  - Delivery status
  Product delivery may be delayed due to traffic and weather conditions on the day of delivery, or due to the shipping status of the shipping company.
  Once the shipping process is completed, you will receive an email from the Rice Factory New York’s official online shop at <email@example.com> to the address you entered at the time of payment.
  If you have any questions about delivery, please contact UPS or USPS directly after checking the invoice number on the email.
  If for any reason we are unable to deliver your order from our warehouse as scheduled, we may put your order on hold or cancel your order.
  In this case, the Rice Factory New York will contact you.

  In general, it takes 1-2 working days from the date of your order, plus the following days for each area.
