Here is the play:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>You place the order. A confirmation email lands with your order number and a summary of what you typed: size, name, number and any front number.</li>\n<li>Your kit goes into production after the 24-hour change window closes. Processing takes 1–3 business days.</li>\n<li>The parcel ships. We email you a tracking link at that moment.</li>\n<li>You tap the link any time to see where the parcel is, all the way to your door.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>That is the whole system. The tracking email is your key. Keep it handy until the parcel arrives.</p>\n<h2>2. Find your order number</h2>\n<p>Your order number is in the confirmation email we send right after checkout. It is usually in the subject line and again near the top of the message. If you cannot find that email:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Search your inbox for &#8220;Kitwave&#8221; or &#8220;kitwave.shop&#8221;.</li>\n<li>Check spam, junk, promotions and updates folders.</li>\n<li>Make sure you are looking in the inbox for the email you typed at checkout. A typo there sends every email somewhere else.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Still nothing? Email us from any address with your full name, shipping address and roughly when you ordered. We will find the order and resend the details.</p>\n<h2>3. The timeline, step by step</h2>\n<table class=\"policy-table\">\n<caption>From checkout to your door</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Stage</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">How long</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">What you get</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Order placed</td>\n<td>Instant</td>\n<td>Confirmation email with your order number</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Change window</td>\n<td>24 hours from ordering</td>\n<td>Email us to cancel or change size, name or number</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Processing</td>\n<td>1–3 business days</td>\n<td>Your name and number are printed and the kit is packed</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Shipped</td>\n<td>The day it leaves</td>\n<td>Shipping email with your tracking link</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>In transit</td>\n<td>7–14 business days</td>\n<td>Live updates through the tracking link</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Delivered</td>\n<td>End of transit</td>\n<td>Parcel at your address</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Put it together and most orders arrive roughly 8 to 17 business days after checkout. Business days are Monday to Friday, not counting public holidays. Weekends do not count toward processing or transit.</p>\n<h2>4. What each order status means</h2>\n<table class=\"policy-table\">\n<caption>Order and tracking status guide</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Status</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">What it means</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">What you do</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Pending payment</td>\n<td>The payment has not been completed yet.</td>\n<td>Finish checkout or try another payment option shown there.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Processing</td>\n<td>Payment went through. Your kit is in production or about to be.</td>\n<td>Nothing. Within 24 hours of ordering you can still email changes.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Shipped</td>\n<td>The parcel has left. Your tracking link has been emailed.</td>\n<td>Open the link. Early scans can take a short while to show.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>In transit</td>\n<td>The parcel is moving between hubs.</td>\n<td>Check the link now and then. Gaps of a few days between scans are normal.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Out for delivery</td>\n<td>The parcel is on the local delivery route.</td>\n<td>Make sure someone can receive it, or that it can be left safely.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Delivered</td>\n<td>The carrier marked the parcel as delivered.</td>\n<td>Open it, check the name and number. Something wrong? Email us.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Delivery exception</td>\n<td>The carrier hit a snag: address issue, no access, held at a depot.</td>\n<td>Read the note in tracking and email us with your order number.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cancelled</td>\n<td>The order was cancelled, by your request or by us.</td>\n<td>Your refund goes back to the original payment method.</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<h2>5. &#8220;My tracking has not updated&#8221;</h2>\n<p>Tracking can look quiet even when your kit is moving. A few common reasons:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Just shipped:</strong> the first scan can take a little while to appear after the shipping email.</li>\n<li><strong>Crossing borders:</strong> parcels to Canada, Australia and New Zealand can go quiet while they move between countries and through customs.</li>\n<li><strong>Weekends and holidays:</strong> fewer scans happen on non-business days.</li>\n<li><strong>Between hubs:</strong> a parcel on a long leg may not be scanned until it lands.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If the tracking has not moved for a while, or the 7–14 business day transit window has passed, email us. Send your order number and a short note. We will look into it and tell you what happens next.</p>\n<h2>6. Late or missing parcels</h2>\n<p>Transit takes 7–14 business days after shipping. If that window has passed and your kit is still not there, or tracking shows delivered but you cannot find it, here is what to do:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Check around: porch, mailbox, building reception, neighbours, a side door.</li>\n<li>Look for a delivery notice card or a note in the tracking about a pickup point.</li>\n<li>Email <!--email_off--><a href=\"mailto:support@kitwave.shop\">support@kitwave.shop</a><!--/email_off--> with your order number and what the tracking shows.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>We will look into it with you and help sort it out. You are not left chasing a carrier on your own. For the full shipping picture, see <a href=\"/shipping-delivery/\">Shipping and Delivery</a>.</p>\n<h2>7. Wrong address? Act fast</h2>\n<p>Spotted a typo in your address? Email us right away with your order number and the correct address. Within 24 hours of ordering we can update it before the kit ships. After it ships, the parcel follows the label, so contact us as soon as you notice and we will help however we can.</p>\n<h2>8. Orders with more than one item</h2>\n<p>Ordered a jersey, matching shorts and a pair of socks? Or five custom jerseys for your squad? Each tracking link we email shows the parcel it belongs to. If your order ships in more than one parcel, you may get more than one tracking email. Check every shipping email before you assume an item is missing. If something is not in any parcel when the last one arrives, email us with your order number and the item name.</p>\n<h2>9. Changing or cancelling before it ships</h2>\n<p>You have 24 hours from ordering to cancel or change your order by email: size, name on back, number, front number, or the shipping address. After that the kit is in production, because every Kitwave kit is printed with exactly what you typed. The rules and examples live on <a href=\"/cancel-change-order/\">Cancel or Change an Order</a>.</p>\n<h2>10. When it arrives</h2>\n<p>Open the parcel and check it against your order confirmation:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Right product and colour.</li>\n<li>Right size.</li>\n<li>Name and number exactly as typed. We print what is in the field, so a spelling in the order is the spelling on the jersey.</li>\n<li>On reversible kits, the name and number on both sides.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If something is damaged, wrong or not what you ordered, email us with your order number and a photo. Photos you send are only used for your order and are deleted 30 days after delivery.</p>\n<p>Changed your mind, or the size is off? Returns are open for 60 days from delivery, personalised items included, and we send a free return label. Once we receive the return, the refund is issued within 7 days, or you can choose store credit that never expires. Steps on <a href=\"/returns-exchanges-policy/\">Returns and Exchanges</a>; money details on the <a href=\"/refund-policy/\">Refund Policy</a>.</p>\n<h2>11. Import duties for Canada, Australia and New Zealand</h2>\n<p>Orders ship from the USA. For parcels heading to Canada, Australia or New Zealand, import duties or local charges, if any, depend on the destination country. If the carrier asks for a charge at delivery, or you have a question about one, email us and we will help however we can.</p>\n<h2>12. Keep your tracking safe</h2>\n<p>Your tracking link shows where your parcel is heading. Do not post it in public. Kitwave only ever contacts you from <!--email_off--><a href=\"mailto:support@kitwave.shop\">support@kitwave.shop</a><!--/email_off-->. We do not send texts or call, and we will never ask you to pay a &#8220;delivery fee&#8221; through a link. If a message like that shows up claiming to be us, do not click it, and forward it to our support address.</p>\n<h2>13. Tracking scenarios</h2>\n<h3>&#8220;I ordered last night and there is no tracking yet.&#8221;</h3>\n<p>Totally normal. Your order is in the 24-hour change window, then 1–3 business days of processing. The tracking link only exists once the parcel ships, and it lands in your inbox at that moment.</p>\n<h3>&#8220;Tracking says delivered but there is nothing at my door.&#8221;</h3>\n<p>Give it until the end of the day; carriers sometimes scan early. Check with neighbours, building staff and any parcel locker. If it still has not turned up, email us with your order number and we will look into it with you.</p>\n<h3>&#8220;I need the jerseys for a tournament on a specific date.&#8221;</h3>\n<p>Count it out: 1–3 business days of processing plus 7–14 business days of transit, so plan for up to 17 business days from checkout. Order with room to spare. If the date is tight, email us before ordering and we will tell you honestly whether it is realistic.</p>\n<h3>&#8220;I am in New Zealand and tracking stopped after it left the US.&#8221;</h3>\n<p>International parcels often go quiet while they cross borders and clear customs, then pick up again once a local carrier scans them. If there is still no movement after the 7–14 business day window, email us.</p>\n<h3>&#8220;I sent the jersey as a gift to another address.&#8221;</h3>\n<p>The tracking link goes to the email used at checkout, so you can follow it for them. Forward the link to the recipient if you want them to watch too.</p>\n<h3>&#8220;My tracking link does not open.&#8221;</h3>\n<p>Try copying it into a different browser, or wait a little and try again, since new labels sometimes take time to activate. Still broken? Reply to the shipping email or write to us with your order number, and we will send the details again.</p>\n<h3>&#8220;I moved after ordering.&#8221;</h3>\n<p>Email us at once with your order number and new address. Inside the 24-hour window we can update it before the kit goes into production. Once it has shipped, tell us anyway and we will help however we can.</p>\n<h2>14. Why there is no account login to track</h2>\n<p>We keep tracking simple on purpose. Every order gets its tracking link by email when it ships, so you do not need a password or an app to follow it. If you prefer to check in with us, a single email with your order number gets you a status update from a person, not a bot.</p>\n<h2>15. Before you email, a 30-second check</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Has the 24-hour change window plus 1–3 business days of processing passed? If not, no tracking yet is expected.</li>\n<li>Did you search every inbox folder for the shipping email?</li>\n<li>Is the transit time still inside 7–14 business days from the ship date, not from the order date?</li>\n<li>Did you check every parcel and shipping email, if you ordered several items?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If the answer to all of these is yes and something still looks off, write to us. That is exactly what we are here for, and one clear email usually gets it settled in a single reply.</p>\n<h2>16. What to put in your email</h2>\n<p>To get the quickest answer about an order, include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your order number.</li>\n<li>The name on the order and the email used at checkout.</li>\n<li>What the tracking link shows right now, or a screenshot.</li>\n<li>What you need: an update, an address fix, a missing item, a problem on arrival.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>We reply within 24 hours on business days.
