SHIPPING
We ship quickly and we don't make excuses!
You will never hear "it's not our responsibility after we ship it".
From the time you place your order to the time you receive your hair, we actively manage the shipping process to help keep you on time. Orders are packed quickly and each order is reviewed to make sure that the shipping speed you select is the shipping speed you will get. Often times, this means we have to upgrade shipping for you to get your order there on time. You will see that when you get your initial tracking email.
Once your order has left, we track it and watch for delays. If there is a delay, we contact the shipping company and work with them to get your package back on track. We'll always do what we can to help make sure you get your hair on time!
Orders placed before 1pm EST on regular weekdays will be always shipped the same day. We continue to ship same-day until UPS does their last pickup. That's usually around 3:45pm EST. Orders placed before 10am EST on a Saturday will ship the same day. Please note that, on Saturdays, UPS only picks up Overnight and 2-Day Air packages. UPS 3-Day and Ground are not picked up on Saturdays.
When you checkout, you will have a choice of shipping methods based on your area.
Once your order ships, you will receive a tracking number via email. You can click on the tracking number and see a scheduled delivery date. You'll also have the option to enter your phone number and get text alerts for your shipment.
We get great rates because we ship a lot of packages and we do not mark our shipping costs up so you should find our shipping to be very competitive.

UPS SHIPPING
UPS is our preferred shipper for all areas in the US.
UPS provides a variety of shipping options including: Ground, 3-Day, 2-Day Air, and Next-Day Air.
UPS does not include the day the package was shipped and they do not consider Saturday or Sunday as a "day." For example, if you order 2-Day Service on a Thursday, you would generally receive your order on the following Monday.
If you need special shipping options, including UPS Saturday delivery, please contact us before you place your order and we'll do whatever we can to get it there for you at the best price possible.
USPS (US Postal Service) SHIPPING
US Mail is offered in limited areas but we do not recommend it in most cases due to reliability issues.
USPS Priority Mail. With delivery 6-days a week and a reasonable price, USPS Priority Mail service is good if your order is not time-sensitive. Priority mail generally takes between 2 and 3 days for delivery. Priority Mail delivery dates are not guaranteed and may take longer than 3 days. Our experience is that around 8% of all Priority packages can be delayed an extra day or 2. Delays increase dramatically during the holiday season.
In Hawaii? Aloha! Priority Mail is usually a good option for Hawaii shipments at a low cost. 8 out of 10 shipments sent to Hawaii using Priority Mail will arrive in 3 business days but it can take up to 5 business days and it's only around $10. Delays increase dramatically during the holiday season.
Here's a chart showing estimated Priority Mail delivery times for your area:
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
We ship to Canada via FedEx. Taxes, duties, and VAT are the responsibility of the recipient. Shipping options for your area will show up as you checkout. We complete all necessary customs forms for you using electronic customs pre-clearance so our packages usually fly through customs! Please note that packages occasionally get delayed in customs beyond the control of FedEx or Frame & Thread.
With FedEx, you will typically be contacted the day before your delivery so you can pay any taxes, duties, or VAT that are due. FedEx will hold the shipment until this step is done.
RETURNS
We want you to be happy and we know you will love our hair! We're hair stylists too and we'll always try to take care of you the way we would like to be treated.
If you want to be charged restocking fees and you like being told "no", there are plenty of other hand-tied suppliers who will do that for you. Lol. Seriously.
You'll have 30 days from your date of purchase to make a return.
To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.

If you are shipping an item over $50, you should consider using a trackable shipping service and purchasing shipping insurance.
