Shipping and Delivery

10 questions

When will my order arrive?

US orders typically arrive within 7-10 days of shipment. We ship from our East Coast fulfillment center within 1-2 business days of purchase, and you'll get a tracking number by email once it ships.

Peak seasons, holidays, and carrier delays can extend delivery. Business days exclude weekends and holidays. We ship within the United States only.

How much does shipping cost?

Rates vary by region and are calculated at checkout. US orders of $35+ get free standard shipping. See our Shipping Policy.

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes. Free standard shipping applies to US orders of $35 or more, after discounts and before taxes. Orders under $35 ship at a flat rate. Expedited and express options are available at checkout.

How do I expedite my order?

  • Standard: Free on US orders $35+ (otherwise $5.95). 5-7 business days, plus 1-2 business days processing.
  • Express: $9.95 flat rate. 2-3 business days, plus 1-2 business days processing.

Options appear after you enter your address. Express shortens transit only, so orders still take 1-2 business days to process. Shipping methods can't be changed after an order is placed. If you need express, contact us right away, and we'll try to cancel so you can reorder.

How will I know when my order ships? How do I track it?

  • Confirmation: Emailed right after you order.
  • Processing: 1-2 business days.
  • Shipping: Emailed with your tracking number.
  • Delivery texts: Opt in for real-time updates.

Track with your number here or in your account dashboard. Add our customer care address to your contacts so updates don't land in spam.

What if I'm shipping internationally?

Order on your country's website for local rates and faster delivery. We can't ship internationally from patchology.com. You can also shop in person at Sephora (Europe), Space NK (UK), or Mecca (Australia).

My package says delivered, but I haven't received it.

Check with neighbors and building management, and wait 48 hours, since carriers sometimes mark items delivered early. If it's still missing, contact us with your order number, and we'll file a claim and help with a replacement.

Can I ship to a different address?

Yes. At checkout, uncheck "Same as shipping address" to add a separate billing address. For a gift, enter the recipient's address and we'll include a packing slip without prices. To ship to multiple addresses, place separate orders. Each $35+ order ships free.

Security note: First-time orders with different billing and shipping addresses may be verified by phone or email, which can add 1 business day.

What if my order is returned because of an address issue?

Contact us. We'll monitor the return, confirm the updated address with you, and resend.

I need to change my shipping address.

Contact us right away with your order number, "ADDRESS CHANGE" in the subject line, and the correct address. Changes can't be guaranteed once an order enters fulfillment. If we catch it in time, we'll update it. If it has shipped, we'll send tracking so you can try to intercept it. If it's returned to us, we'll reship free. Save addresses in your account settings to avoid mistakes.

Orders

7 questions

How do I pay with multiple credit cards?

Each order takes one payment method for security. Accepted: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, PayPal, Google Pay, Amazon Pay, and Shop Pay Installments.

To split a payment, use Shop Pay Installments (4 interest-free payments) or link multiple funding sources in PayPal. You can also place separate orders. Each $35+ order ships free.

How do subscriptions work?

  • Save 10% on every order
  • Free shipping on every delivery
  • Early access to new products and launches
  • Add, skip, pause, or cancel anytime

Choose "Subscribe and Save," then pick a 30, 60, or 90-day frequency. You'll get a reminder email 3 days before each order processes. Card is charged when each order processes. Changes must be made 24 hours before your next billing date. Cancellations apply to future orders only, so orders already processing still ship.
