FAQs
U.S. Orders over $40 and International orders over $100 qualify for free shipping. Why am I still seeing a shipping fee when I select the Weight Based Free Shipping method?
Only products with the Free Shipping logo next to the product code are eligible for free shipping. Orders can contain both free shipping and non-free shipping products, which is why you may see a shipping charge because the shipping fee will still apply for the non-free shipping items.
Do I have to pay for sales tax?
Only orders shipped to New York addresses will be charged applicable sales tax.

What is shipping insurance?
Shipping insurance is an insurance we offer for a very marginal amount which includes coverage for damages and packages that are lost in transit. N.Y. Girl Cosmetics will give store credit for any merchandise that was damaged, destroyed or lost during transit. Shipping, Handling, Shipping Insurance Cost and Taxes are EXCLUDED and NOT Covered by this optional purchase. All claims can be filed within 90 days of the shipping date of the package. When a package is lost during transit, claim can be made after the normal delivery time for the postage method selected and the destination. For damaged claims, photo evidence of damage(s) must be submitted. There is no coverage when a package fails delivery due to incorrect address or custom's issues. Regular website policy applies under these circumstances.
In all international orders, N.Y. Girl Cosmetics is not liable for any shipments that fail to clear customs.

Can I make changes to or cancel my order?
As soon an order is submitted and paid, your order status will show as "Processing". We pride ourselves in having an efficient and fast turnaround time so that our customers receive their merchandise earliest as possible. So as soon as the payment is accepted and the order is confirmed, it is immediately in process to be shipped. This means there is only a very small window of time where we can “catch” your order before it is being processed and prepared for shipment. Because of this, we are unable to make any changes to your order once it has passed the “processing” status.
An order can only be cancelled during "Processing" stage. We charge 10% of the total payment amount or $10, whichever is greater to cancel your order.
