Shipping and Delivery Policy

Welcome to Layeredstylestudio. We are dedicated to providing our customers with high-quality women's tops and a seamless shopping experience from the moment you browse our collection to the time your package arrives at your doorstep. This Shipping and Delivery Policy outlines our shipping procedures, costs, timelines, and methods so that you can shop with confidence, knowing exactly when and how your order will be delivered.

By purchasing from our website (https://layeredstylestudio.shop/), you agree to the conditions and timelines outlined below. Please read this policy carefully to understand how your shipment is processed, dispatched, and handled in transit.

1. Shipping Destination & Order Processing

Currently, Layeredstylestudio primarily services customers within the United States. All packages are shipped directly from our primary location, ensuring that your stylish new garments are handled with care and dispatched as swiftly as possible.

Daily Order Cut-Off Time

Our daily processing activities are bound by an established cut-off time. This helps ensure that packages enter our logistics network without unnecessary delays.

Order Cut-Off Time: 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST), Monday through Friday.

Any order placed before 5:00 PM EST on a business day (Monday through Friday) will begin processing that same day. Orders placed after 5:00 PM EST on Friday, or anytime during Saturday and Sunday, will begin processing on the following business day (Monday, excluding federal holidays).

2. Fulfillment Timelines (Handling & Transit)

We recognize that receiving your fashion essentials in a timely manner is incredibly important. Therefore, we maintain a highly standardized fulfillment timeline split into two components: Handling Time (the period required to verify, package, and logistically prep your order) and Transit Time (the period your package is in the custody of the carrier moving toward your address).

Definitions:

• Handling (Fulfillment) Time: 1 Business Day.
• Transit (Shipping) Time: 2 to 6 Business Days.

Comprehensive Timeline Summary

The following table provides a complete breakdown of when your package will be processed and when you can realistically expect it to arrive, based on the day and time you complete your checkout.

Note: Business days are defined as Monday through Friday, excluding official United States federal holidays. While our support staff is available on Saturdays to assist you with inquiries, our shipping carriers do not execute standard pickups or freight consolidation on weekends. Consequently, weekend hours do not count toward handling or transit durations.

3. Shipping Rates and Cost Structure

At Layeredstylestudio, we prefer to keep our financial transactions entirely clear, avoiding complex weight calculations, regional zone surcharges, or hidden fees at checkout. We utilize a straightforward flat-rate pricing mechanism for all domestic shipments.

Rate Overview

The flat fee of $6.99 applies regardless of the size, volume, or quantity of women's clothing tops included in your order. This single fee helps offset packaging, secure sorting, and carrier postage fees. The final amount will always be clearly detailed on your billing summary prior to authorized payment submission.

4. Delivery Services and Parcel Tracking

To ensure that your garments arrive safely and reliably, Layeredstylestudio collaborates with leading commercial and postal logistics providers within the United States.

Supported Logistics Carriers

Depending on your regional location, package dimensions, and optimal routing, your package will be assigned to one of the following reputable delivery services:

• USPS (United States Postal Service)
• UPS (United Parcel Service)
• FedEx

We select the carrier best suited to transport your parcel efficiently to your specific address within the promised 2-to-6 business day transit window.

Tracking Implementation

As soon as your package is labeled, scanned, and leaves our facility (within the 1-day handling limit), an automated notification will be transmitted to the email address provided during your checkout. This dispatch email contains a unique tracking number along with a direct hyperlink to the carrier’s live tracking portal.

Please allow up to 24 hours from the time you receive your tracking number for the carrier's digital dashboard to update with initial scanning data. Once active, you can monitor the sequential checkpoints your package clears on its way to your designated delivery point.

5. Order Management, Modifications, and Cancellations

We understand that circumstances can change rapidly and an error can occur during address entry or item selection. However, due to our rapid 1-day processing structure, the window for modifying an order is highly limited.

Address Corrections & Changes

If you discover an error in your submitted shipping address, you must contact our customer care team at support@layeredstylestudio.shop immediately.

Before Dispatch: If your request is received before the order is processed and passed to our logistics carriers, we will happily update your address profile at no extra cost.

After Dispatch: Once a parcel has been collected by USPS, UPS, or FedEx, we are legally and operationally unable to reroute the shipment or recall the package. Layeredstylestudio cannot assume financial liability for orders delivered to incorrect addresses provided directly by the customer. In such instances, the customer must coordinate independently with the chosen carrier or place a new order.

Order Cancellation

Should you change your mind regarding a purchase, a cancellation request must be submitted via email prior to our daily 5:00 PM EST cut-off or before the physical processing of your package begins. If the order has already entered our fulfillment pipeline or been collected by a shipping carrier, it cannot be canceled. Instead, you must follow our formal returns process after the package safely arrives at your location.

6. Addressing Unforeseen Delivery Issues

Despite our best efforts and those of our carrier networks, occasional shipping disruptions can occur due to seasonal volume swells, severe weather, or localized logistics bottlenecks. Below are our official procedures for addressing non-standard delivery situations.

Delayed Shipments

If your order has not arrived within the estimated 2-to-6 business day transit window (allowing for the initial 1 business day handling period), please cross-reference your tracking link for specific service exceptions posted by the carrier. If your tracking indicates a prolonged, unexplained halt in movement, contact our customer service desk at support@layeredstylestudio.shop. We will immediately initiate a formal inquiry with the corresponding postal or commercial freight service to locate your shipment.

Packages Marked as "Delivered" But Not Present

On rare occasions, a carrier will mark a package as delivered when it is still in transit, or they may place it in a secure, discreet location around your property. We advise taking the following measures before declaring a package lost:

• Check alternative entryways, porches, patios, and community mailbox areas.
• Inquire with immediate neighbors or property management offices to see if the parcel was accepted on your behalf.
• Wait an additional 24 to 48 hours, as carriers sometimes prematurely update tracking statuses prior to physical delivery.

If the package remains missing after executing these steps, please contact our support staff. While Layeredstylestudio is not directly responsible for theft or carrier misplacement post-delivery, we will assist you with the necessary documentation to file an official carrier claim.

Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Shipments

Our dispatch team enforces rigorous inspection protocols prior to packing each women's top. However, if your items are damaged in transit or if you receive an item different from what was purchased, please document the issue immediately.

• Notify us within 48 hours of delivery at support@layeredstylestudio.shop.
• Include clear, high-resolution photographs illustrating the structural damage to the external packaging and the affected garments, alongside your primary order number.

Upon quick verification, we will arrange an immediate replacement or issue a full refund at absolutely no additional shipping cost to you.
