If you have not received an order confirmation, please verify that you have completed the payment process and check to make sure our e-mail was not filtered out of your inbox. Our products are made after they’re ordered to ensure freshness and potency. For this reason, preparation time may differ. We will notify you when your order has been shipped and you’ll receive a tracking number to tell you where your order is every step of the way!
SHIPPING
USA orders are usually fulfilled through the United States Postal Service (USPS) or UPS (United Parcel Service). International orders are usually fulfilled through UPS (United Parcel Service), the United States Postal Service (USPS) Priority Mail, or DHL. Due to evolving logistics, we may use carriers such as UPS, FedEx, or DHL.

POSSIBLE DELAYS
Shipment time is not guaranteed by carriers, nor Gentlerist. Any shipment may encounter delays due to factors beyond our control including high shipping volume or bad weather that extends beyond the expected delivery estimate provided by the carrier. If your shipment has encountered an issue, we recommend calling your local post office for the most up to date information. You can also send us an e-mail at care@gentlerist.com with your Order Number, Shipping Address and Tracking Number, and we will follow up with them as well.
International shipments are subject to customs procedures leaving the United States and arriving in the destination country which may contribute to delays. Delays resulting from customs are a reality of shipping logistics with international shipping. No returns or refunds can be issued due to delays with international shipping.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
We use DHL or UPS for international shipping based on the destination. Shipments to Canada usually take 3-5 business days, while shipments to Europe, Asia, and Oceana may take anymore from 5-9 business days.
Orders that are designated for international shipping outside of the U.S. may be subjected to taxes, customs duties and other fees by the destination country. The recipient is responsible for these fees.
If the purchaser refuses a shipment, they are responsible for any import fees incurred, cost of returning the shipment and the original shipping charges.

Gentlerist is not responsible for the return cost of shipping and cannot process a refund for unsuccessfully delivered return packages or damage incurred to products during the return process. For this reason we recommend insuring your return package in the case of loss or damage. Gentlerist utilizes a system of biometrics to verify returned items have not been opened or used and reserves the right to deny a refund to products that are believed to have been previously used. Please note, returning an item may invalidate the promotions or discounts applied to the order including but not limited to shipping discounts.
For products purchased from a stockist, please consult their store policies.
