SHIPPING
Orders are processed in the order they are received.
In-stock items typically ship within 3–4 business days and are dispatched every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, excluding holidays.
Pre-order items ship according to the estimated production schedule shown on the product page.
Because every Chuupul Leather piece is carefully inspected and prepared before shipment, processing times may occasionally vary to ensure every order meets our quality standards.
Once your order has been accepted by the shipping carrier, delivery times are outside of Chuupul Leather's control.
Tracking information will be emailed once your order ships.
DELIVERED PACKAGES
If tracking indicates your package has been delivered, but you cannot locate it, we recommend:
-
Checking around your property
-
Asking household members or neighbors
-
Contacting the shipping carrier
Once the shipping carrier has confirmed delivery, responsibility for the package generally transfers to the recipient.
WEATHER & DELIVERY CONDITIONS
Customers are responsible for promptly retrieving delivered packages.
Chuupul Leather is not responsible for damage caused by rain, snow, excessive heat, theft, or other environmental conditions after the shipping carrier has confirmed delivery.
If your package arrives visibly damaged before opening, please photograph the package before opening it and contact Customer Experience immediately.
NATURAL LEATHER
Chuupul Leather products are handcrafted from premium full-grain leather.
Natural leather develops character over time and may include unique grain patterns, healed scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, insect bites, brands, and color variation.
These are hallmarks of authentic leather and should be celebrated as part of each piece's individuality.
They are not considered defects.
