Frequently Asked Questions
Q: The Apple adapters will not lock, what is the problem?
A: The silver center tab on the adapters should be facing downward. If they are, the next thing to check is the strap and spring bar. Sometimes the leather strap is a tad thick and won’t allow the adapter to seat fully and engage the lock. To solve this, remove the straps, remove the spring bar and bend it a little more and then the adapter should lock and seat. I do use curved spring bars but sometimes they need a little more curve to them.

Q: My tracking shows my order as delivered but I have not received it?
A: If you have tracking or delivery issues, you should contact your carrier or local Post office. There is nothing I can do once it’s in the mail other than provide a tracking number if you do not have it. For international packages, make sure you contact customs to see if it’s being held for duty and/or tariff fees that may be due.
