Please contact us if you have not received your parcel after the estimated timeframe has passed.
Standard Delivery Services do not offer tracking throughout the entire journey. A 2D Barcode and Online Delivery Confirmation is included in the service for extra security. The parcel is scanned upon delivery or an unsuccessful attempt has been made. If an unsuccessful delivery was attempted, the parcel will be securely stored at the local Royal Mail depot for 18 calendar days. The customer will need to arrange a suitable redelivery date or alternatively, a collection.
For added security we only use tracked methods when shipping overseas
Please note International customers are responsible for all import/customs/local tax fees that may be incurred upon receipt of your package. We advise paying this in advance upon arrival of your package to ensure a smooth and cost effective transition.
The customer is responsible for providing the correct address and tracking their parcel. Tracking details are provided once orders are shipped via email. If you have not received this please contact us as soon as possible.
If the customer is unavailable upon delivery we advise to arrange redelivery or collect your package. If the customer fails to do this, or pay import fees, shipping will NOT be refunded once the package is returned.

If your order has not arrived by the estimated delivery timeframe it may still be in transit. We would advise first checking with your local delivery office to see if delivery has been attempted and the following:
- Home address: Check with anyone else living there to see if they accepted the delivery. Please also check if the item has been left with a neighbour, or in a designated Safeplace.
- Work Address: Check with the post room and / or colleagues to see if someone accepted the delivery.
On some occasions small delays can occur particularly during holiday season. We advise waiting a few more days after the estimated delivery timeframe.

At Minako Online, we strive to offer high-quality products and excellent customer service. To cover the costs associated with processing and shipping orders, we charge shipping fees for deliveries. These fees contribute to the smooth operation of our logistics and fulfillment processes, ensuring that your order reaches you in a timely and efficient manner.
When it comes to refunds, we want to be fair and transparent. Generally, shipping fees are non refundable. This is because the shipping fee is a separate cost that is incurred to transport and deliver the product to your designated location, regardless of the decision to return the item. We believe it is important to maintain the integrity of our shipping operations and ensure the sustainability of our business.
However, if an error occurs on our part and we have mistakenly shipped the wrong item or if there is a defect in the product, we take full responsibility. In such cases, we are committed to making things right for you. If we are at fault, we will gladly refund both the cost of the item and the original shipping fee. We believe it is only fair that we bear the cost of any errors made on our end.
We submit refund requests to customer bank or card issuer immediately. Depending on the bank’s processing time, it can take anywhere from 3-10 business days to show up on customer’s bank accounts.
