The answers before the questions
When will it arrive? Delivery
Count on 4–12 business days from the moment you order. We take 1–2 business days to check and pack it, then it travels for 3–10 business days depending how far it has to go. Those are the windows our carriers actually meet rather than promises, and shipping is free on every order with no minimum spend. We ship within the United States only.
Shipping policyWhat if I change my mind? Returns
You have 30 days from the day it arrives. Email us before you post anything back — we reply within 24 hours on business days with the return address, and you then have 14 days to send it. Items need to be unused and in the packaging they came in. You cover return postage, except when the fault is ours: damaged, faulty, or simply the wrong item in the box. We do not run exchanges — return it and reorder, which is quicker anyway.
Return policyHow quickly am I refunded? Refunds
Your return is inspected when it reaches us and we email you the outcome. The refund goes back to whatever you paid with, within 5–7 business days. After that it is your bank's timetable — most take a further 5–10 business days before the money appears. If something arrived damaged, tell us within 48 hours of delivery and we sort it without you paying postage.
Refund policyCan I see where my parcel is? Tracking
Everything ships tracked. A number reaches you by email the moment your parcel leaves us, and you can check it on our tracking page using that number and the email address you ordered with. Carriers normally take 1–3 business days to log the first scan, so a blank result immediately after dispatch is expected. If nothing has moved for 7 business days, email us and we will chase it.
Track an orderWhat can I pay with? Payment
The methods shown at checkout and in the footer of every page are exactly what is available to you — what appears depends partly on your device and location. Everything runs over an encrypted connection and card details never touch our servers. Prices are in USD, and sales tax is calculated at checkout rather than included in the price shown.
Payment policyIs there someone I can actually talk to? Support
Yes. Email support@gutela.com or call +1 (445) 545-1683. A person reads every message — we do not run a bot on the inbox. Someone is at a desk Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (ET), and every message gets an answer within 24 hours on business days.
