You would need to contact the store where you purchased your items as Tamara does not have any influence over the delivery.

If you could not get in touch with the retailer then please contact Tamara and we will be happy to assist you. Once you've informed us, we'll adjust your account to ensure that you won't need to make payment until the issue is resolved. 

We completely get it; we change our minds too! While we wish we could, once an order is placed, you can cancel it before 12 hrs of the order by asking our customer service; after that, we cannot alter or revoke it. Because after that, the order has most likely been processed and prepared for shipment or shipped.
We hope to have a cancellation window one day in the future.
Should the item(s) not work out, make sure to exchange for a preferred style or return for a refund. As a reminder, domestic return shipping is not free of charge.

Tamara does not approve 100% of all orders as they are committed to supporting responsible shopping habits. Tamara understands that it can be frustrating to be declined for purchase after being approved in the past. Tamara uses different factors to determine whether orders are approved, and your spending limit may vary based on the store where you are shopping. The Tamara Customer Service team cannot change the automated outcome of the approval decision.
