Modifying a Recently Placed Order
We understand that sometimes you need to make changes to an order after it's been placed. Here's how we can help you update your order details before shipping.
Order Modification Window
Time-Sensitive: Order modifications are generally possible only while your order is in "Processing" status. Once an order moves to "Preparing for Shipment" or "Shipped" status, changes cannot be made.
Changes you can request during the processing stage:
- Product size, color, or style variations
- Shipping address
- Shipping method (standard, expedited, etc.)
- Adding or removing items
- Payment method

What Happens Next
After we receive your modification request:
- Verification - We'll check if your order can still be modified
- Price Adjustment - If your changes affect the order total, we'll notify you of any difference
- Confirmation - You'll receive an updated order confirmation email
- Processing - Your modified order will continue through our fulfillment process
Note on Payment: If your changes result in a higher total, we'll need to charge the difference to your original payment method. If the new total is lower, we'll refund the difference to the original payment method.
If Modification Isn't Possible
If your order has progressed too far in processing, we may not be able to modify it directly. In this case, you have these options:
- Cancel the order - If eligible for cancellation, we can cancel and refund your original order so you can place a new one with the correct items
- Return upon delivery - Receive the original order and use our easy return process for a refund, then place a new order
- Exchange after delivery - Use our exchange process to swap for your preferred item once you receive the original order
