Absolutely! Our Customer Care team can help you place an order over the phone Monday-Friday 8:30 am – 4:30 pm PST. Please note however that we cannot redeem loyalty rewards for you over the phone. If you wish to cash in rewards points you will need to place your order at Artofskincare.com. Our Customer Care team can walk you through the process if you are unsure!

First, check-in with your neighbors or around your front door. You would be surprised how many packages are found hiding in a bush! Next, try contacting your local post office. Many times, your package will be sitting on a shelf there waiting for you and the postal worker forgot to leave a note. If you purchased Route Insurance you can file a claim, though they also have a short waiting period after the declared delivery to make sure it doesn't turn up a day or two late.
