USPS

If your package may have been lost in transit, directly contacting USPS is the best way to solve the problem. 

ShipSaving is a platform offering shipping discounts, so ShipSaving does not handle packages directly. Contacting the carrier is a faster and more efficient way to investigate where your package goes.  

Please read the following information before you file a USPS claim: If your items are damaged or missing, you must file a claim no later than 60 days after the mailing date

If your package may get lost or damaged, there are two ways to reach out to USPS: 

  1. Call USPS at 1-800-275-8777 to report the package lost or damaged
