Shipping/Order Processing Policies
Important note: In order for Chelsea's to carry such a large selection of evening gowns and dresses, please understand that most of these items are made at the time of order and may take approximately a week to thirty days to be completed and ready to ship. 2nd Day Air shipping does not speed up the time that is needed to make your dress or gown, it only speeds up the time that it will take to reach you, once it is shipped. Approximate shipping time is noted on each individual item's description page. The majority of our gowns and dresses ship directly from our dressmakers in California. Our shoes and boots ship from either Pennsylvania or California and are usually shipped separately from clothing items.
Shipping
We ship primarily by UPS Ground or US Postal Priority Mail from either California or Pennsylvania. Special flat rate shipping via UPS Ground Service of $6.99 for items shipped to a single address. UPS will not deliver to P.O. Boxes, please supply a street address. We reserve the right, however, to ship via US Postal Priority Mail, if available, for certain items.
If you refuse delivery of your order, a return shipping fee of $10.00 will be charged to your credit card. By ordering from Chelsea's of New York you agree to this policy. This fee is charged to us by the shipping company to return the order. In addition, refused shipments are not eligible for refund or exchange. This also applies to deliveries that were not picked up by the customer and returned to us.
If you no longer want your order, you must request a return authorization number and follow our return guidelines to receive a refund. It's very simple! Please make sure that you have a secure area for the shipping carrier to leave your package if you are not at home at the time of delivery, as all items will be delivered without a signature required. Please notify Chelsea's of New York in advance if you wish to have a "signature required" upon delivery. Chelsea's of New York is not responsible or liable for any lost or stolen package once it is delivered by the shipping company (UPS, Fedex, US Postal Service, etc.). If you would like a signature to be required upon delivery, please contact us prior to your purchase and we can arrange that with the shipping company. There is an additional fee of $3.00 per order for "signature required" service, if you so request it. This fee is charged to you because we are charged that amount by the shipping company for this "optional" service.
Shipments that are non-deliverable due to incorrect and/or incomplete shipping address supplied by you, the customer, will result in an additional shipping charge of $10.00 to attempt re-delivery. We are not responsible or liable for replacement of your order if you give us an incorrect or incomplete shipping address.

Your order of ready-made, in-stock items will be processed and leave our store in approximately 4-5 business days after you place your order.

Items that are made at the time of order may take approximately a week to twenty days or more to be completed and ready to ship. Please remember to add this processing time to estimated shipping times. This also includes 2nd Day Air orders. 2nd Day Air option only speeds up the shipping time in transit, not the time needed to make your gown, costume or dress.
We ship Monday-Friday only. We are closed on Saturday and Sunday. If you need your item by a specific date, please contact us before ordering to insure that we will be able to meet your request.
