WHY HAVE I NOT RECEIVED AN ORDER CONFIRMATION?
Some e-mail services incorrectly flag automated messages from our servers as spam – if you don´t receive anything, please check your spam folders first. You may also accidentally have provided an incorrect e-mail address – in this case please contact our Order-Support on shoponline@hometrends.com.mt to check whether we received your order.
DO I RECEIVE AN INVOICE FOR MY ORDER?
Yes. You will receive an invoice and receipt with your product when it is delivered to you.
I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED MY DELIVERY, ALTHOUGH THE STATED DELIVERY TIME HAS PASSED.
On rare occasions or in remote areas there sometimes might be a delay. HomeTrends unfortunately has no influence on this. If the announced shipping times are exceeded significantly, please contact our Order-Support on shoponline@hometrends.com.mt with your order number or call us on +356 21445654.
DO I HAVE TO PAY A CUSTOMS DUTY FOR THE GOODS ?
After a shipment reaches your country it might be subject to import duties and taxes. Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they might be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country, contact your local customs office for further information. To facilitate the customs process, we reserve the right to inform customs of the value of goods within the packages. For the same reason, customs officials are permitted to open packages. HomeTrends has no influence over this procedure.
