We commonly receive email questions and observations regarding the USPS tracking status 'Label Created: USPS Awaiting Item.'

Beginning approximately early March of 2020, USPS informed its business customers that tracking information may not update in a timely manner, if at all. We recognize and share in the frustration surrounding this issue. Unfortunately, we as the merchant are only able to access the same tracking information that our customers see and are not able to provide further details with regard to USPS shipment progress. This lapse in tracking updates does not necessarily mean that your shipment will arrive late.

If you have received a shipping confirmation email containing a USPS tracking number, rest assured your order has been picked up by USPS and is in transit. If the order does not arrive within the estimated transit period outlined below in our 'Shipping FAQ' section, please feel free to email us and we will be happy to assist you.

In order to protect your investments with us, we offer an all-inclusive shipping warranty that is included by default in your shopping cart. This warranty protects you against carrier loss, carrier damage and package thieves. If your items are lost, damaged, leaking or stolen, we'll replace the order at no cost. Submitting an order without a shipping warranty applied absolves Parks Car Care of any and all involvement with the loss of a shipment in transit, damaged/leaking items or package theft. Shipping warranties can only be applied at the time of checkout and cannot be purchased or applied retroactively.

Our shipping warranty is backed by Guardia1. Orders placed with shipping warranty coverage will automatically receive communications from Guardia1 with instructions as to how to make claims in the event that covered events are encountered on an order. Guardia1 will efficiently handle all claims for lost, damaged or stolen orders.

No.

Parks Car Care will accept responsibility for items missing in an order due to any rare fulfillment errors. Once the items in your order are handed over to your chosen shipping carrier, only shipping warranty coverage applies to cases of loss, damage or theft.

An order status of "shipped" means that your order has been carefully packed by our fulfillment staff and a shipping label has been created. This does not mean that your order has left our warehouse with the carrier, though this process does usually take place on the same business day.

If you are in need of an item quickly, we highly recommend choosing an expedited shipping option from our table below with 1 to 2 days of "safety margin." We do not recommend any USPS services for expedited delivery at this time. Economy/free shipping options are not expedited services and thus may not arrive promptly.

We ship to most countries around the world, with the exception of countries that have consistently produced a heightened amount of lost shipment claims and local postal delays. If you begin the checkout process and do not see a shipping rate available for your location, unfortunately, we do not ship to your location. Shipping rates for all other locations are calculated during the checkout process. For security and privacy purposes, we cannot calculate custom shipping rates via email or use third-party shipping services.

You can count on us to handle your order as expediently as possible. Order transit times are estimated based on your location during the checkout process, but in an effort to help you select the shipping method that works best for you, we've listed the average transit times for each shipping method that we offer. Please note that these transit times are estimates provided by each carrier upon the first departure scan and are not guaranteed by Parks Car Care.
