Find a Missing Item from Your Package
If you received your package and an item is missing, do the following:
Go to Your Orders to see if your missing item is in another shipment.
Next to the image of your item, confirm the status of the order as to whether this has changed to delivered .
If this has not indicated as shipped, then your order must still be in processing mode.
Note:
If your item is missing a part, contact us for assistance.
If the tracking information shows that the shipment was delivered, but you can't find it, go to Find a Missing Package That Shows As Delivered for more information.
Most packages arrive on time. Orders sometimes show up after the estimated delivery date.
Possible reasons for late delivery include the following:
1. Incorrect address
2. Missing apartment, building, floor, or unit number
3. Severe weather conditions
The recommended actions are:
1. Confirm estimated delivery date and address in Your Orders.
2. Check payment processing in Your Orders.
3. Wait 1 hour to allow for unexpected delays.
4. After 1 hour, contact us.
If an item you ordered is unavailable, we will continue to check for the item until it is back in stock. If, after our checks, the item remains out of stock, any credit due to you will be added to your Naivas eWallet.
We do not process refunds to bank accounts. In instances where your address is not within our delivery coverage locations or we later receive a payment which did not reflect in our account at the time you made it, we may process a refund to your account after deducting relevant bank charges.

At checkout, you are able to select a preferred time when you will like your order delivered. We deliver 7 days a week from 9am to 8pm and can be at your door in as early as 3 hours after you order. See our Terms for more details on our delivery service.
When we receive customer orders, we begin processing them immediately. There is however provision for a 5 minutes cancellation window, where you may be able to request cancellation of an order in the event you would wish to change your mind.
Once an order has been dispatched, we are unable to issue a full refund as delivery charges have already been applied. You shall only be eligible to get the full order amount minus the delivery charges. This, however, does not affect customers’ rights to a refund in the event that an ordered item is unavailable.
Delivery times may be longer than usual. You can find updated delivery times on the product detail page for each item, and in checkout. Do not use delivery addresses for buildings that may be closed due to the current provisions (e.g., schools).

What should a merchant tell me before I agree to a recurring payment?
When you agree to a recurring payment, the merchant must inform you of the amount of each recurring transaction, the frequency of the charge, and the duration of the arrangement.
If the payment you preauthorize will vary in amount, the merchant must provide you with an option to receive notice of the amount and the date of the charge at least 10 days in advance of the charge. If the merchant provides the option, you can choose to receive notice only if the amount of the recurring payment falls outside of a range to which you have agreed.
If the merchant did not comply with the above policy, report it to us.
Will I receive notice when my chosen payment method is charged?
You will receive an email confirmation from Naivas E-commerce when you are charged. If you do not believe you authorized a charge, contact Naivas Customer Support.
Can I use my debit card for a recurring payment?
Only credit cards and Naivas Wallets can be used for a recurring payment. Do not choose a debit card when agreeing to a recurring payment. A debit card, also known as a "check" or "ATM" card, typically has the word "debit" printed on the face of the card.
