Ways to save on shipping at Sephora
- Check the cart for store pickup or ship-to-store options: where a store offers them, they usually avoid the delivery fee.
- If you are only a few dollars short, compare the gap with the shipping fee shown at checkout. Adding something you would buy anyway is only worth it if it costs less than the fee.
- Look at the member program above: some members get free shipping at a lower minimum or none.
- Know the return rules first: on many sites, returning part of an order can reduce the refund if it drops you below the free shipping minimum.
Returns at Sephora
Standard window: 30 days. Exceptions, no-receipt rules and mail returns are on our Sephora return policy page.
