FREE Shipping Promotions

Ship to Home Orders or multiple delivery method orders which qualify for FREE or discounted shipping promotions are shipped via our Standard service only. FREE or discounted shipping is available in the contiguous U.S. states only, and excludes Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. Territories, PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses and oversized packages.

Shipping Methods, Costs and Delivery Times:

*All shipping charges include handling, order processing, item selection, packaging and transportation of items.

**Estimated transit days do not include order processing times, which usually takes 1 to 2 days. Once your order ships out, it typically arrives within the estimated delivery window for the selected shipping method. Carrier and processing delays are possible. Shipping times may vary by destination. Business days do not include Saturdays, Sundays or bank holidays.

Standard

Our Standard Shipping combines the capabilities of Fedex, UPS, USPS, and several regional carriers to deliver packages to you more efficiently.

This allows packages to arrive on Saturday, Sunday, as well as any other business day. Tracking is available through our website, your confirmation or shipment emails, and will indicate the estimated delivery date.

This shipping method is available for shipments to the contiguous U.S. states, Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. Territories, PO Boxes and APO/FPO addresses. Shipping outside the contiguous U.S. states may experience longer transit times.

Expedited and Premium

This shipping method is available for shipments to contiguous U.S. states, Alaska and Hawaii addresses only. Same Day Delivery is a service we offer to deliver beauty from your local store as fast as possible--all through our partner, DoorDash. The Same Day Delivery order cutoff time is based on your local store's closing time; you'll see that at checkout. Orders placed after the cutoff time will deliver the following day.

Ulta Beauty Processing Time

Orders are typically processed for shipment in 1 to 2 days.

Shipping Restrictions

Not all Shipping Methods are available for all shipping addresses. Refer to the Shipping details above for available Shipping Methods for your address.

All orders containing Hazardous Materials have restrictions. See below for details.

Hazardous Materials

Certain items in your order may be considered Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT). Hazardous Materials are as follows: aerosol items, some alcohol-based items, items that contain contents under pressure, and others (e.g., hairspray, nail polish and items containing flammable, volatile or corrosive chemicals).

The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) requires ground-only shipment of Hazardous Materials due to air shipment restrictions and regulations. Therefore, these items cannot be shipped to all addresses.

All orders containing Hazardous Materials must be shipped via Standard and cannot be shipped via Expedited or Premium. All orders containing Hazardous Materials can only be shipped to addresses within the contiguous U.S. states and cannot be shipped to Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. Territories, PO Boxes or APO/ FPO addresses.

ulta.com does not ship to international addresses.

Before checking out, choose "Make This Order A Gift" in your shopping bag. This will give the option to opt into the gift being wrapped (toggle option), and to include a personalized message with the order up to 250 characters.  

PLEASE NOTE: Individual items within an order cannot be bagged, wrapped, or boxed separately. Oversized/overweight items are not eligible for gift services. 

Ulta Beauty makes every effort to ensure that all of the merchandise we feature is in stock when shopping online. 

In the event that an item becomes out of stock after your order is submitted, we will ship the rest of the items in your order and send you an email indicating that one of your selected items is out of stock. You will not be charged for the out-of-stock item. Rainchecks are not available, and we will not ship the item when it is back in stock, as we do not have a backorder system. 

 Looking for an item in store? Visit our list of stores here to locate your desired location! Once located, scroll past Store details, availability, and Services menu to “Brands in Store”. Here, you can find your product by first narrowing down to the brand!

 It is important to note that not all items available online are available in store. When checking out, if you choose to pick up in store, those items will show as available for Pickup within the cart. You will also have the option to add additional items for Ship to Home.

Some Gift with Purchases are online only. No portion of a Pickup order (in Store or Curbside) will qualify for an online only Gift with Purchase. For example, for a split cart order, the Pickup portion of your cart will not qualify for or count towards an online only Gift with Purchase. Some Gift with Purchases are available with Pickup (in Store or Curbside) orders, and will qualify once your Pickup order meets the Gift with Purchase requirements. If the Gift with Purchase can be picked up or shipped, and you have met the requirements in both delivery methods, you will receive the Gift with Purchase via Ship to Home. Each Gift with Purchase is limited to one per customer.
