(Shipping Problems)
Tracking information won't always be available
Below are some reasons why your tracking information is not available:
- The first package scan is sometimes upon arrival at a regional carrier hub near the package destination. This is common place when shipping volume is higher than usual and packages are processed in large quantities. Before the first scan, the carrier may not show receipt of the package.
- The first package scan sometimes is not available until delivery.
- Some shipments, I.E. International Shipping, are not trackable.
About Orders That Can't Be Changed
If your order has shipped and cannot be modified, you may refuse the package or return it using our Online Returns Center.
If the package will not reach you because of an incorrect address, it will be returned to us as undeliverable and you will need to place a new order.
You can find tracking information in your My Account / Order Details
Tracking within your account.
If tracking on your order is available, you can track your package inside your account on the specific order's detail page. The shipping method, tracking number and carrier for your package will be listed in your account and in your shipment notification e-mail. If you need to contact the carrier, you can find contact information by going to the carriers website.
Occasionally packages are returned to us as undeliverable. When the carrier returns an undeliverable package to us we will hold your package for up to
Orders that are returned to us as undeliverable are not able to be re-shipped until payment has been made for shipping services again. If you would like to claim your packages that are listed you will have 15 calendar days to retrieve said materials. If more than 15 calendar days elapses the order is considered abandoned and Kern Services has the right to discard materials, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.
If you suspect your order cannot be delivered as it currently is address and / or you have not received confirmation of its return or refund after 1 week from the estimated delivery date, please contact us.
Cancelled orders require compensation for incurred costs and related obligations at the time of cancellation
Due to the speed of our turnaround, you may only cancel a job the same business day you place your order. The cancellation must occur before the cutoff time that applies to your order and the related product(s) that were ordered. A minimum charge of $35 + 3% of total job cost (includes shipping) is applied to jobs canceled. No refunds will be issued for orders cancelled after the business day order was placed. In those instances we will issue store credit.
Issued Refunds
If a refund is issued it can take up to 12 days for the funds to be released back to your account, we have no control over this process and it cannot be expedited.
How to change my order information
If you need to make a change to your order please do NOT place another order we can make the changes for you. Please fill out the callback form below and choose the change an order checkbox to notify us that you need to make a change to the order(s) details.
When placing your order make sure that the Card Number, Expiration Date, and Billing Address are correct
In the event that one of these are input incorrectly your bank will put a Pending Charge on your bill but this is not an approval. Once a Non-Approved Pending Charge is populated on your Credit Card Statement it can take a number of days to be released. This is not something that we can change and you will have to contact your bank to find out more details on their Pending Charge release policy.
Damaged or Defective Items Policy
What to do if your item(s) are damaged or contain defects.Kern Services is not responsible for delays and/or damage incurred during shipping. Title for finished work passes to the customer upon delivery to the carrier at shipping point; or upon mailing of invoices for the finished work or its segments, whichever comes first. If the "pickup" option is selected when the order is originally placed you will have 15 calendar days to retrieve materials. If more than 15 calendar days elapses the order is considered abandoned and Kern Services has the right to discard materials, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.

- Look for a attempt of delivery notice from the carrier
- Look around the area of the delivery location for your package
- See if a neighbor or someone else else accepted the delivery on your behalf

Tracking Doesn't Match Carrier's Website
It's common place to see variations in the tracking information listed in Your account and the details on a carrier's website. Every carrier uses their own terminology to indicate different shipment states.
Here are a few examples:
| Carrier Tracking Says | Kern Services Tracking Says | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| UPS: "A UPS shipping label has been created" | Shipment has left seller facility and is in transit | The shipment has left the Kern Services or merchant fulfillment center. |
| USPS: "Notice left" | Delivery Attempted | A delivery attempt was made for your package. |
| UPS: "Same Day Will Call" | Available for pickup | The package is available for pickup at the carrier's facility. |
