Payments & Delivery
-
Why are there multiple charges on my account?
Your order may be shipped from multiple locations, and each shipment will be a separate charge to your account, only for the amount of that shipment.
When your order is placed we will contact your bank for authorization to approve the purchase. When that authorization is provided your bank will place a hold on those funds in the form of a temporary transaction called an “authorization hold” or “pending transaction”. These holds are applied by your bank and subject to their policies.
When your order is shipped, we will process the actual charge to your account, also called a “settlement” or “funds capture”. If your order is shipped in multiple packages there will be a separate charge for each package. The total of all charges will not exceed the amount of the original transaction.
Depending on how your bank processes and displays these transactions, it’s possible both the authorization hold and the actual charges will appear at the same time. Please allow 3-5 business days for your bank to process everything completely.
What payment types does Zumiez accept?Zumiez accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, JCB, Apple Pay and PayPal. Additionally, you may choose to reserve your purchase online and visit your local store to pay in cash.
When will my account be charged?Your account is not charged for your purchase until we ship your order.

How is a refund processed?A refund is processed differently than a charge to your account and may take 3-5 days to be posted by your bank after it is processed by our team.
How refunds can be received:
Refunds are processed to the original form of payment, except in the following circumstances:
- ATM and Debit card purchases may receive cash refunds in-store only.
- Credit Card refunds may only be credited to the original credit card. If the original credit card is not an option, a gift card will be provided
- PayPal purchases returned in-store can only be refunded by gift card, for a refund to your PayPal account please mail your order to the Returns Center.
- In-store purchases mailed to the returns center can only be refunded by gift card, if you would like credit in the original form of payment you must bring your return to a Zumiez store.
- Gift card refunds greater than $10 can only be refunded by gift card.

When will my order ship?
You will receive an email with tracking details as soon as your order ships, which we always aim to do the same day. This means the window for changes to orders is very small, so verify your information carefully before placing an order. At this time, we are working to ship all orders as quickly as possible, but due to COVID-19 this may be slightly delayed.
How do I choose the best shipping method?I love visiting my local Zumiez store: Go back a step and choose Ship to Store (US only).
I need it tomorrow: Choose Next Day delivery.
I need it in 2-3 days: Choose Express.
I need it within 3-4 days: Choose Standard.
I am not in a hurry to receive my order: Choose Economy or Free Shipping when available.
I do not receive mail from USPS: Choose Standard shipping for guaranteed UPS Ground delivery.
I do not receive UPS delivery: Ship your order to a PO Box for guaranteed USPS delivery.
I live in a rural part of the country: Your shipping time will always be at the later end of the range.
If we are unable to ship your order for any reason, we will notify you are soon as we are aware.
What shipping carriers does Zumiez use?Zumiez ships most packages via UPS, FedEx and USPS and uses UPS for international shipments, although we may change these at any time.
If you are unable to receive delivery from either one of these carriers, please see "How do I choose the best shipping method?" above for more information.
How long will it take for my package to be delivered?Free/Economy: 4-8 business days
Standard: 3 business days or less
Express: 2-3 business days
Signatures upon DeliverySome packages may require signature upon delivery. This is sometimes at the request of Zumiez and sometimes a UPS decision, and it is always made in order to protect the consumer from theft.
Specific instructions can be left with UPS through their My Choice program. Delivery changes made through this program are made at the customer's risk, as no investigations or claims will be allowed when the customer chooses to alter delivery instructions.
For more information about the UPS My Choice service, please see UPS.
Shipping to Freight ForwardersSome international customers may choose to ship their order to a freight forwarding company in the US. This is an acceptable way to ship your items, however all items marked as delivered to freight forwarding addresses will be considered delivered, and no items may be refunded or reshipped.
Tips for shipping to an APO/FPO addressMake sure to include the recipient’s full name and rank if applicable.
- Use all address fields available, including "Company Name", "Address 1" and "Address 2" if necessary. Sometimes Military addresses are long!
- Enter "APO" or "FPO" into the "City" field. This indicates that it is going to a military installation for delivery.
- The State/Province field must read "Armed Forces" with the appropriate location. Options are Africa, Americas, Canada, Europe, Middle East, or Pacific.
- Country field: Always select "United States" from the drop-down menu regardless of where the recipient is stationed. This is the only way the system will know to charge for domestic and not international shipping and will result in a significantly lower shipping cost.
- Orders shipped to APO or FPO addresses may take up to 30 business days for delivery.
