What is Carbon Neutral Shipping?

From the beginning, we wanted to work with the environment in mind. We believe that caring for our planet is what everyone should do for a better future for our kids. That’s the reason why we decided to promote local and sustainability. But as we were moving forward with Closiist we had to find a way to ship eco-friendly. Being "eco-friendly" when we talk about shipment is a goal hard to reach. In fact, 10% of the global CO2 emissions are from transport and logistic.

We did some research and finally found a solution that fits us and who is America's first 100% carbon neutral shipping carrier. Its name, Sendle.

My package's tracking number indicates that it was delivered, yet it never arrived at my door. What options do I have?

We regret that you have not yet received your sustainable-goods! To begin, check your tracking number to determine where the carrier delivered the things and ask any neighbors if there are any other possible delivery locations. Because of the large volume, a package may be marked as "delivered" but arrive a few days later. If your shipment is still missing after following these steps, it may have been stolen. This is an uncommon occurrence that is beyond the Closiist team's control. You can send us a Live Chat message or contact us here.

Why did my package arrive in several boxes?

The majority of Closiist's products are sent from our New York warehouse. Some of our products, however, are shipped directly from the manufacturer. As a result, depending on the things you selected, your order may arrive in two or more boxes, with different delivery dates. However, it will always be delivered with carbon-neutral shipping, regardless of who sends it! You will receive a tracking number for each shipment if your purchases ship from various locations. If you have any questions about how or when your order will be delivered, please contact us via Live Chat.

What can I do to get free shipping?
