Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping

How long does order processing take?

Please allow 7–10 business days for order processing and preparation before dispatch.

Orders are processed in the order they are received. During this time, our team carefully reviews each order, verifies the items, prepares and packs the products, and completes final checks before shipment.

As we process a high volume of orders, this preparation period helps us make sure your order is packed accurately and arrives in good condition.

Processing time does not include carrier transit time. You will receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking information once your order has been dispatched.

How long does shipping take after dispatch?

Canada: 7–14 business days
United States: 7–14 business days
International: 14–30 business days

Delivery times are estimates and may vary due to customs processing, weather, carrier delays, public holidays, service disruptions, remote destinations, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.

How much is shipping?
Destination Standard Shipping Free Shipping
Canada CAD $19.99 CAD $199+
United States CAD $39.99 CAD $250+

The final shipping options and rates available for your order will be displayed at checkout before payment is completed.

Please refer to our Shipping Policy for full details.

Why might my order arrive in separate packages?

In some cases, an order may be shipped in more than one package. Packages may be dispatched at different times and may have separate tracking numbers.

If Nail Formula divides your order into multiple packages, you will not be charged additional shipping fees as a result.

Will I receive more than one tracking number?

Possibly. If your order is shipped in more than one package, each package may have its own tracking number. Tracking information will be emailed as each package is dispatched.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We offer tracked international shipping to eligible destinations. Product availability and shipping eligibility may be subject to local import regulations and carrier restrictions.

Taxes & Duties

Do Canadian customers need to pay tax?

Applicable GST, HST, PST, or QST is calculated automatically at checkout according to the delivery province or territory.

Do U.S. customers pay duties?

For eligible U.S. orders over $50 USD, applicable duties and import taxes are covered by Nail Formula under the DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) model.

Customers must still respond promptly if a carrier or customs authority requests information required to complete delivery.

Do international customers pay duties?

Unless an order is expressly identified as DDP, international duties, VAT, import taxes, brokerage charges, customs fees, and carrier handling fees are the responsibility of the customer.

Orders

Can I modify or cancel my order?

Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to request a change or cancellation.

Once any part of an order has entered processing, cancellation or modification may no longer be possible, even if the package has not yet shipped.

How do I track my order?

Tracking information will be emailed once your order has been dispatched.

If your order is shipped in separate packages, you may receive multiple tracking emails at different times.

Price Adjustment

Can I request a price adjustment?

Orders placed before or after promotions are not eligible for price adjustments.

Returns & Exchanges

Do you accept returns?

Due to hygiene and professional product standards, returns or exchanges are not accepted once an order has shipped unless an item arrives defective or damaged.

What is not eligible for return?

Colour differences caused by lighting, photography, product batches, device screens, or personal preference are not considered product defects and are not eligible for return or exchange.

In-Store Pickup

Which products are eligible for in-store pickup?

In-store pickup is available for eligible products marked In-Store Pickup Available.

Pickup availability will also be shown during checkout when the applicable items are eligible for pickup.
