Canceling or Modifying an Order

Before you place your order, you can view the contents and the total amount in your shopping basket.

Once your order is placed, it cannot be modified. If you would like to cancel your order, most orders can be canceled up to an hour after being placed. To check the status of an order, check the Order Details page.

Partially Canceled Orders

If an item in your order is out of stock after your order has been placed, the out of stock item will be canceled from your order, and you will receive notification via email. All in-stock items in your order will be shipped. If the initial order you placed met the $50 minimum free shipping threshold, but part of your order was canceled by Buy The Beauty, the order will still ship for free. If you would like to be notified when the item is back in stock, please visit the product page and sign up for the "Email when in stock" alert. Orders that contain out of stock items will be partially canceled for U.S. and Canada orders only.

What happens to my Beauty Insider points if part of my order is canceled? Beauty Insider points are awarded for all merchandise that is purchased. If an item is canceled from your order, you will not receive Beauty Insider points for that item.

What happens to my Beauty Insider Reward if part of my order or entire order is canceled? Beauty Insider rewards are shipped with merchandise orders. If the item that is canceled from your order drops your point balance below what is required to redeem the reward, you will still receive the reward as long as other merchandise is being shipped. Points will be deducted from your account for the reward. It is possible your point balance could be negative if you do not have enough points in your account because of the item cancellation. If your entire order is canceled, the Beauty Insider reward will not ship because a merchandise purchase is required.

What happens to my samples, sample bag or other promotional items if part of my order or entire order is canceled? Samples, Sample Bags, and all other promotional items are shipped with merchandise orders only. If part of your order is canceled, the Samples, Sample Bag and/or other promotional items in your order will ship with your merchandise order. If your entire order is canceled, the Samples, Sample Bag, and other promotional items will not ship because a merchandise purchase is required.

What happens to my shipping fee if part of my order is canceled? If you’re a Beauty Insider or your order as a guest met the $50 minimum threshold for free standard shipping, but part of your order was canceled by Buy The Beauty, the order will ship for free.
