Frequently Asked Questions

  • When will my order ship?

    Orders can be processed very quickly, but please allow 1-3 business days for order processing before shipment. Business days are Monday-Friday, excluding holidays. Free and Economy shipping to Alaska and Hawaii can take up to 30 days.

    All orders are subject to inventory availability and order verification which can delay shipment. Please make sure to provide accurate billing and contact information to facilitate the order verification process.

    If we are unable to ship your order for any reason, we will notify you as soon as we are aware.

    How long will it take to be delivered?

    Free/Economy: 4-8 business days

    Standard: 3 business days or less

    Express: 2-3 business days

    How do I track my order?

    To track your order or check order status, visit our Order Tracking page and enter your order number.

    For each shipment that goes out we send an email with the shipment details and tracking information.

    Why is there no tracking information for my order?

    Order tracking information may not be available to view immediately after you receive your shipping information via email.

    Some free shipping options do not offer live tracking, but will provide a date window, instead of an exact date of delivery. If you do not receive your package and are past that delivery window (in business days: does not include Saturday and Sunday), please contact Customer Care

    Please remember to consider Holidays and weekends when looking for updates to tracking information.

    Can I make changes to or cancel my order?

    The fast answer is no, not really. Our shipping teams are so fast that they often have orders shipped in literal minutes. If you need to make a change to your order (address, size, item, etc) or want to cancel it, please let us know immediately and we will do our best to catch it before it goes out, but we can never guarantee the ability to make a change.

    Please call us during business hours at 1-877-828-6929 . You may also email help@zumiez.com, including:

    • Your order number
    • Details of the change, like new address or the items you want to change
    • Type “Order Change” or “Order Cancel” in the subject line.

    Why are there multiple charges on my account?

    Orders from Zumiez are sometimes shipped from multiple locations. We only charge when we ship, so there is a separate charge for each shipment.

    When you first place your order with Zumiez.com you will see an authorization hold on your payment account for the amount of the purchase, or “pending transaction”. This is a temporary hold placed by your bank to allow us time to collect on your order. When we ship your order, we send the message to your bank that we’d like to collect on that transaction and the funds are paid to Zumiez.

    If we ship your order from multiple locations, we will send a separate message to your bank to collect on each of those shipments separately, to make sure we only collect funds on items we have actually shipped to you. The total of all the individual transactions will not exceed the amount of the original authorization.

    Each bank has a slightly different way of processing these transactions and presenting them to their customers. Please allow 3-5 days for the transactions to process through completely.

    Why did my order ship in multiple packages?

    Zumiez ships from locations all over the U.S., so your order may be shipped in separate packages.

    Please note that each shipment will have an email confirmation as well as a separate charge to your account. The total of all the charges should never exceed that of the original purchase amount.

    My tracking information says my package was delivered, but I don't have it. What do I do?

    It’s fairly common for a package delivered by some carriers to be marked delivered 1-2 business days before it actually arrives at its location. Also, remember to check with family members, neighbors, and apartment managers. If you still don’t have your package, please contact Customer Care at 1-877-828-6929 . We are happy to look into the issue.
