*UPS Low on drivers and have received more last minute shipments putting them 1-2 weeks out. 

CAN I STILL PURCHASE FROM YOUR WEBSITE?

Yes!  We’re currently still able to accept orders and ship internationally. We’d recommend ordering to addresses that you know you’ll be able to access, such as your home, as opposed to business addresses that may have restricted access. 

WHEN WILL I GET MY ORDER?

We are assuming that orders placed before December 18th, should arrive on time, but cannot make any promises. This cutoff impacts everyone and is out of our hands. 

 

ARE YOU GUYS SHIPPING AS NORMAL?

We’re trying to. Minor delays are happening internationally.

Our most recent update is that we're currently only shipping from our Fulfillment centers from Monday to Friday. However, we'll be catching up on weekend orders at the start of the week, so it may take a few days for you to receive your shipping confirmation email. So don't panic, we've received your order & are working as quickly as we can to dispatch it, without compromising the safety of our team.

We’ll be sure to communicate any significant delays with you using the email address that you enter at checkout.

**U.S.A.: Unfortunately, we're experiencing the longest delays on your orders. Our fulfillment center is working hard to get through the backlog, but due to increased volumes & reduced staffing levels, it's taking a while. Please don't be concerned if your tracking doesn't update for a few days. Your parcel is still on its way to you.

 

CAN I CHANGE MY DELIVERY ADDRESS?

We understand that you may now need to amend your delivery addresses, and some couriers have a self-service option that allows you to do this.
If this option is available to you, it’ll be included in the tracking information sent to you when your order’s left the warehouse. If the option isn’t available on your tracking link, then the courier doesn’t have the ability to do this.
Fortunately, the Thomas Amari Support Team is able to amend the delivery address of your order once it’s been placed so just message us referencing your order #. 

 

SO WHAT IF I’M NOT THERE TO RECEIVE MY PACKAGE?

If you can’t change your delivery address, and no one else can accept the delivery, it will be returned to us and you’ll be refunded in full.
The courier may leave your order in a safe place at the address if it’s student accommodation or your place of work, for example, so we’ve extended the returns period to accommodate for that!
 

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO RETURN?

Our advice on returns at the moment is to not rush. We’ve extended our returns policy to 90 days to give everyone plenty of time to return items to us when it’s safe to do so. Please check and follow the restrictions set by your local government, which may reduce the operating systems and hours of your local drop-off points or classify returning items as non-essential travel. Thank you; stay safe.

HAS COVID-19 IMPACTED THOMAS AMARI'S SUPPLY CHAIN?

Currently, our production operations have been impacted by the spread of COVID-19. We’re monitoring the situation very closely, working with local authorities in affected regions and following the advice of the World Health Organisation. The welfare and health of our suppliers are a top priority for us. Should the authorities recommend taking additional action, we’ll be sure to follow their guidance.

WHAT ARE THOMAS AMARI DOING TO ENSURE THE SAFETY & WELLBEING OF STAFF WITHIN OUR BUSINESS & OUR SUPPLY CHAIN?

The Thomas Amari family will always be a priority, and we’re doing all we can to protect the safety and wellbeing of our family across the world, while continuing to provide the best Thomas Amari experience possible, as safely as we can.
 
For now, working from home has become the everyday norm for our entire team, with the only exceptions to this being the team members with’ business critical’ roles who must be physically present in our offices. This is a very small percentage of our entire team and we are strictly following official advice to uphold social distancing and the highest standards of hygiene for this key group. Our offices across the world have made operational changes, too - including more regular cleaning, entry/exit control and restrictions in common areas – to protect the wellbeing of anyone and everyone in the offices.

Our attitude and approach is exactly the same throughout our supply chain. We’ve increased focus on our distribution centers to maximize safety, enforcing social distancing and minimize the spread of COVID-19. Ensuring the highest possible customer experience has always been our main driving force. In these times the health and safety of people throughout our supply chain must be our priority, so this may mean a slight delay to orders, but we trust you’ll understand, and support, the steps we’re taking in these global circumstances.

Thomas Amari is operating as safely as we can, while giving our best to operate at the highest standards we can. We’re taking every opportunity to offer our team support and guidance as closely as possible, even while separated by distance. In true Thomas Amari style.
 
Our message to the Thomas Amari family is simple: Stay Home. Stay Safe. Save Lives.
 
We’re stronger when we pull together.
