Shipping policy

Processing Time

  • Most orders process within hours.

  • During peak periods, processing may take up to 5 business days.

Transit Time

  • Delivery typically arrives within 2–10 business days. The exact delivery time depends on your carrier and zone. We rarely see orders in transit for more than 4 business days.

  • Tracking updates may show 2–4 day gaps during transit, but rest assured your order is still on the way.

  • In the event that an order is lost, you will be refunded, or shipped a replacement. To be considered lost, an order must have 30 days from the previous shipping update with no further updates. 

Incorrect Address

  • If your order has not entered processing, we can update the address.

  • Once processing begins, we cannot cancel or reroute the order.

  • Orders shipped to incorrect addresses due to customer error are not refundable.

Returned to Sender & Reshipments

If a package is returned to us, for example due to an incorrect, incomplete, or missing address such as a missing apartment or unit number, we will reship it at our cost. Reshipped orders, and any free replacement we send, are final sale and not eligible for return or refund.

“Marked Delivered” but Not Received

If tracking shows “Delivered” but you have not received the package:

  1. Check with neighbors/household

  2. Check parcel lockers/mailroom

  3. Contact your local post office with your tracking number

If the carrier confirms delivery, we cannot issue refunds.
