1. Tracking Your Order
Makolaa provides a streamlined tracking system to keep you updated on your purchases. Once an order is placed:

- Tracking Your Package:
- Log in to your Makolaa Buyer Dashboard.
- Navigate to My Orders and select the specific order.
- Click on Track Shipment to view real-time tracking updates.
If tracking details are not provided within the required timeframe, please reach out to the seller through the Makolaa messaging system.
2. Communicating with the Seller
For order updates, modifications, or issues:
- Use Makolaa’s messaging system to contact the seller directly.
- If your order is custom-made, the seller may communicate extended processing times.
- Ensure that any delays or changes are acknowledged by both parties to avoid disputes.
3. Handling Delayed or Missing Orders
If your order is delayed beyond the estimated timeframe:
- Check the tracking information for updates.

- If you do not receive a response within 48 hours, you may escalate the issue to Makolaa Support for assistance.
If an order is missing or lost in transit:
- Contact the shipping carrier using the tracking number.
- If the issue remains unresolved, notify the seller to discuss possible solutions (e.g., reshipment or refund).
4. Refunds, Returns, and Order Issues
If you are unsatisfied with your order:
- Refer to the seller’s Return & Refund Policy before initiating a request.
- Message the seller to arrange for a return or exchange if applicable.
- If the seller does not respond or fails to resolve the issue, submit a request to Makolaa Support for mediation.
5. Seller Compliance & Order Fulfillment
Sellers are required to adhere to Makolaa’s order fulfillment policies:
- Orders must be shipped within 2 business days, unless otherwise communicated (e.g., custom orders).
- Tracking information must be uploaded to the system as proof of shipment.
- Failure to provide tracking information may result in account suspension or removal from the platform.
If a seller repeatedly fails to comply with shipping and tracking policies, they may be subject to penalties, including termination from Makolaa.
