If you refused to receive your package from USPS or if the package returns to us for any reason, your order will not be refunded. Once the package is received by our Returns Department, you will be notified by email with two options.

  1. Pay the actual postage cost to resend your package, which may be higher than the original shipping cost paid on the order, based on the package type, or
  2. Receive a store credit for the merchandise within the package. Your original shipping costs will not be included. Chic And Curvy does not issue refunds only store credits.

What if I enter the incorrect ship to address?

Shipping addresses cannot be changed. We will only ship to the shipping address entered when the order was originally placed.

Entering a complete and accurate address is crucial to prompt delivery. Incomplete or incorrect addresses may cause days or weeks of delay or for your package to be delivered to the incorrect household. If an item is returned to Chic And Curvy due to an incomplete or incorrect shipping address, the Customer will be responsible for the re-shipping costs associated, based on the package type used. However, if a package is delivered incorrectly because of an incomplete or incorrect shipping address, the order is seen as delivered because it is delivered to the exact address provided to us during checkout, and it is not returned to us. In this case, customers are subjected to a re-shipment fee equivalent to 90% of the original order total. Again, this only applies to orders that are delivered and not returned to us. It is prudent to enter your address precise and complete.

Will a signature be needed for my delivery?

Yes all packages require signature confirmation. For security reasons, Chic And Curvy purchases will require a signature upon delivery. All purchases are shipped via USPS. To estimate the total delivery time for your purchase, see the Shipping Options section of our Boutique Policies. Chic And Curvy cannot be responsible for unanticipated delays on Holidays or when an area has weather issues.

Can you deliver to a different address than my billing address? 

At this time for security reasons, we cannot deliver to an address other than the billing address. Chic And Curvy does not allow shipping to an address that is different from your credit card billing address. Any attempts to use a different address (such as work, parents, or a friend’s home) will result in a pending authorization. We may try to contact you via telephone and email, and may cancel and refund your order. Please note if using PayPal, an address is considered confirmed if the buyer’s credit card billing address matches his or her shipping address. In some instances, PayPal can also confirm an address by examining the buyer’s PayPal account history.

Here are options/ways to make an address confirmed by PayPal:

  • Add a credit card to your PayPal account. PayPal will confirm the credit card billing address (i.e., the address where you receive your credit card statement).
  • Apply for PayPal Smart Connect. If you’re approved, the address on your application will be a Confirmed Address.
  • Alternate address confirmation. This process takes several days and is only available for U.S. accounts. To learn more, log in to your PayPal account and visit the Alternate Address Confirmation page.

Are you able to ship Next Day? 

*Note that during holiday seasons or times of increased mail volume, delivery options may vary but will be quoted at checkout before you complete your order. 

Sometimes we are able to help customers get packages within the next day or within 3 business days. Delivery time is based upon business days (Monday through Friday, excluding holidays) and the time of your request. Please select Express Shipping at checkout.

The first business day is the next business day. We ship Express orders via USPS Priority Mail Express which is the fastest mail service offered by the Postal Service. USPS includes $100 of insurance coverage.

What if my parcel does not arrive? 

We ask that you contact us at the first sign of a delay or delivery problem. Once you’ve notified us, we ask that you patiently wait up to 4 days after the promised delivery date to receive your parcel in case of a delivery delay, but we will do our best to get your parcel to you as fast as we can.  Email us at customerservice@chicandcurvy.com with your name and order number.

What happens if my order gets lost in transit to me? 

Chic And Curvy is not responsible for lost packages due to the customer’s or USPS error. If USPS mishandles a package we ask that you contact us at the first sign of a delay or delivery problem.
