Delivery Timeframes

KITS:
Your pre-paid kit will be sent to you via UPS Ground from Endicott, New York. Delivery times of the preservation kits vary based on the shipping address. The chart below provides an estimate of the delivery time from the time your order is received.

GOWNS:
Once your gown is received at The Wedding Gown Preservation Company, the average processing time is 20 - 30 days. This timeframe may be slightly longer depending on the season and how many gowns are being processed. From the time your gown is complete, it will take another 4 - 10 days (see above chart) to arrive.

When you include your email address on the form that you send in with your gown, you will receive email notifications letting you know both when your gown has been received, as well as when it has been sent back to you. There will be a tracking number within the notification that your gown is on its way back to you. You can then go online and see exactly when your gown will be delivered.

You can also check the status of your gown online at The Wedding Gown Preservation Company website.

Gown Delivery Process

Please remember that when your gown is delivered, someone will need to be home, and will require an adult signature for delivery. Gowns are shipped with a signature required for your protection, so the gown can not be left unattended.  UPS does not allow a pre-scheduled delivery day or time, however they will make 3 attempts before returning your dress to The Wedding Gown Preservation Company. 

Standard delivery is Monday through Friday from 8 am to 6 pm.  If you suspect you will not be home at the time of delivery, please email The Wedding Gown Preservation Company with a different delivery address (i.e., a work address) within two business days. **If you are having us change the address to a business, please provide us with the business name**

If your gown is returned as undeliverable after UPS has made three attempts, a shipping & handling fee will apply in order to ship your gown to you again.

*Please note that UPS does not ship to Post Office Boxes.
