Shipping Policy
Same-Day Shipping
Orders placed on weekdays (Monday - Friday) before 2pm ET will ship out the same day out of our warehouse located in Connecticut*.
*We strive to ship all packages within our same-day timeframe, however in the event of rare and unforeseen circumstances, your package may take an additional day to process.
Order Fulfillment and Processing Time
The shipment period begins once the carrier has scanned the label into their system*. Carriers pick up orders on business days (Monday - Friday), weekends and holidays are not included in processing & shipping time. For example, If an order is placed on Friday after 2pm ET, the order will not be processed until Monday.
*There is a possibility we have your order ready for pickup but due to issues with the carrier outside of our control, they are not able to pick up the order until the next business day. It is also possible that the package is in the hands of the carrier and not scanned in immediately.
Custom Flags
Custom flags have an additional processing time that is not included in the shipping period. As mentioned on our custom flag page, the additional processing time is between 5 and 7 business days*. You will receive an email with tracking information once the order ships. If it has been more than 7 business days since you placed your order and have not received a tracking email, please email our customer service (help@hypeflags.com).
*In the event of rare and unforeseen circumstances, your custom may have additional processing time.
Order Tracking
Once we have created the label associated with your order, you will receive an email with the tracking information and a tracking link. Please note also that tracking information will not reflect as accepted until it is scanned into the carrier’s system. There may also be a delay from the time it is scanned in and reflected on their website.
The estimated delivery date provided from the carrier is subject to change and may arrive sooner or later than initially shown.
If there has not been an update for more than 5 days, please reach out to our customer service team and they can help assist you.
Can’t Find Your Order
Our orders are delivered by USPS in a package that can fit in most mailboxes. Please check your mailbox. If there is not a package in your mailbox, in some circumstances, USPS will inadvertently mark your package as delivered while the item is still out for delivery or when it is being staged for delivery the next day.
If you live on a college campus that has a mail and/or package center, the delivery may take additional time for the mail and/or package center to notify you. Please be sure to check your mailbox and package center for your order.
In the unlikely event your order is stolen or lost, please contact the carrier as it may be stuck in transit. Our customer service team is standing by to help if needed.

Shipping & Handling FAQs:
How do I track my order?

In the rare event of adverse weather, worker absence due to illness, or other unforeseen circumstances, your package may take an additional day to process.

If it has been more than 2 business days and you have not received an email with shipment information, please email customer service.
