I placed an order, but never received an order confirmation
You should have received a confirmation e-mail instantly after placing an order. A shipping e-mail should also follow as soon as we finish processing your order. If you did not receive an email from YOYA all within a few hours of placing your order, please check your Spam folder. It is also possible that you entered the wrong e-mail address or it was misspelled when you checked out.
If you think you gave us the wrong e-mail address, please do contact us to have the necessary information sent to your correct email address.
How do I know if my item has been shipped?
Once you place an order, you will automatically receive an order confirmation e-mail.
Once your order has been processed and is ready to be shipped out from our warehouse, you will receive another e-mail with shipping information.
For express international shipments, shipping status should immediately be up within 24 hours of receiving the shipping e-mail.
My order tracking status says delivered, but I never received it
We know how important your order is. If the tracking information states that your items have been delivered but you have not received it, please check with family, helpers, the lobby receptionist, property administration office or security guards, etc. In the event they received it on your behalf. Please also check around your neighborhood in case another home received it by mistake.
We are always willing to provide assistance when this happens. However, YOYA is not responsible for packages whose signature requirement was released. We are not responsible for lost or stolen packages if delivery has been confirmed through the order tracker.
If you are still unable to locate your package that was arranged to be shipped within the Philippines, please don’t hesitate contact us. For international shipments, you must contact the shipping carrier to discuss the issue and file a claim with them. Contact Deutsche Post Group DHL (www.dhl.com). You can reach them by calling 1-800-225-5345 for domestic or international assistance.
Do you refund shipping fees?
Shipping and handling costs are non-refundable. This applies to undeliverable or refused shipments, missing, and stolen shipments.
Should you return an item purchased from us for store credit, you will only be credited for the price of the products.
How do I track my order?
For shipping within Metro Manila, once your order has been shipped, an SMS
message from Lalamove containing the tracking link will be sent to the mobile number you have provided.
For provincial shipments, simply enter your waybill tracking ID at www.lbcexpress.com. For international shipping, enter your waybill tracking http://www.dhl.com.ph/en/express/tracking.html. Please allow for 24 hours after you have received the shipping confirmation e-mail for the status to be updated.
Who will pay for customs duties and taxes?
The customer is responsible for paying customs duties and taxes levied by the respective country involved in your shipment. YOYA will not reimburse payments made for such.
Customs policies vary from country to country and we can not anticipate this. If you are unsure of charges and whether you will be affected, please inquire on your local customs office first.
I won't be at home during the delivery time. Do you need my signature?
For shipping within Metro Manila, please let us know the complete name and contact number of the person who shall receive on your behalf in case you are not home to receive the shipment. If residing in a condominium or gated residence, please inform the lobby reception or security guards of the expected delivery to avoid any inconveniences once our delivery arrives.
For shipping internationally, once the package arrives at your local shipping station, DHL will contact you via text and e-mail to inform you of your shipping schedule. In most cases, this is the next business day.
Failure to reply to DHL’s numerous notifications will signal that you allow the package to be delivered at the said time and date.
In these cases, the customer accepts full responsibility for any loss or damage to these items once there is a delivery or attempted delivery. Furthermore, the customer is responsible if their package gets redirected to our warehouse and marked as unclaimed or undeliverable due to invalid/incomplete address.
It says my package was held or returned
This usually happens for international shipments only as domestic shipping within the Philippines are more within our control. Cases like these usually happen in the event of an invalid/incorrect address or when additional fees must be paid.
DHL will notify you enough times and will give you ample time to respond to their messages. However, once they have declared that the package was rerouted, YOYA is no longer responsible for the items or any fees that you may incur because of it.
Kindly ensure that when you input your details, your shipping address and contact information are correct.
YOYA does not offer free shipping back to the customer in cases where the delivery was unsuccessful due to the negligence of the buyer.
I just realized I just put the wrong address
Kindly contact us as soon as possible. We will gladly change your shipping information for as long as your item has not yet been shipped.
In case you gave overt and obvious incomplete information, YOYA will e-mail you and hold your package until you respond. We are not responsible for any delays brought about by this scenario.
In the event that the error is not obvious and your item has already been shipped, YOYA will be charging you the additional fees we will be incurring in order to change your shipping details. This amount varies on a case-to-case basis and we will provide you with the exact invoice we receive from DHL.
I need a different shipping address from the billing address
Kindly proceed with the transaction and then message us after receiving your confirmation email. We will happily make edits to the location of your order.
Note: Please ensure to message us within 24 hours and before your order is shipped out. Any changes after this time might incur additional charges.

How do I take care of my YOYA piece?
Our pieces are created in the most luxurious yet low-maintenance fabrics and materials. To prolong the life of your YOYA pieces, we recommend the following care guide:
- Hand wash gently with cool water and light detergent. DO NOT BLEACH.
- Air-dry on hangers instead of putting them in the dryer. They will break down the fibers of the fabric and cause the garment to shrink and age prematurely.
- Iron with care. Another option is to have the garment steamed.
- Some of our customers prefer to Dry Clean their pieces for the utmost care even if it is not necessary. This is entirely up to you.
