Please do not worry; we will do our best to ensure that all packages arrive as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, problems can sometimes arise. If your package is delayed or cannot be delivered, simply send us an email at au@minisforum.com, and we will find a solution.
If the tracking shows the delivery status and you still cannot find your package, and after 24 hours you still cannot find it, please contact us and we will file a claim on your behalf.
Sometimes delivery services scan the wrong package upon delivery, and they usually find the error and correct it the next day. While waiting for the delivery person, we recommend checking behind bushes, on the back porch, or other places where the driver may have tried to hide the package out of sight from the street. It's also a good idea to check with a neighbor (or the rental office of the residential complex).
