The estimated time for the delivery of my GCC SIM has
passed but I still haven't receive it. What can I do?
The delay in delivery can be due to several reasons. Sometimes some destinations are difficult to reach and require an extra 5 to 10 days compared to the time indicated on our website (the time we indicate is the standard time declared by the Postal Service and Couriers). Sometimes delays can depend on customs clearance and we are unable to estimate the time required in these cases. We suggest that you wait an extra 10 business days to pass from the estimated delivery date before a report for failed delivery of your order.
