The turn around time for processing orders varies depending upon the volume of orders that are being processed and can increase during new product releases, immediately after collaboration launches (PPU/HHC), during brand launches or following vacation shut downs. During the COVID-19 outbreak, the turn around time is likely to vary a lot, but I will do my best to post the expected times below.

All postal delivery services are getting back to normal, but still fluctuate a lot.  Please be aware that your package may take longer than you are used to, to be delivered. It's not uncommon for packages going to the US to take more than two weeks. All packages are shipped with tracking, so you will be able to check on the progress.

  

CURRENT TURN-AROUND TIME: ESTIMATED AT 15 BUSINESS DAYS* (Business days are Monday-Friday, excluding holidays)

This is my best estimate, and is subject to change.
Check below to see exactly where your order is in our shipping queue.

• Updated Aug 4, 2022
• TaT excludes pre-orders, closures, vacations, weekends, and holidays.
• Next Canadian holiday/vacation: I will be away from the shop for the better part of July and early August for vacation, and Polish & Beauty Expo in Chicago. Please see the estimated shipping times below. Between regular pre-orders, PPU Rewind, Polish & Beauty Expo, and my personal vacations, I have done my best to estimate a shipping schedule for orders placed from late June through the end of July and early August, and that will likely be adjusted as things unfold.

Pandemic Protocol

 

To our dear friends and customers,

During this unprecedented time of uncertainty due to the COVID-19 outbreak, I wanted to let you know how we are responding to the situation here at Girly Bits. 

• Sanitation and disinfection measures in both the workshop and our home, have increased significantly and you can rest assured that we are taking every precaution possible.
• Our family of two adults have been practicing strict social distancing since March 10th 2020.
• I will have reduced dispatch days to twice weekly (possibly even once weekly) instead of daily, to limit exposure to our postal workers. Packing of orders will continue here in the shop 5 days a week (M-F) **because of this, you may receive a notification that your order has been processed for shipping, but your package may not be picked up here for several days after that.
• At this time we don't expect there to be a huge impact on our ability to fulfill and ship orders with in North America, with the exception of much longer than usual delivery times for international packages (including the US) but I will continue to monitor the situation and keep you informed of any significant changes. 
• There have been some new restrictions put in place regarding shipping to certain countries over-seas due to Covid-19. If you place an order and it is not able to be shipped, I will contact you to see if you want me to hold it, or if you would prefer a refund. If you would prefer your over-seas order be held regardless, please leave a note in your order and email me so we can arrange that.
• If you have any concerns, please feel free to reach out to me by email, at [email protected] or using the contact form on the web site.

 

The safety, well-being, and health of our customers and our family is of utmost importance to me. I hope that you and your loved ones are managing well during this unsettling time. If there is anything I can do to help you, please reach out via email. Once again, I thank you for being with us, and supporting our little business. Together, we can do this.

 

With love and gratitude,

Pam
