HOW DO I CHECK THE STATUS OF MY ORDER, BACKORDER, RETURN OR EXCHANGE?

When you place an order with Boston Proper, you will receive a confirmation email with your order number. Please retain this email for your records.

WHAT IF AN ITEM IS UNAVAILABLE OR BACKORDERED?

While we make every effort to fulfill your order, occasionally, certain items may be unavailable. We will contact you via email should a back-ordered item become unavailable and refund your purchase amount for that item.

As you browse the site and select an item to add to your bag, we will advise you of the item's current availability and estimated ship date. Back-ordered items added to your shopping bag will ship as soon as they are available. When you check out, you will be charged for all items in your cart, including backordered items.

HOW DO I MODIFY OR CANCEL MY ORDER?

Please contact us by phone or email, and we will make every effort to assist you. However, due to the quick processing time in our distribution center, we are often unable to cancel or modify an order after it has been submitted.

MY ORDER STATUS IS "IN PROGRESS". WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Your order is in the process of being fulfilled and shipped but has not yet received a tracking number. Changes to your order cannot be made once your order is In Progress. We will gladly accept your return and provide an exchange or refund in accordance with our Return Policy.

I JUST ORDERED AN ITEM, BUT NOW IT'S ON SALE. DO YOU HONOR PRICE ADJUSTMENTS?

If the price of an item you purchased is marked down within 10 days of original purchase, a one-time price adjustment may be made by contacting Customer Service at 1-800-243-4300. Only full price items are eligible for price adjustments. Promotions and coupons cannot be applied to previously placed purchases.

ORDERING INFORMATION

HOW DO I SELECT THE PROPER SIZE?

You can check our size charts and use our online sizing tool, FitFinder, to help select the best size for you. Additionally, we make note of sizing recommendations under SIZE & FIT on product pages to help make the right selection.
See size chart here and FitFinder on any product page you are shopping. If you have additional questions about sizing, contact us for further assistance.

I WANT TO PURCHASE AN ITEM, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE MY SIZE OR COLOR AVAILABLE. DO YOU EXPECT TO HAVE IT BACK IN STOCK?

We are a specialty boutique and make limited quantities of our apparel and accessories. Not all items that sell out will be re-stocked. If we are expecting to re-stock the item, we will show an "expected shipping date" while you are shopping, and you may choose to backorder your selection. Backordered items added to your shopping bag will ship as soon as they are available.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO SAVE ITEMS IN MY SHOPPING BAG?

You can save items in your cart if you are logged into our website. Please note this does not reserve your merchandise.

If an item sells out, it will automatically be updated in your shopping bag.
