Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to the BlueStars Help Center. Below are answers to the questions our customers ask most often. If you need help with a specific order, contact us with your order number and we will assist you as soon as possible.
Tracking Order
How do I track my order?
Once your order ships, you will receive a shipment confirmation email with your tracking number. You can use that number on the carrier's website to follow your package at any time. No additional app or account is needed to track your order. The most up to date shipment information is always sent to the email address used to place the order, and we provide tracking details only to that email address.
When should I expect my order to arrive?
Orders go through internal processing within 1 to 2 business days before being handed to the carrier. After that, Standard Shipping takes 3 to 5 business days and Expedited Shipping takes 2 to 3 business days. Orders are not processed on weekends or holidays. Delivery timelines are estimates and may be affected by weather, carrier delays, or other external factors.
My tracking number is not showing any updates. What does that mean?
Tracking information can take some time to appear in the carrier's system after a label is created. If your tracking link still shows no movement after 2 to 3 business days, we recommend contacting the carrier directly. You can also reach out to us with your order number and we will check the shipment status for you.
My order has not shipped yet. Why?
Your order is likely still within the 1 to 2 business day processing window. If that window has passed and you have not received a shipment confirmation, contact us and we will review the status of your order.
Do I need the Shop app to track my order?
No. Shop is not a BlueStars application and downloading it is entirely optional. We recommend using the direct tracking link included in your shipment confirmation email, as it takes you straight to the carrier's own tracking page and shows the most accurate and current status of your package. You can also enter the tracking number directly on the carrier's website.
Tracking shows my order as delivered, but I have not received it.
Delivery scans are sometimes recorded slightly ahead of the actual drop-off, and packages are often left in a mailbox, at a side or back door, with a neighbor, or with a building manager. We recommend checking these locations first and waiting an additional day. If the package still does not appear, contacting the carrier directly is usually the fastest option. You can also reach out to us with your order number and we will look into it with the carrier.
Which carriers do you use?
We ship with Amazon Logistics, USPS, UPS, FedEx, and other carriers depending on the delivery location and the warehouse fulfilling your order. The carrier is selected based on the delivery address and the shipping option chosen at checkout.
Do you charge any additional shipping fees?
BlueStars does not add any fees of its own. Shipping charges are set by the carrier and are calculated and displayed at checkout before you complete your order. Once an order has been sent to shipment, shipping costs are no longer refundable.
Return Order
What is your return policy?
Items may be returned within 30 days of delivery. To be eligible, the part must be unused, in its original condition, and in its original packaging with the SKU label intact.
How do I start a return?
Email support@bluestarsparts.com with your order number and the reason for the return. Clear photos are required for every return request. The photos must show the current condition of the part, its original packaging and SKU label, and every part included in the kit if you purchased a kit or multi item pack. Requests submitted without these photos take longer to review. Normally, our team reviews complete return requests within 1 business day.
Who pays for return shipping?
Return shipping is generally the customer's responsibility. If you received an incorrect item or the item has a confirmed defect, BlueStars will cover the return shipping cost.
Can I return only one unit from a kit?
No. Kits and multi item packs are sold as a single product, so individual components within a kit are not eligible for return on their own. The complete kit must be returned together, with all items in their original condition and packaging. If only one component of your kit arrived damaged or missing, contact us with photos and we will review the best option for your case.
Can I return a part that has already been installed or used?
Installed or used parts are outside our standard return conditions. If the part stopped working or appears defective, please contact us with photos or a short video along with a description of the issue, and we will review the case under our warranty policy.
Can I exchange a part instead of returning it?
Yes. Send us your appliance model number and photos of the part you received, and we will check whether we carry a compatible replacement before arranging the exchange. Exchanges are available only for parts that meet the same condition requirements as a return, meaning unused, in original condition, and in original packaging with the SKU label intact.
What if my part arrived damaged, incomplete, or incorrect?
Contact us within 72 hours of receipt with photos of the shipping box, the shipping label, and the item you received. If a kit arrived incomplete, please include photos of every item that came in the package. Keep all packaging materials until the claim is reviewed.
Refund
When will I receive my refund?
Once your return is delivered to our facility and inspected, we notify you of the outcome and process the refund. Approved refunds are credited back to your original payment method within a few business days, depending on your bank.
What is included in a refund?
Refunds cover the item price and applicable tax. Original shipping charges are generally non-refundable, though certain cases may qualify for an exception after review.
My refund has not appeared yet. What should I do?
Refunds can take a few business days to post after they are issued. We recommend checking your account statement first, then contacting your card issuer, as posting times vary by bank. If it still has not appeared after 7 business days, contact us with your order number and we will confirm the refund details on our end.
Can the refund be sent to a different card or account?
Refunds are issued to the original payment method used at checkout. For security purposes, sending a refund to a different card or account is not an available option.
Can I get a partial refund instead of returning the item?
In some situations, such as a missing component from a kit, a partial refund may be an appropriate solution. Contact us with photos of what you received and we will review the best option for your case.
Cancellation
Can I cancel my order?
Cancellation is available while the order is still being processed and has not yet been handed over to the carrier. Contact us as soon as possible with your order number so we can check the shipment status. Please note that emails are answered within 6 working hours due to current order and support volume. Our team is working to shorten that window, and in most cases we reply shortly after your email arrives.
How do I request a cancellation?
Email support@bluestarsparts.com from the email address used to place the order, and include your order number. We will confirm once the cancellation is completed. Requests sent from a different email address require additional verification, which can slow the process. In those cases, the order may already move into processing before the change can be applied, and we may be unable to complete the requested update.
My order already shipped. Can it still be canceled?
Once tracking has been generated, the shipment is already with the carrier and can no longer be stopped. In that case, you may accept the delivery and start a return, and we will process the refund for the item price and tax once the part is received.
How long does a refund take after a cancellation?
The amount is credited back to your original payment method within a few business days, depending on your bank.
Do I have to give a reason for canceling?
Not at all. Sharing a reason is completely optional, though it does help us improve our service.
Information Update
Can I change the shipping address after placing my order?
Contact us immediately after placing the order. Address changes are possible only while the order is still being processed. Once the order has been transferred to the carrier, the address can no longer be updated, and you may contact the carrier directly for faster assistance.
I entered an incomplete or incorrect address. What happens now?
Let us know right away with your order number and the corrected address. We will place the order on hold where possible and confirm the update with you before the package ships. Once the order has been sent to shipment, address changes can no longer be processed on our end, and you may contact the carrier directly for further assistance.
Can I update my email address or phone number on an order?
Yes. Send us the correct details from the email address used to place the order, and we will update the contact information associated with that order. Please note that order updates continue to be sent to the email address registered on the order, and that requesting a change may extend the processing time.
Can I change my billing address?
Billing details on a completed order cannot be edited in our system. You can update your billing information in your account so it applies to future purchases.
Can I add, remove, or swap items on an existing order?
Yes, as long as you contact us before the order is sent to shipment. Depending on the price of the new item, an additional payment may be required or a portion of your payment may be credited back to your original payment method. If you prefer, we can also cancel the order while it is still unshipped so you are free to place a new one with the correct items.
Why do you ask me to confirm information before making changes?
To protect your account, we verify ownership before releasing order details or making changes. If you contact us from an email address other than the one used to place the order, we will ask you to reply from the registered email or provide proof of purchase.
Warranty
Do BlueStars parts come with a warranty?
Yes. BlueStars provides warranty support for eligible products purchased directly from our store or through our authorized sales channels. Coverage is based on the time elapsed since the original purchase date. Full details are available on our Terms of Service page.
What does the warranty cover?
The warranty covers manufacturing defects. It does not cover damage from improper installation, incorrect usage, accidents, misuse, modifications, unauthorized repair attempts, products purchased from unauthorized sellers, or products without sufficient proof of purchase.
How do I file a warranty claim?
Email support@bluestarsparts.com with your original order number, a detailed description of the issue, and clear photos or a video showing the defect or malfunction. Claims submitted without supporting evidence may take longer to review or may not be accepted.
How long does a warranty claim take?
We review the evidence provided and update you as soon as possible. Once a claim is validated and approved, the refund for the original order is processed within 10 business days.
The part does not fit my appliance. Is that a warranty issue?
Fitment concerns are handled separately from warranty claims. Send us your appliance model number and photos of the part you received, and we will check compatibility and advise on the best option.
Payment Troubleshooting
My payment was declined. What should I do?
Declines usually come from the card issuer rather than our store. Common causes include a mismatch between the billing address and the card on file, incorrect card details, insufficient available funds, or a routine security block. We recommend reviewing the details entered at checkout, trying an alternative payment method, or contacting your bank for confirmation.
I was charged but did not receive an order confirmation.
This is often a temporary authorization hold rather than a completed charge, and it typically clears on its own. Contact us with the email address used at checkout and the amount, and we will check whether an order was created on our side.
I see more than one charge for the same order.
Repeated checkout attempts can create temporary authorization holds that are released by the bank after a few business days. If a duplicate charge remains on your statement, contact us with your order number and we will review it.
Which payment methods do you accept?
All available payment options, including major credit and debit cards, are displayed at checkout.
Is my payment information secure?
Yes. Payments are handled through our secure checkout, and BlueStars never asks for card numbers, PINs, or security codes by email, chat, or phone.
Can I pay for an order over email or by phone?
For your security, our team does not process payments manually or collect payment details directly. All orders are completed through our secure checkout.
