Frequently Asked Questions
ORDER FULFILLMENT
In-stock items are shipped out ASAP, typically within 12 - 48 hours of your order being placed.
The only exception to this timeline would be orders containing a custom, made-to-order size or style, which will be noted on the product listing. Orders containing a custom item are typically fulfilled in less than 2 weeks & are shipped out to you promptly thereafter.
Please also take note of your chosen shipping carrier's estimated timeline & feel free to reach out to us in advance (or leave a note on your order), if you happen to have a delivery deadline. We'll do our best to ensure your package arrives in time! :)
*Please ensure you enter the correct delivery address. BLUE ADAPTATION is not responsible for refunding or replacing packages sent to erroneous or outdated addresses, as entered by the customer.
DOMESTIC SHIPPING (USA)
Domestic (USA):
• Estimated delivery timelines & automatically-discounted shipping costs are calculated at checkout. Customers have the option of choosing between USPS (Ground Advantage or Priority) or UPS (Ground or Next Day Air Saver).
• All shipments are trackable & should arrive within 2 - 7 business days of order dispatch.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
International (Worldwide, outside of USA):
• Estimated delivery timelines & automatically-discounted shipping costs are calculated at checkout. Customers have the option of choosing between UPS (Worldwide Expedited or Saver), or DHL (Express Worldwide).
• Shipment delivery will vary depending on the destination & selected mail carrier service, but you can typically expect your package to arrive within 7 - 14 business days, plus any additional time for customs processing if applicable.
• Please note international shipments may be subject to import taxes, customs duties/tariffs, separate international mail handling fees, & other additional fees levied by the destination country, due upon arrival of your package.
BLUE ADAPTATION has no control over these fees, nor are they included in the original purchase price or shipping charges that the customer pays upon checkout from our store.
The recipient is responsible to pay separately for any such determined governmental charges upon delivery of their package. Duties and taxes are imposed by your government to protect national revenue and safeguard local industry. Almost all shipments crossing international borders are subject to duty and tax assessment.
RETURNS
We want you to love your new purchase! If you’re not completely satisfied, we will gladly accept returns for refund (or exchange) on all unworn items within 30 days of the original purchase date. If you would like to initiate a return within the 30-day timeframe, please Contact Us via our submission form or email directly to hello@blueadaptation.com in order to get started. All we need from you is your name (and/or order #) & how you would like to proceed (exchange and/or return).
Domestic Returns & Refunds (USA)
Upon hearing from you, we’ll provide a prepaid USPS return shipping label and easy instructions. Once your return is physically received back, inspected, and approved, we will send you a confirmation email to notify you that your refund for the item(s) will be processed. A credit will be applied to your original form of payment, less the cost of the original shipping amount & pre-paid return label (both automatically discounted). Please note shipping carrier charges cannot be refunded & these fees will automatically be deducted from your total refund amount. (We do however offer free exchanges, & will cover the cost of the associated additional shipping charges, granted the sale remains successful). Please note processed refunds may take up to 14 business days to reflect on your account.
International Returns & Refunds (Worldwide, outside USA)
Per the above policy parameters, just email us directly and we’ll take you through the process. Please note we are unable to provide international return shipment labels on our end.
SIZING
Each product listing has Fit notes specific to the individual style, along with a Size Guide you can peruse. If upon review, you're still wondering which size to order, we would recommend sizing up if you prefer a more relaxed fit, or sizing down if you fancy a more form-fitted feel. When in doubt, feel free to Contact Us directly, we're very familiar with these styles & would be more than happy to assist further!
GIFT CARDS
We offer electronic Gift Cards in various amounts with no expiration date. Please visit our Gift Card page to purchase directly.
OTHER
We are a slow fashion brand that strives to be ecologically responsible. We produce small, targeted runs in order to eliminate wastefulness while still meeting consumer demand.
Don't see a particular style / size / color in stock that you would like to purchase? Please email us directly to let us know what you would like & we'll see what we can do. If we can’t arrange something right away, we'll add you to our Waitlist & you'll be the first to know once it becomes available again.
Notice a product listing that states (+2 weeks)?
This means that you have chosen a style/size that is not currently in-stock, but is available as a custom, made-to-order item.
Orders containing a custom item are typically fulfilled in less than 2 weeks & are shipped out to you promptly thereafter.
Please take note of this additional processing time & plan ahead if a custom order is needed by a certain date.
Suggested Care Instructions:
SWIMWEAR
To prolong the life of your swim/activewear, it's recommended that you please:
- Hand Wash Cold Inside Out / Air Dry
- Always thoroughly rinse after chlorinated pool use
- Avoid contact with rough surfaces to avoid fabric snags
JEWELRY
To prolong the life of your jewelry, please:
- Refrain from exposing plated jewelry to chemicals, oils, perfumes, & makeup. Ideally put your earrings on last to avoid any such chemical contact.
- Avoid exercising, bathing, & swimming while wearing your jewelry. Both chlorine & saltwater can be damaging.
- To clean, gently rinse with freshwater (if needed) & dry with a soft polishing cloth.
- Store for safe keeping in a cool, dry place. (Glazed enamel can soften if exposed to heat; do not place anything directly atop your pieces to avoid possible indentation).
