Q: Why do I have two or more tracking numbers?
A: Due to unforeseen inventory issues, some orders may be partially fulfilled and this will result in receiving two different tracking numbers for your order. This means that some of the item(s) in your order may be shipped from a different warehouse separately to avoid a long wait time.
Q: What couriers will be used to ship my order?
A: Bloomkare will use its discretion to determine the best courier for each order and also reserves the right to change the courier without prior notice.
Q: How do I track my orders?
A: Once your order is shipped, you will receive a “Dispatched” email with the assigned courier name, tracking number, and tracking link. You can also log into ‘My account’ and find your order status and your tracking number if available. You can track the parcel status with the tracking number via the tracking link we provide.
Q: Why is there no information available for the tracking number I am given?
A: We provide customers the tracking number of your package as soon as we have the information. However, this may mean that you could receive the tracking number before the courier company has updated their database and uploaded the information to their website. The tracking details would be available after a while, sometimes taking up to 40 hours. Unfortunately, the time required for the tracking number to reflect the status of your package is subject to the courier and it is out of our control.
Q: Where is my order?
A: Once we ship out your order, the parcel will be in the hands of the courier. To get the latest updates on your parcel, please refer to the tracking number we will send to you once we have dispatched your order. As it is out of our hands, it is the responsibility of the customer to check this and to contact the courier if there are any issues to arrange re-delivery, receive pick up instructions, etc. If there is an issue that you cannot solve with the courier, you may contact us by submitting a ticket and we will try to provide assistance where possible.
Q: Why does my order’s tracking status show delivered but I have not received my package yet?
A: There could be some circumstances that packages might be delivered to your mailbox or delivered and signed by your neighbors. We suggest you check your mailbox and ask your neighbors first. If you cannot find your package, you may further make an inquiry to the local courier with the given tracking number. If there is an issue that you cannot solve with the courier please contact us by submitting a ticket.
Q: What if my item ordered is damaged during transportation?
A: This rarely happens, but to ensure the best shopping experience for our customers, you may consider purchasing our insured shipping service.

Q: What happens to my order if it cannot be delivered and is returned to Bloomkare?
A: If you are not available to receive the order, our courier will contact you to try to arrange a redelivery at a suitable time. If our courier partners are unable to reach you after multiple attempts, your package will be returned back to the warehouse. In the case of any return shipments from our courier partners, Bloomkare team regards such parcels as undeliverable parcels. In these circumstances, we will notify customers via email to confirm the package arrangement, i.e. order refund or reshipment. Either option of order refund or reshipment would incur handling fees, reshipment fees, or additional return shipping fees that are borne by the customers to pay for, before any arrangement is further processed.
