FAQ
How are my shipping charges calculated?
Carrier api's are used to calculate your charges based on weight and destination. HairBow Center passes on its FedEx account rates to its customers. The promotional flat rate shipping of $4.99 for orders of $50 or more is either USPS Priority Mail or FedEx Ground, whichever option is more economical for HairBow Center. Our rate of $4.99 does not alter the carrier's actual rate. However, in an attempt to make shipping more affordable, HairBow Center subsidizes the cost of shipping.
Can my FedEx package be delivered to my post office box?
Only packages delivered by the United States Postal Service can be delivered to a post office box. FedEx Ground/Home Delivery and FedEx Priority Overnight packages can only be delivered to a valid street address.
How can I track my order after it ships?
Once your order ships, you will receive a confirmation email at the address provided in your HairBow Center account. Simply click on the tracking link in the email to view your tracking information. Please allow up to one business day for initial tracking updates to be applied. If you do not receive a shipping confirmation email, please contact our customer service department. One of our representatives will be happy provide you with your tracking number.
Who do I contact if my order has not arrived?
Most carriers (i.e. UPS, FedEx, USPS) require that the sender contact them regarding any problems that arise during the shipping process. Most likely, as the recipient, you will be asked by the carrier to contact HairBow Center with any problems that you experience. These problems include but are not limited to delayed delivery times, damage to package and/or package contents, lost packages, missing items, and misdelivered packages.
Does HairBow Center offer exchanges?
HairBow Center does not offer exchanges.
Can my package be shipped using my FedEx or UPS account number?
HairBow Center does not currently ship through UPS. We use FedEx's shipping services and pass our FedEx account rates on to our customers. We do not currently ship through customers' UPS or FedEx accounts.
When I use PayPal Express checkout, when do I select my shipping address?
A customer may choose to checkout via PayPal Express. Whether a customer chooses the yellow and blue "Check out with PayPal" button located in the shopping bag or selects the blue and white "PayPal" payment button during the regular checkout process, he or she will be directed to PayPal. After logging into PayPal, the customer will authorize the payment to HairBow Center and will select the appropriate shipping address. An order which is paid through PayPal Express checkout will always reflect the shipping address which is either listed as the default in the customer's PayPal account or is selected from the list of addresses in the customer's PayPal account. If an address is entered into the website during the regular checkout process, the shipping address from PayPal will replace it once checkout is complete. It is very important to double check all order information including billing and shipping names and addresses before and after submitting an order. If a customer would like to make a change to the shipping address, he or she may contact our customer service department prior to shipment to make the change. Any additional shipping charges resulting from the change in address will be the responsibility of the customer. No address changes are able to be made once the order has been shipped.
When will my order ship?
HairBow Center prides itself on great service, and we strive to ship orders same-day if received by 1pm CST. This only applies to business days, and does not include weekends or federal holidays. *Same-day shipping is not guaranteed as there are times we are not able to process all orders due to large order volumes such as after an extended weekend or a sale or special promotion. Please expect a 1-2 day processing delay if ordering during a sale.
When can I expect to receive my order after it ships?
Once an order ships, its delivery time depends on the method chosen. USPS First Class Mail is expected within 3-5 business days after the day of shipping, while USPS Priority Mail is expected within 2-3 business days after the day of shipping. FedEx Ground is guaranteed within 1-3 business days. FedEx Priority Overnight is guaranteed on the next business day after the day of shipping by 10:30 a.m. to most U.S. addresses; by noon, 4:30 p.m. or 5 p.m. in remote areas. International methods such as USPS First Class Package Intl and USPS Priority Mail Intl generally take 5-45 days for delivery. FedEx Intl Economy is guaranteed within 2-6 business days but is not available to all destinations. HBC International Shipping is estimated at 7-45 days. *USPS First Class Mail and USPS Priority Mail services do not offer a guaranteed delivery date. Their respective delivery times of 3-5 business days and 2-3 business days are estimations only.

In the event of a duplicate transaction, please contact HairBow Center as soon as possible.

Duplicate transactions issued through PayPal may be refunded on the same day as the original transaction. However, duplicate transactions submitted through a credit card may not be refunded on the same business day as the original payment was submitted. *In the event of a duplicate transaction, please contact HairBow Center before contacting your credit card company or PayPal. Any claims/reversals initiated through your credit card company or PayPal will prohibit HairBow Center from taking steps toward refunding the duplicate transaction while the claims/reversals are ongoing.
