Common Issues & FAQs
Why hasn’t my tracking number updated yet?
Sometimes tracking numbers are created before the item has been physically handed to the courier. Allow 12–24 hours for updates to appear. If it still hasn’t updated after 48 hours, contact customer support.
How long does Cotton On delivery take?
- Australia Standard Shipping: 3–7 business days
- Australia Express: 1–3 business days
- U.S. Orders (Standard): 5–10 business days
- New Zealand: 3–5 business days
- International Orders: 7–14 business days, depending on customs and local delivery speed
Delivery times begin after the item is shipped, not when the order is placed.
It says “Delivered”, but I haven’t received anything—what should I do?
Double-check your delivery address, mailbox, and common drop-off points.
Ask neighbors or building staff if they accepted it on your behalf.
Contact the carrier with your tracking number.
If unresolved, reach out to Cotton On support with your order number.
Why is my package stuck at customs?
Customs clearance can take 1–5 days, depending on your country. If your package is stuck longer than that without updates, contact the courier first. If needed, Cotton On support can help escalate the issue.
Can I track my order without an account?
Yes. Even if you checked out as a guest, you can still track your order using the tracking number sent in the shipping confirmation email.
