Frequently Asked Questions
Placing an Order
How do I place an order?
You do not need to create an account to make a purchase. However, we recommend that you set up a Kōraru account in order to manage all aspects of your account including address details and reviewing your order history.You will also receive custom recommendations and exclusive offers made only for our members.
How Long does it take for my order to be fulfilled?
Typically, it takes between 1-5 business days to fulfill an order. Once your order has been fulfilled, an email will be sent confirming the shipment and containing the tracking number. All orders are processed weekdays Monday through Friday and are dispatched the following business day. Please advise of a phone number when ordering which you can be contacted at upon delivery.
What happens if my order is delayed?
We will provide a tracking number once your order has been shipped and you will find it in your e-mail. If a shipment has been sent but is not received, you must contact the shipping company. We will do our best to assist you through it. Please understand that sometimes delays in shipping may occur for which Koraru is not responsible and cannot help in any way.
Can I cancel or amend any of my order details?
Once an order is placed, we start processing it right away. If you receive an e-mail from Kōraru saying your order has been processed and a tracking number, it means the order is already on its way and nothing can be changed. In that case, the order has to be returned and a new order must be made. If you haven't received news from us, it means we are still processing other orders but we will get to your order as soon as we can. In this time, if you have any alterations or changes, you can contact us on our contact page and we will do our best to assist. Please note that we have to charge an Order Alteration Fee due to handling fees.
