Shipping Information
At Cate's Closet, we strive to provide a smooth and reliable delivery experience for every customer. Please review the information below regarding order processing, shipping timeframes, and delivery expectations.
Order Processing
Once your order has been successfully placed, our team begins preparing it for shipment.
Processing times generally range from 1 to 3 business days. During this period, we verify order details, prepare products for dispatch, and complete quality checks to ensure your items meet our standards.
Orders submitted on weekends or public holidays will be processed on the next available business day.
Please note that processing times are separate from shipping and delivery estimates.
Estimated Delivery Times
After your order has been dispatched, delivery typically takes between 5 and 15 business days, depending on your destination and local carrier operations.
While most orders arrive within the estimated timeframe, delivery schedules may vary due to factors beyond our control, including:
- Seasonal demand
- Weather disruptions

Once your order ships, you will receive a shipping confirmation email containing tracking information so you can monitor your package's progress.
