Shipping + Return Policy
Shipping Policy
We’re all about fast, fabulous, and fun — but we’re not Amazon drones (yet). Here’s how shipping with Twirls + Twigs works:
Processing Time
We need up to 3 business days to wrap your order in gratitude (and bubble wrap) before handing it off to the shipping powers that be.
Shipping Rates & Delivery
- Shipping costs are calculated at checkout (sorry, the post office doesn’t accept hugs as currency).
- Delivery times depend on your carrier’s mood, traffic, and whether Mercury is in retrograde.
Local Pickup
In the neighborhood? Swing by our Valley Village shop and pick up your goodies for free. We’ll even cheer for you when you walk in.
Delays Happen
If your package takes a detour (blame weather, carrier hiccups, or cosmic chaos), we’ll help track it down, but a little patience goes a long way.
Address Oopsies
Double-check your shipping info at checkout — once it’s shipped, we can’t chase down a wrong address (no matter how magical our socks are).
Lost or Damaged
If your package arrives looking like it lost a battle with a raccoon, email us within 3 days with photos. We’ll make it right — gratitude guaranteed.
Refund policy
We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.
To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.
To start a return, you can contact us at sales@twirlsandtwigs.com. Please note that returns will need to be sent to the following address: 12441 1/2 magnolia Blvd Valley Village CA.91344
If your return is accepted, we’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.
You can always contact us for any return question at sales@twirlsandtwigs.com.

Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.
