Carrier Delays
Once an order has been shipped and tracking has been issued, the package is in the possession of the shipping carrier.
Carrier delays may occur due to weather, holidays, customs, staffing delays, transportation issues, incorrect addresses, or other circumstances outside of Liberated Eyewear’s control.
If tracking has not updated or your package appears delayed, please contact the carrier directly for the most current information. You may also contact us, and we will do our best to assist you.
Liberated Eyewear is not responsible for carrier delays once the package has been accepted by the shipping carrier.

Customers may add package protection at checkout for added coverage against eligible loss, theft, or damage during transit.
Package protection is optional but strongly recommended.
If package protection is purchased, claims must be submitted through the package protection provider’s claim process.
Liberated Eyewear is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged packages once the carrier confirms delivery, unless the issue qualifies under the package protection provider’s terms or is verified as a carrier-related issue.

Lost, Stolen, or Delivered Packages
If tracking shows that a package was delivered but you did not receive it, please check with your household, neighbors, mailroom, front desk, or local carrier first.
If the package still cannot be located, please contact the carrier to file a claim.
