Shipping Options

Because of the global pandemic and high volume, there may be delays from carriers, including the updating in tracking.

Please allow a little longer than normal for your tracking to update and/or your package to arrive. If your tracking shows no update for more than one week or your package is taking just too long to get to you then you can reach out to the carrier directly or let us know and we can get in touch with them to figure out what is happening.

Please note that shipping costs are automatically calculated at checkout based on the total weight of your order and the shipping destination.

Orders are processed and shipped within 5 business days after the order date. Please be aware that all of the bath and body products are made to order so that they are nice and fresh for you, so they may take 5-7 business days to process and ship. Please allow some extra time for order processing and making during busier times of the year or during sales events.

Weight restrictions may apply and not all shipping methods will be available for all weights/shipping destinations.

**Exclusions apply.* Free shipping is not available to Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and Puerto Rico due to carrier restrictions nor is it available on P.O. Box addresses.

You are personally responsible for any import duty/tax that may be applied to an order outside of the US. This isn't a shipping charge, but a legal requirement decided by the governing law where you live. Any orders abandoned/refused by customers due these charges will be liable for all costs shipping the order back - including the original cost of the shipping.

Customs/Imports and Sales Tax

You may be asked for an additional payment to receive your order if the delivery address of your order is outside of the US.

We hate these charges as much as you do and they’re controlled by your government - if we ever find a way around you having to pay them, we’ll let you know...but until then, your government won’t let us collect or pay them on your behalf.

Please don’t refuse an order if you run into these fees - we won’t be able to refund the cost of shipping it back to us, or the original cost, and we hate doing that!
