8 ANSWERS

Orders & changes

Order confirmation, status language, item changes, cancellations, addresses, gift wrapping, and processing.

Where can I see my order status?

Sign in to your Kawaii Stop account to review order history and the current fulfillment status. After shipment, use the order tracker for carrier scans.

I did not receive an order confirmation. What should I do?

Check the spam, promotions, and junk folders for the email address used at checkout. If the confirmation is still missing, contact support with your full name, checkout email, and approximate order time so the order can be located.

Can I change the item, size, color, or quantity after ordering?

Contact support immediately with the order number and the exact change requested. Changes are not guaranteed because processing or production may begin quickly. Once fulfillment, production, or shipment has started, the order may no longer be editable.

Request an order change

Can I cancel an order?

Orders may be canceled within 1 hour of purchase for a full refund. After 1 hour, cancellation may still be possible before fulfillment, but it is not guaranteed and a processing fee may apply. Once fulfillment, production, or shipment begins, cancellation is no longer available.

Read the cancellation terms

Can I change the shipping address after ordering?

Contact support as soon as possible. Address changes are not guaranteed once processing begins, and customers are responsible for the shipping details entered at checkout. If a package is returned, discarded, or delayed because of an incorrect or incomplete address, additional costs or refund limits may apply.

Request an address change · Read the Shipping Policy

Can I add an item or combine separate orders?

Adding items or combining separate orders is not guaranteed. Orders may enter processing at different times or be assigned to different fulfillment locations. Contact support immediately with every order number and the item details so the team can review what is still possible.

What do “processing,” “fulfillment accepted,” “quality check,” and “unfulfilled” mean?

These statuses usually mean the order is still being prepared and has not yet been handed to the carrier. “Processing” or “unfulfilled” means shipment has not been completed. “Fulfillment accepted” means the order has entered the fulfillment workflow. “Quality check” means the item or order is being reviewed before shipment. Standard items are typically processed within 1–4 business days, while cosplay, made-to-order, and production items can require additional time.

Review processing timelines

Do you offer gift wrapping?

Gift wrapping is not currently available. Orders are packed for safe shipment using the packaging appropriate for the item.

13 ANSWERS

Shipping & delivery

Processing, rates, delivery estimates, special addresses, international orders, customs, and fulfillment locations.

How long does order processing take?

Orders are typically processed within 1–4 business days. Most standard items ship within 1–3 business days. Holidays, high-volume periods, and products requiring additional preparation can take longer.

Read the Shipping Policy

How long do standard US orders take to arrive?

Most economy-shipping orders in the United States arrive within 8–15 days after ordering. Please allow up to 20 days in some cases for destination differences, carrier delays, peak periods, or products with additional processing time. Delivery estimates are not guarantees.

How much is US shipping?

Economy shipping is $3.99 and is free on eligible US orders over $65. Express shipping is $14.99. The methods available for a specific order are shown at checkout.

How does express shipping work?

Express shipping costs $14.99 and has an estimated delivery time of 7–14 days after shipment. Product processing or production time still applies before the package ships, and the delivery estimate is not a guaranteed arrival date.

Do you ship internationally, and how much does it cost?

Yes. Economy international shipping is $4.99 and is free on eligible international orders over $100. Available destinations and methods are confirmed at checkout.

How long does international delivery take?

Typical estimates vary by destination. The UK, EU, Japan, Nordics, and Switzerland are usually 1–3 weeks. Brazil, Russia, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Italy are usually 1–4 weeks. Other destinations may take 1–6 weeks. Customs can extend delivery, and all timelines are estimates.

Are customs duties, taxes, or import fees included?

No. Customs duties, taxes, brokerage charges, and import fees are set by the destination country and are the customer’s responsibility. Refusing or abandoning a delivery because of these charges may make the order ineligible for refund or replacement.

Review international shipping terms

Where do orders ship from?

Orders may ship from Asia-based fulfillment locations, New York, Los Angeles, or more than one location. A product is not guaranteed to be in US stock or to ship from a US location unless the product page clearly says so. The origin depends on the item and the inventory assigned to the order.

Can you guarantee delivery by a specific date?

No. Processing and delivery dates are estimates because production, carrier, customs, weather, and regional delays can occur. For an event or deadline, contact support before ordering with the product link, destination, and required date so the published timing can be reviewed realistically.

Can I upgrade to faster shipping after placing my order?

Usually not, because orders can enter processing quickly. Contact support immediately with the order number. If the order has not entered fulfillment and a faster method is available, support may be able to offer an upgrade and collect the additional shipping cost. An upgrade after checkout is not guaranteed.

Ask about a shipping upgrade

Can you ship to PO boxes, APO/FPO addresses, parcel lockers, or forwarding addresses?

These address types can often be used when checkout accepts them, but a standard street address is strongly preferred. Carrier options, delivery scans, and loss or theft assistance can be more limited for PO boxes, APO/FPO addresses, parcel lockers, and forwarding services. Kawaii Stop may be unable to assist with a lost or stolen package after the carrier confirms delivery to one of these locations.

Enter the complete address exactly as required by the postal or forwarding service and consider Kawaii Shield when eligible.

Why can’t an item ship to my address?

Some products, carriers, warehouses, or destination rules can limit where an item may be shipped. An address can also be rejected when required unit, postal, military, locker, or forwarding details are missing. Try a complete standard street address when possible. If checkout still blocks the item, contact support with the product link and destination so the restriction can be reviewed.

What happens if I refuse a delivery?

Do not refuse a package unless support specifically instructs you to do so. Refused deliveries—including refusals caused by customs charges, delays, or a change of mind—may be treated as forfeited and may not qualify for a refund or replacement.

9 ANSWERS

Tracking & delivery

Tracking emails, carrier scans, delivery confirmation, delays, lost packages, and returned shipments.

How do I track my package?

Open the Kawaii Stop order tracker and enter the tracking number from your shipping email. If the order has multiple packages, check each tracking number separately.

When will I receive tracking information?

Tracking is sent automatically after a shipment is created. Processing or production must be completed before a tracking number becomes available.

My tracking says “label created.” Has the package shipped?

“Label created” means shipping information has been prepared, but the carrier may not have completed the first physical scan yet. Allow a few business days for the first update, especially during carrier handoffs or peak periods.

Why has my tracking stopped updating?

Carrier scans can pause during handoffs, customs review, or international transit. Allow several business days for the next scan. If there has been no movement for 7 business days, contact support with the order and tracking numbers.

Ask support to review the shipment

My tracking says delivered, but I cannot find the package. What should I do?

Confirm the shipping address, check with household members, neighbors, parcel lockers, mailrooms, and nearby delivery areas, then contact the carrier for delivery details. The Shipping Policy treats a carrier “Delivered” scan as completed delivery. If Kawaii Shield was purchased, review the coverage terms and submit an eligible claim promptly.

Review Kawaii Shield

What should I do if a package appears lost or severely delayed?

Check the latest carrier scan first, then contact support with the order number and tracking number so the shipment can be reviewed. A replacement or refund is not automatic unless the issue qualifies under the applicable policy or Kawaii Shield coverage.

Why did my order ship separately or receive multiple tracking numbers?

A multi-item order may ship in separate packages from different fulfillment locations at no additional shipping charge. Each package has its own tracking number, and the packages can arrive on different days.

What does customs clearance or a customs hold mean?

International packages can pause while customs reviews the shipment or assesses duties and taxes. These scans do not necessarily mean the package is lost. The customer is responsible for any destination-country charges, and customs timing is outside the carrier’s normal transit estimate.

What should I do if tracking shows “returned to sender”?

Contact support with the order and tracking numbers. The next step depends on why the carrier returned the package. Address errors, refused delivery, unpaid customs charges, or failure to collect a package can result in reshipping costs or loss of refund eligibility.

14 ANSWERS

Returns & refunds

Return eligibility, RMA approval, return shipping, refund methods, exchanges, final sale, and EU rights.

What is the return window?

Return requests for eligible items must be submitted within 14 days of the carrier’s delivered date. Requests submitted after that window are not eligible for return, refund, or exchange.

Read the Refund Policy

How do I start a return?

Submit a return request through your customer account. Contact support if you need help locating the order. Do not mail anything until the request is approved and you receive the RMA instructions and correct return address.

Open your account

Can I send a return to the Kawaii Stop mailing address?

No. The Sheridan business mailing address is not a returns address. Every approved return receives separate RMA instructions and the correct return destination. Unauthorized returns may be rejected.

What condition must a returned item be in?

Eligible returns must be unworn, unwashed, free of damage, odors, or alterations, with original tags attached and original packaging included. Returns are inspected before a refund or store credit is approved.

How long do I have to ship an approved return?

An approved RMA must be shipped within 14 days of approval using a trackable service. Keep the tracking record until the return has been inspected and processed.

What happens if I send an unauthorized or late return?

A return sent without approval, after the RMA expires, or without tracking may be rejected. If an expired or unauthorized return is received, you may have to pay to have the item sent back. Review the full RMA terms before mailing anything.

Read the RMA process

Who pays for return shipping?

The customer pays return shipping unless the return is caused by a verified Kawaii Stop error or is approved under applicable Kawaii Shield coverage. Use a trackable shipping service and keep the receipt.

What refund options are available?

Approved store credit is 100% of the returned item value with no restocking fee. A refund to the original payment method is the item value minus a 20% restocking and processing fee. Original shipping, protection fees, customs charges, and other non-refundable amounts are excluded.

Review the full refund calculation

Is there a deduction when an order received free shipping?

Yes. For an approved refund to the original payment method, the Refund Policy states that a standard $4.99 outbound shipping cost is deducted from orders that originally received free shipping.

Do you offer direct exchanges?

No. Kawaii Stop does not process direct exchanges. If the original item is eligible, complete an approved return and place a new order for the preferred size or color.

How long does a refund take?

After an approved return is received and inspected, refunds are typically processed within 3–7 business days. Your payment provider may require additional time before the credit appears.

Which items are final sale?

Final-sale categories include many hygiene-sensitive, custom, production, and restricted items, including cosplay and costumes, made-to-order products, intimates, swimwear, beauty and health products, shoes, figurines, Lolita dresses, headwear, gift cards, pre-orders, and other categories listed in the policy. Product pages may also identify an item as non-returnable.

Review the complete final-sale list

Are purchases made with store credit returnable?

No. Purchases made with store credit are final sale under the Refund Policy.

Do EU customers have additional withdrawal rights?

Consumers in the European Union may have a 14-day right of withdrawal under applicable law, subject to the EU addendum and its exemptions. Custom-made, personalized, and certain other products can be excluded once production begins.

6 ANSWERS

Wrong, damaged, or missing

Wrong items, damage, missing contents, material differences, evidence, and package tampering.

What should I do if I receive a wrong, damaged, or defective item?

Contact support within 4 days of delivery with the order number and clear photos or video showing the item, packaging, and issue. When a Kawaii Stop error is verified, the Refund Policy provides for a prepaid return label and a replacement or full refund, including shipping.

Report the issue

What if an item is missing from my package?

First check the shipping email and order tracker for another package or tracking number. If every shipment is marked delivered and an item is still missing, contact support with the order number, package photos, and a list of what arrived.

Can I upload photos through the contact form?

The contact form does not upload attachments. Submit the message first, then reply to the confirmation or support email with the requested photos or video.

What if the package arrives opened, empty, or visibly tampered with?

Photograph the outer package, shipping label, inner packaging, and everything received before discarding anything. Contact support within 4 days of delivery and include the order number. If Kawaii Shield was purchased, the claim may also need to follow its evidence and deadline requirements.

Are small color or measurement differences considered defects?

Screen settings can create minor color differences, and measurements may vary by approximately 1–3 cm. The Refund Policy states that these minor variations do not by themselves qualify as product defects.

What if the item looks materially different from the product photos or description?

Contact support within 4 days of delivery when the difference is substantial—for example, the construction, transparency, design, included pieces, or material appears meaningfully different from the listing. Include the order number, product name, clear photos or video, and a short explanation of the difference.

Minor screen-color differences and normal measurement variation of approximately 1–3 cm are handled separately under the Refund Policy.

7 ANSWERS

Sizing & product details

Size charts, fit selection, custom sizing, fit differences, color, measurements, and product questions.

Which size chart should I use?

Use the size chart shown on the specific product page. Sizing standards can vary between products, so do not rely only on the size name you normally wear.

How should I choose a size?

Compare your body measurements with the item-specific chart and review any fit notes on the product page. When between sizes, consider the garment measurements, material, and intended fit rather than assuming every product uses the same sizing standard.

Do you offer custom sizing?

Custom sizing is available only when the product page explicitly offers it. Confirm every requested measurement before checkout because custom-sized and made-to-order items are generally final sale once production begins.

What if I ordered the wrong size?

Return eligibility depends on the item category and the Refund Policy. Many cosplay, intimate, swimwear, shoe, Lolita, custom, and made-to-order products are final sale. Kawaii Stop does not offer direct exchanges.

Will the color or measurements exactly match my screen and chart?

Colors can vary slightly because of lighting and screen settings, and manual measurements may vary by approximately 1–3 cm. Review the product page carefully and contact support before ordering if a specific detail is essential.

Where can I ask a product-specific question?

Use the contact page and include the product name or link, the option you are considering, and the exact detail you need. This helps support review the correct listing.

What if the size tag is correct but the item fits much smaller or larger than the chart?

Compare the item’s measurements with the product chart and photograph the size tag and the item being measured on a flat surface. Contact support within 4 days of delivery when the measurements appear materially outside the listed chart or the item is clearly inconsistent with the ordered option.

A normal manual-measurement variation of approximately 1–3 cm is not treated as a defect by itself.

Ask support to review the fit difference

5 ANSWERS

Cosplay & made-to-order

Production timing, cancellations, final sale, custom sizing, pre-orders, and event deadlines.

How long do cosplay and made-to-order items take to process?

Some cosplay, costume, and made-to-order products can require up to 15 business days of processing before shipment, depending on complexity and production requirements. The product page may provide additional timing information.

Review production timing

Can I cancel a cosplay or made-to-order item?

Production typically begins shortly after confirmation. The full-refund cancellation window is 1 hour. Once production begins, the order cannot be canceled and is final sale under the Refund Policy.

Can cosplay or made-to-order items be returned?

Cosplays, costumes, made-to-order items, custom-sized garments, and many related production items are final sale except where mandatory consumer rights or a verified Kawaii Stop error apply.

How do pre-orders or deposits work?

Pre-orders, pre-sales, and deposits are listed as final sale in the Refund Policy. Review the product page for the expected availability or production information before ordering, because the timing can differ from in-stock items.

I need an item for an event. Can you confirm it will arrive in time?

Delivery dates cannot be guaranteed. Contact support before ordering with the product link, destination, and event date. Support can review the published processing and delivery estimates, but production and carrier delays remain possible.

8 ANSWERS

Payments & discounts

Checkout methods, billing currency, payment reviews, declined payments, discounts, promotional value, and gift cards.

Which payment methods are accepted?

The checkout can offer major credit cards, PayPal, Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and supported local methods. The payment options displayed for your location and device at checkout are the current available methods.

What currency will I be charged in?

Orders are processed in US dollars unless checkout clearly states otherwise. Your bank or payment provider may apply its own currency-conversion rate or fee.

Read the payment terms

Why was my payment declined?

Confirm the card number, billing address, available funds, and bank security approval. Try another available payment method or contact your bank. Kawaii Stop may not receive the bank’s specific decline reason.

Why is my discount code not working?

Check the spelling, expiration date, minimum purchase, eligible products, and whether another promotion is already applied. Some offers exclude sale, pre-order, or final-sale products. If the code should qualify, send support the code and a screenshot of the cart.

Can discount codes be combined?

Discounts can be combined only when the promotion or checkout specifically allows it. If checkout does not accept the combination, use the single eligible offer you prefer.

What happens to Shop Cash, rewards, coupons, or promotional credits after a refund?

Platform-funded and promotional value—including Shop Cash, reward credits, coupons, and similar incentives—has no cash value through Kawaii Stop and may not be restored. Only the amount paid directly by the customer may be eligible for refund, subject to policy deductions.

Review promotional refund terms

Are gift cards refundable?

No. Gift cards are listed as final sale in the Refund Policy.

Why is Kawaii Stop asking me to verify my order?

Some orders require clarification before fulfillment. Support may ask you to confirm billing or shipping details, the purchase, or other non-sensitive information connected to the order. Kawaii Stop will never ask for your full card number, account password, or security code by email.

Orders that cannot be verified or present elevated payment risk may be canceled and refunded to the original payment method.

Kawaii Shield

Optional protection, cost, eligible shipping issues, claim timing, evidence, exclusions, and approval.

What is Kawaii Shield, and how much does it cost?

Kawaii Shield is optional order protection for eligible lost, stolen, or transit-damaged shipments. The published cost is $2.99 or 4% of the order value, whichever is greater.

Review Kawaii Shield coverage

Can I add Kawaii Shield after placing an order?

No. Kawaii Shield must be selected during checkout and cannot be added retroactively after the order is placed.

How do I submit a Kawaii Shield claim?

Use the Kawaii Shield claim portal and provide the requested order, tracking, and evidence. Lost-package claims follow the published waiting periods; stolen and damaged-item claims must be reported within the stated delivery deadlines.

What evidence may be required for a Kawaii Shield claim?

Depending on the issue, the claim may require tracking records, package and item photos, delivery details, or a police report. The published terms state that stolen-order claims over $30 require a police report.

Does Kawaii Shield cover an incorrect shipping address?

No. Problems caused by an incorrect address entered by the customer are excluded from Kawaii Shield coverage. Check the address carefully before completing checkout.

Does purchasing Kawaii Shield guarantee approval, and is the fee refundable?

No. Claims are reviewed under the published eligibility, evidence, timing, and occurrence limits. Purchasing protection does not guarantee approval, and shipping-protection fees are non-refundable under the Refund Policy.

Accounts & support

Accounts, order history, contact methods, phone support, reply timing, mailing address, and privacy.

Do I need an account to track an order?

How do I view my order history?

Sign in through the Kawaii Stop account portal using the email connected to your orders.

Is phone support available?

Yes. You can call 855-KAWAII1 (855-529-2441). For order-specific questions, the contact form or email is usually the clearest option because photos, tracking details, and the full written history can stay in one thread.

How long does support take to reply?

Most messages receive a reply within 12–48 business hours. Support is reviewed Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Questions that require carrier, payment, or protection-claim research can take longer.

What details should I include in a support message?

Include your full name, checkout email, order number, product name, tracking number when relevant, and a clear description of the issue. For wrong, damaged, or defective items, submit the message first and then reply to the support email with photos or video.

Is the Sheridan address a return address?

No. It is Kawaii Stop LLC’s registered business mailing address. Returns are accepted only after RMA approval and must be sent to the return address supplied in the approval instructions.

How is the information in my support request used?

Kawaii Stop uses the information to identify the order, respond to the request, prevent fraud, maintain support records, and provide store services. Information may be shared with service providers when needed to process shipping, payments, support, or eligible protection claims.

Read the Privacy Policy

I have not received a reply from support. What should I do?

Check spam, junk, promotions, and any filtered folders for a message from contact@kawaiistop.com. Confirm that the email address entered on the form is correct and avoid opening multiple new requests for the same issue.

If 48 business hours have passed, reply to the original confirmation or send one follow-up with the order number, checkout email, and the date of the first message so the thread can be located.
