Troubleshooting Tracking Issues
No updates for 10+ days on EMS
First check 17track.net and your local postal service website. If no updates anywhere, contact LitBuy support with your tracking number for investigation.
Tracking shows returned to sender
This usually indicates address issues or failed delivery attempts. Contact LitBuy immediately to arrange redelivery before the package returns to China.
Stuck at customs for over 7 days
Contact your local postal service or customs authority with your tracking number. Provide purchase proof if requested. LitBuy support can provide documentation if needed.
Package shows delivered but not received
Check with neighbors, building management, and all delivery spots. If genuinely missing, file a claim within 30 days with LitBuy and the carrier.
