Frequently Asked Questions
Where is The Cotton Candy based?
The Cotton Candy is a small independent online boutique based in South Korea. All orders are carefully packed and shipped directly from South Korea.
Are your products authentic?
Yes. Our branded and officially licensed products are carefully sourced from trusted retailers and authorized distribution channels in South Korea.
We do not sell counterfeit products. Product packaging, labels, and tags may vary depending on the brand and product.
How long does it take to prepare my order?
Orders are usually processed within 1–5 business days after payment is confirmed.
Processing may take slightly longer during weekends, Korean public holidays, high-volume periods, or special promotions.
Please note that processing time and shipping time are calculated separately.
How long does international shipping take?
Estimated delivery times after shipment are:
- Economy Shipping: 10–20 business days
- Standard Shipping: 7–15 business days
- Express Shipping: 5–10 business days
These are estimated delivery times, not guaranteed arrival dates. Delivery may take longer because of customs clearance, weather, local postal delays, or other circumstances outside our control.
Will I receive a tracking number?
Yes. A tracking number will be provided after your order has been shipped.
Tracking updates may occasionally be delayed while the package is in transit, undergoing customs clearance, or being transferred to a local carrier.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel your order.
We will do our best to assist you, but changes or cancellations cannot be guaranteed once an order has entered the packing process or has already been shipped.
What should I do if I entered the wrong address?
Please contact us immediately if you notice an error in your shipping address.
We may be able to update the address if the order has not yet been shipped. Once an order has been shipped, we cannot guarantee that the address can be changed or the package can be redirected.
Additional shipping charges may apply if a package is returned because of an incorrect or incomplete address provided by the customer.
What happens if my package is delayed?
International shipping and tracking updates may occasionally be delayed because of customs clearance, local postal services, weather, or other circumstances outside our control.
If tracking has not been updated for an extended period or your order has not arrived within the expected delivery window, please contact us. We will review the tracking information and assist you in contacting the shipping carrier when appropriate.
A shipping delay alone does not automatically mean that a package is lost or qualify the order for an immediate refund.
What should I do if my order arrives damaged or incorrect?
Please contact us as soon as possible after receiving your order and include:
- Your order number
- A description of the problem
- Clear photographs of the product
- Photographs of the packaging and shipping label, if applicable
We will review the issue and provide an appropriate resolution. If the item is confirmed to be damaged, defective, or incorrect, we will cover the reasonable return shipping cost or offer another suitable solution.
What is your return policy?
You may request a return within 14 days after receiving your order.
Returned products must be unused, unworn, and in their original condition with all original tags and packaging. All returns require prior approval.
For change-of-mind returns, the customer is responsible for international return shipping costs. Please review our Refund Policy for complete details.
