Shipping & Returns

Shipping Update, April 2020: When you place an order on KateSomerville.com, know that we are doing our best to fulfill and ship your order at the earliest possible delivery date. However, you may experience a shipping delay due to the safety measures in place at our distribution centers based on the CDC’s recommendations.

If you have questions, please contact us at customercare@katesomerville.com

From the US, we currently ship to addresses within the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii and U.S. Territories) and Canada.

At Kate Somerville, we’re on track to use 100% recyclable packaging by 2025. When you buy from us, you join us in taking a stand for a more sustainable future for the people, the planet, and for future generations.

We package your order with the intent of safely shipping to you while minimizing waste and improving recyclability. In 2018, we stopped using plastic packing materials. In 2019, we reduced the size of outbound shipping boxes and switched to recycle-able paper.

Please allow up to 48 hours for your order to be processed.

In most instances, if your order is placed before 11am PT on a weekday, we'll ship it out that same day. If your order is placed after 11am PT on a weekday or if your order is placed on a weekend or holiday, we'll ship it out the next possible business day.

In rare instances, we can experience backlogs at our warehouse that result in shipping delays of up to a full business day.

We offer free Ground Shipping on orders $50+ on every shipment to addresses within the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii and U.S. Territories). Orders with free standard shipping will be delivered in 3-8 business days. Ground Shipping for orders under $50 will have an $8 flat rate.

My package says it was left at a parcel locker:
When packages exceed a certain size, mail carriers will place the package in a parcel locker. A parcel locker is located at your community mail boxes. You will find a key in your mailbox with the locker number on it. Your package is in there. If you don't have community mailboxes or no key was left, check with your mail carrier, post office, or leasing office to ask where it was left. You can also contact the United States Postal Service at 1-800-275-8777.
