This page shows you how to check your spam folder, and whitelist our sender address on the different popular e-mail providers such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail etc. to ensure delivery in a few easy steps.
(This article has been updated on April 23, 2021)
In today's digital age, there are many different e-mail providers to choose from. With unwanted e-mails becoming a larger problem, e-mail providers have made their spam filters stricter - some more than others.
Unfortunately, these stricter filters can also cause legitimate e-mails to be mistaken as spam or not delivered at all.
Even though we have taken all steps to adhere to the best sender practices such as implementing SPF, DKIM, TLS-encryption, Unsubscribe link on newsletters and similar - some users may still be impacted by strict rules and filters from their respective e-mail service.
In a few easy steps, we will show you how to check your spam folder, and whitelist our sender address to ensure delivery.
Note: We send important notifications to your e-mail address including Forgotten Password E-mails, Account Information, Order Confirmations and Newsletters with important updates. You can always unsubscribe from our newsletter by clicking "Unsubscribe" at the bottom of the e-mail, or by contacting our support representatives.
We will be covering the major e-mail providers in this article, but the general instructions should also help with other providers.
First things to look for
- Check your spam (junk) folder.
- Make sure you entered your e-mail address correctly. If you are unsure you can try to register again.
- Wait 10-15 minutes.
