🚚 My parcel never arrived — who do I complain to?

Direct answer

The seller is responsible until the parcel is in your hands — not the courier, whatever the tracking says. Write to the seller: a new delivery or a refund. If the seller refuses, VVTAT (8 5 262 6751) advises on your consumer rights in Lithuania; for a seller in another EU country, Europos vartotojų centras Lietuvoje (ecc.lt). Complaints about the courier itself (lost, damaged, thrown in the garden) go to Ryšių reguliavimo tarnyba (RRT), the postal regulator, after the courier's own complaint procedure.

❓ Frequently asked

The tracking says "delivered"

That is not proof you received it. The seller must show delivery to you or a person you authorised. Ask for the delivery photo and signature.

I sent a parcel and it got lost

Then you are the customer of the courier: file a claim with them within their deadline (often 7–30 days); compensation depends on the service and declared value.

The seller is a private person

Consumer rules do not apply. If you paid through the platform, use its buyer protection; otherwise it is a civil claim — and possibly a scam, see the scam page.
