4.Service Processes by Scenario

4.1 Order Tracking Inquiries

You email [email protected] with your order number and request for tracking updates.
Our team verifies your order status (processed, shipped, in transit) and shares the carrier’s tracking link (if shipped).
If tracking shows a delay or “delivered but not received,” we assist by contacting the carrier on your behalf to investigate.

4.2 Return/Exchange Requests

You email us within 30 days of delivery (per Section 5 of our Terms of Purchase) with your order number, reason for return/exchange, and desired resolution (refund, exchange for another size/color).
We confirm eligibility (e.g., product is unused, tags intact) and send a pre-paid return label (for U.S. orders) or return instructions.
After we receive and inspect the returned item (2–3 business days), we email you to confirm:

Refund initiation (to your original payment method); or
Shipment of your exchange item (with a new tracking link).

4.3 Defective Product Claims

You email us within 7 days of delivery (per Section 7 of our Terms of Purchase) with your order number, photos of the defect (e.g., manufacturing error, shipping damage), and preferred resolution (replacement, refund, store credit).
Our team reviews the claim and confirms eligibility within 1 business day.
We resolve the issue by:

Shipping a replacement product at no cost;
Processing a full refund (no need to return the defective item in most cases); or
Issuing a store credit (if you prefer).

4.4 Complaints & Escalations

If you’re unsatisfied with initial support, you can request to escalate your issue by replying to our email and noting “Escalation Request.”
A senior customer service representative will review your case within 1 business day and provide a detailed resolution plan (e.g., adjusted refund timelines, additional compensation for inconvenience).
We follow up with you 3–5 days after resolving the issue to ensure you’re satisfied with the outcome.

5. Special Circumstances

High-Volume Periods: During peak times (e.g., Black Friday, holiday seasons), response times may extend to 48 business hours – we’ll post a notice on our site’s homepage to keep you informed.
Carrier Delays: If shipping delays are caused by factors beyond our control (e.g., weather, carrier labor issues), we’ll work with the carrier to expedite resolution but cannot guarantee specific delivery times.
Product Discontinuation: If a product you want is discontinued, we’ll suggest similar Buck Mason items that match your preferences (e.g., similar fabric, style).

6. Commitment to Service Improvement

We regularly review customer feedback to enhance our service. If you have suggestions for how we can improve (e.g., adding a phone support line, expanding FAQ resources), please share them via [email protected] – your input helps us better serve the Buckmasoac community.
