions, please contact our support team here.

Most of our items do not have particular release dates. Please subscribe to our newsletter to receive email alerts each time a new product is released.

3.    DO YOU RESTOCK YOUR INVENTORY?

On occasion, we will restock some of our inventory items. Please make sure to check frequently if an item is not available at the time you are on our site. However, if an item is limited edition, it will not be restocked.

4.    I’VE ADDED AN ITEM IN MY CART AND NOW IT SHOWS IT’S SOLD OUT/NOT AVAILABLE.

Due to high volume and popular demand, it is likely items will sell out. Items are sold out on first come, first serve basis and you have a few minutes once an item is added to your cart to complete processing your order. If your cart times out, there is a chance your item will be released and another customer may complete purchasing the last available item in their order.

5.    I PLACED A SUCCESSFUL ORDER BUT DID NOT RECEIVE AN ORDER CONFIRMATION EMAIL YET

During high traffic periods, there may be a small delay in delivery of confirmation emails. If you have not received a confirmation email within 1-2 hours of your purchase, please check your junk email folder. If you think you entered the incorrect email address, please contact our customer service team with your full name, item ordered, and credit card number and the address that you placed an order with.

6.    THE PROMO CODE I AM USING DOESN’T WORK

Sometimes, your promo code won’t apply or you may get an error message when trying to use it.  Please check the following:

  • The promo code has expired. Some codes run for a limited time or expire after a set period. Please check the date in your code.
  • Your promo code has already been used. These can only be used once so once you have used it, it will no longer work.
  • The items aren’t eligible.  Coupon codes may not be combined with any other offer or discount.   If you picked a promo or discounted item or a promo deal (that may include a free item), it will not work.  In this case you will need to choose a non-promo item for it to work.
  • The code has been entered incorrectly. Try to copy/paste the code in the promo code field at checkout

If you are still having issues with the code, please send us a screenshot of the error and the items in the shopping cart and we will help you out.

7.    HOW CAN I REDEEM A COUPON OR GIFT CARD?

Place the items you want in the cart and proceed to the first step of the checkout process. Insert your contact information and in the right side underneath your cart product overview, use the field “Gift Card or Discount code” to fill in the code and click “Apply”. After adding the code and clicking 'Apply', you will see that the Coupon Code or Gift Card has been added underneath the Subtotal. The amount to be paid is automatically and immediately reduced with the Gift card or discount amount.
