How long do deliveries take?
Generally, your product package will be shipped from the place of origin to the Dwtea warehouse within 48 hours after the order is placed. Then, Dwtea staff will inspect and repackage it before shipping it to customers via international express, which usually takes about 6-13 days.Some countries may receive the delivery within 6 working days, depending on weather and other factors.
If an item you have ordered has a particularly long delivery time, our team will notify you in advance and give you an approximate delivery time for your item. Common reasons for slower than normal delivery times include international shipments, pre-sales, customization, and very large/heavy items such as furniture.
Here at Dwtea, we do our best to ensure that all sellers ship out within 48 hours of you placing your order. If a seller has not shipped out within 48 hours, our team will contact the seller directly for an update. Once we are notified of the reason for the delay, we will update you via support ticket (you'll receive an email and a notification on Dwtea). In the event that a seller has been unresponsive to our messages or has repeatedly given us false information on shipment times, we will request a refund on your behalf and refund you in full for your item.
If you are wishing to know more precise delivery times in advance of placing your order, you may leave us a question inquiring the delivery time. To leave a question, go to the product you wish to inquire about and click on "Q&A".

How do I return items for a refund?
As Dwtea is essentially a bridge between you, the shopper, and sellers on Tea Procurement Park, we aren’t in full control of returns and return policies. Instead, we handle communication with the sellers and do everything we can to help you return problematic items.
In most cases, we will be able to secure a full refund from the seller if you submit a return request shortly after receiving your item.
Most return issues lie with errors made by Tea Park sellers or products damaged by the not so delicate treatment of deliverymen. Whenever this is the case, action must be taken toward the accountable party.
At Dwtea we do not offer returns/refunds for items under $10 listed without an Teafinelybrewed or Dwtea Seller Badge. We also cannot offer returns for tea set, Customized gift box,masks, and other private items.
The Dwtea brand Badge ensures that the seller will have a legitimate return policy. Please note that in most cases, you will need to cover the cost of returning the item. Return address, please click here.
So, you’ve received your item eligible for a refund, and unfortunately are not completely satisfied with it. Luckily for you, Dwtea has staff trained to negotiate and fight with the most tenacious of sellers and couriers in order to get your refund.
Note: We do not coordinate product exchanges (e.g. for a change in size), but instead obtain refunds. Exchange items are not able to be tracked, and are slow to ship out as sellers wait to receive the original item. A refund provides the fastest resolution, and a new order can be placed for the desired exchange option.
Here are a few things you can can do to increase the chances of a successful return and refund:
1. Be prompt Dwtea customers are eligible for a refund/return 5 days after receiving the product. Sellers have differing return policies, but all are time sensitive. The longer you wait to return an item, the less likely it becomes for us to successfully negotiate a return and refund.
2. Provide evidence If a product arrives damaged or the item doesn’t seem to be what you purchased, then send us as much visual evidence as possible. With photo and/or video evidence, the likelihood of Dwtea securing your refund increases dramatically. If we are only given anecdotal evidence the chances are slim.
3. Keep everything intact Keep the item in the same condition as upon delivery. Once there are signs of use, sellers become much more reluctant to issue refunds. For all items, try to keep the original packaging. With clothing items, make sure that the original tags are still in place.
Check your package on arrival in the presence of the courier! If your item arrives broken or in an unsatisfactory condition, you can reject the delivery, and the liability for the broken product will fall completely on the delivery company.
Failure to reject a broken product can lead to a complicated blame game dialogue between you, the seller, the delivery company, and the mitigator, Dwtea. In this event, the refund outcome becomes uncertain.
Let’s get you that refund! To submit a return request, go to your orders page and click "Need Help?" next to the item you'd like to return. Select "I'd like to return this item for a refund" from the dropdown menu under "Request Form". Follow the directions and submit your request! After your request is submitted, our team will contact the seller and begin processing your request. We will follow up with you by email to notify you of any updates.If you have any questions, you can contact us.
Why is there no tracking on my order?
If you click to view tracking on an item you have ordered, you may occasionally see the message "Tracking is currently unavailable for this item."
There are two common reasons for this to occur:
Your item has not yet shipped out from the Dwtea Tea Park. Once the seller ships your item, they will input a tracking number, and tracking updates will begin to show. Our team monitors every order to ensure that sellers ship out within 48 hours of the order being placed. If they do not, our team will contact them and relay any updates to you via support ticket.
Global postal services will track the entire process: providing scanning and delivery information for major tracking nodes, ensuring safety and peace of mind.
