Order & Shipping FAQs
Order and shipping questions, answered. For costs, speeds and free shipping thresholds see the shipping page. For returns and anything broken see the Teak Guarantee. New to fingerboarding? Try our fingerboarding FAQs.
Tracking your order
Where is my tracking number?
If you gave an email address or phone number when you ordered, tracking is sent to you automatically the moment your order ships. Check your spam folder if you don't see it.
Still nothing? Email shop@teaktuning.com and we'll resend it.
When exactly will my package arrive?
The carrier's website has the same information we do, updated faster. Search your tracking number there for the current estimate. If you can't find your tracking number, contact us and we'll send it.
The Shop app says my package is at a random address near me
That map location is approximated and often wrong by a street or two. Use your tracking number on the carrier's own website for the real status.
Why has my order not shipped yet?
We ship within one business day, so if it has been longer, we're usually waiting on you. The most common reasons are an out of stock item we emailed you about, or a problem with your address. Check your email, including spam.
During holiday weeks, shipping can take two to three business days. Preorders and made-to-order items ship on the timeline listed on their product page.
Delivery problems
My package was due today and it has not arrived
Carriers sometimes mark a package as out for delivery, or even delivered, a little ahead of the truck actually arriving. Give it one full business day past the estimated date before worrying.
Still missing after that? Email us. Lost in transit is covered by the Teak Guarantee.
I paid for 2 day shipping and it took four days
Shipping speed is counted from when the package leaves us, not from when you place the order. That's standard across ecommerce. We ship within one business day and never on weekends, so a Friday afternoon order on a 2 day service typically arrives Tuesday.
If the carrier delayed it beyond their own commitment, that's outside our control and not refundable by us. If we shipped it by the wrong method, or sat on it for no good reason, email us and we'll refund the shipping difference.
My package arrived in two boxes
Apparel and printed merch are made and shipped by a separate partner, so they travel on their own. An order mixing merch with regular product arrives as two deliveries with two tracking numbers. You aren't charged twice.
Something arrived broken, or not what I expected
Covered. The Teak Guarantee handles anything broken, defective, lost, or not as described, for 90 days after delivery. Email shop@teaktuning.com and we'll replace it, refund it, or make it right.
Changes and cancellations
I entered the wrong address
Email us immediately at shop@teaktuning.com. If the order has not shipped, we can fix it.
Once it has shipped we can't change it. You'd need to contact the carrier directly, or wait for it to come back to us so we can resend it. We can't cover packages lost to an incorrect or incomplete address.
I need to cancel my order
Email us right away. Because we ship within one business day, the window is short, but we'll cancel it if it has not gone out.
Payment and billing
I never got an order confirmation
Confirmations go to the email address entered at checkout, so check for a typo there and check your spam folder. If it's genuinely missing, email us and we'll confirm the order and resend it.
My order was declined but I know my address is right
This is almost always a mismatch between your billing address and what your bank has on file, and only your bank can resolve it. We never see the reason for a decline.
I was charged but my order didn't go through
When a payment is declined, banks often hold the funds briefly before releasing them, which looks like a charge. It normally clears on its own within a few business days. If it doesn't, contact your bank.
My order was cancelled for fraud and it wasn't fraud
Orders get flagged automatically for a range of reasons. To reinstate one, we need to verify your identity by phone or with valid matching information on the order. Until that happens, further orders will keep getting cancelled.
The best prevention is using your own accurate billing details, matching your card.
Products
When will this be back in stock?
Use the Notify Me When Available button on the product page. That's the fastest way to know, and often we genuinely don't have a date yet.
Which setup should I buy?
Start with finding the right complete, or which complete is right for me. If you're brand new, our new to fingerboarding page is the better starting point.
How do I put it together?
See how to assemble your fingerboard. If your board came with upgraded bushings, here's where they go.
Can I have a free product?
If we could hand everyone a fingerboard so the whole world could shred, we would. We're a small company though, so no.
Sponsorship and reviews
Will you sponsor me?
Possibly, but sponsorship isn't just good tricks and a good edit. We look for people who have contributed to fingerboarding over time, bringing energy, style and integrity to the scene, and who did the work before asking.
If that sounds like you, reach out and tell us what you've been doing.
Will you send me product to review?
Same answer as above. It's less about audience size than about whether how you present yourself lines up with what we're trying to be.
Email shop@teaktuning.com or use the chat on our contact page. We usually come back within a few hours on weekdays.
