For detailed information about delivery tracking, please visit our Tracking Your Package Help page.
When we offer an item for Release-Date Delivery, we need to be extra careful in working with our shippers to honor the release date restrictions specified by the product vendors. Sometimes, this requires us to process orders outside of our normal procedures, which may result in a lack of tracking information being available from carriers online.
Carriers tend to only update tracking information once daily, and orders are often already scheduled for delivery by the time tracking information becomes available.
Accepting Delivery and SignaturesAlthough a signature is not required for most Release-Date Delivery items, we cannot guarantee whether our carrier will leave a package at the delivery address if no one is available to accept it. If the package is not left on your doorstep on the release date, your mail carrier should leave a note explaining your options for re-delivery or picking up the package at your local Post Office.
Changing Your OrderAny changes to your order must be made within 5 days of the published release date. Making changes to your delivery address may affect your order's eligibility for Release-Date Delivery. If you do need to change your order, we recommend placing a new pre-order for the item and then cancelling your previous order after you are sure you can choose Release-Date Delivery on the new order.
