Order Processing
Orders take 1–2 business days for domestic processing before shipment, and 2–3 business days for international processing. Please note these are preparation/processing times only and do not include shipping transit time. All purchases are insured; responsibility for loss or damage during shipping falls on the mail carrier. Tracking updates are provided as soon as your package is scanned by the carrier. FERN is not responsible for delays once the package is in transit.
International Orders
Online checkout is currently available for US shipping addresses only. For international orders, please contact fern@fernnewyork.com for a shipping quote and delivery timeline.
International customers are responsible for all customs duties, taxes, and shipping costs. Delivery times are estimates and may be delayed by customs inspections.
Multiple Item Orders
If an order contains both RTW and made-to-order (MTO) items, the RTW item will ship first, separately. The MTO item will ship once completed. Each order is carefully inspected and packaged with care.
Address Changes & Cancellations
To update your shipping address after placing an order, email fern@fernnewyork.com immediately. Orders may be canceled before shipment if the RTW item has not been fulfilled or the MTO piece has not been started.
