USPS Delay in Delivery
Shop LC provides a variety of shipping options for your needs. Provided shipping times are estimates only, and may be impacted by time of year, volume of orders, natural disasters, severe weather, or other unexpected service delays. Business days are Monday through Friday, and do not include weekends or federal holidays.
Due to shipment delays caused by storms across the United States, we must ask customers to wait at least 5 working days for their orders to be delivered from the last scanned date.
Note: Please sign the consumer up for all tracking updates through the USPS website. Failure to do so will be a Quality Audit Deduction.

Reminder Regarding Customer Charges from TJC-Shop LC
Never disregard a customer's report of a charge from TJC-Shop LC; it belongs to our company, not another.
If you're unable to locate the charge, escalate the matter to a supervisor.
If they're unable to find it, involve the admin team.
AMS may not always display the charge, and Vantiv won't show PayPal orders but that doesn't mean it is not from our company.
Always bear in mind that TJC-Shop LC charges originate from our company.
Always Ask Probing questions.

Return Policy
All defective items must be returned for inspection to determine if the issue is batch-related or isolated. You can inform the customer that you will proceed with reshipping or refunding the item within your empowerment, but we still require the defective item to be returned for inspection. We have specified which items do not need to be returned. Always check the TSP price even it's an RA item.
Hygiene products with a safety seal or those in contact with the body cannot be returned if the package is opened, the seal is broken, or the product is used/tested. This includes toiletries, intimates, beauty products, consumables, bedding, pet, and hair products.
Additionally, broken glass or sharp-edged items should not be sent back for the safety of our workers who handle returns.

Facebook Orders
If you encounter inquiries from customers regarding the status of their Facebook orders, kindly request their email address and order number, then proceed to search for the information in AMS.
Orders placed before April 16th will not show up in AMS. If you are unable to locate the order in AMS, initiate a case and forward it to the dispatch team for further assistance, as these orders cannot be viewed in AMS.
Some of these orders are preorders, so please reassure the customer that they will receive their orders as swiftly as possible. They will be expedited immediately upon arrival at the warehouse.
Do not escalate Facebook orders to the admin team; they should be directed to the dispatch team.
Failure to follow this procedure will result in a zero.
