Shipping policy

Orders with Standard Shipping typically take between 3-5 business days but also depending upon the item it can take longer but you will be notified on any delays concerning your order to be processed and shipped. Expedited orders placed before 2:00 p.m. ET (11:00 a.m. PT) will be shipped the same day if in stock. Weekends and holidays are excluded from processing and shipping times, so please account for non-business days when choosing your shipping method. You will receive an email with tracking information when your order has been shipped.

From time to time, we have epic sales. When that happens, we work nights and weekends to get all orders out quickly, but we could still end up a couple of days behind. So it could take another 1-2 business days in addition to our regular shipping schedule. But we will do our very best to get your orders to you as fast as humanly possible!

You may select from Standard Shipping (2-10 business days), 3 Business Days, 2 Business Days, or 1 Business Day. Business days do not include weekends or holidays. Credit card authorization and address verification must be received prior to shipping any order. Please note that credit card authorization can take up to 24 hours for approval. We use UPS and USPS for domestic orders. We use USPS for international and APO/FPO addresses. We use UPS exclusively for expedited orders.  If an order is expedited, a physical address will be needed since UPS cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes. We do not offer Saturday delivery for expedited orders. Please remember that delivery time does not include Sundays or Holidays. You will be notified by email regarding back ordered items and expected delays. VIRTUOUS WOMAN BOUTIQUE will contact you with a follow-up email if the merchandise you have selected is not currently in stock or if we need additional identification provided for credit verification.
