Occasionally, USPS will decide to not leave your package at your location if you are not home to receive it and they cannot find a secure place at which to leave it. They will usually leave a notice with details of where you can pick up your package, usually at your local USPS office/hub. If you need help with this process you are welcome to contact us by calling 1-866-962-4464 or e-mailing customerservice@AgingParents.com. Alternatively, you can try their toll free number.

How is the shipping fee for my international order determined? | |
Shipping fee is based on the weight and destination of your package. We determine this fee by entering the weight of your shipment and location into our UPS world ship program. In some instances, this fee can be equal to or greater than the total cost of the items. This would occur with orders that have a lot of weight and/or for packages that will be traveling a large distance. | |
