FREE Shipping Promotions

Orders qualifying 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 UPS, USPS, and several regional carriers to deliver packages to you more efficiently.

This allows packages to arrive on Saturday 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 business 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.

Payment Method

Orders placed with credit/debit card

• Your financial institution will place a temporary hold on the funds for your order as it processes. This is not a charge and the hold will be released once your order has shipped.
• You may receive more than one shipment notice as items in your order ship, but you will not be charged until we send you the final shipment notice. Once you receive the final shipment notice, your card will be charged and the temporary hold will be released.
• We only charge you for items that have shipped. Any item(s) that are canceled and/or can no longer be shipped will not be charged and your final shipment notice will contain an adjusted price.

Orders placed with Ulta Beauty gift cards

• Once you submit your order, the funds will immediately be deducted from your Ulta Beauty gift card.
• Hold onto your Ulta Beauty gift card until you receive your entire order. If we can't fulfill the portion of your order that was paid for with your gift card, we'll return the money to it when you get your final shipment email.

Orders placed with Ulta Beauty Rewards® points

• A temporary hold will be placed on the Ulta Beauty Rewards® points you've redeemed to pay for your order.
• Once your order ships and you've received your final shipment notice, the hold will be released and the points will be deducted from your account.
• How do I redeem my points online?
  • Make sure you are logged in on Ulta.com and your Ulta Beauty Rewards® Member ID is displayed on your My Account page. Once you finish adding products to your bag, proceed to Secure Checkout and confirm your shipping and payment information.

You may redeem up to 4,000 points in a single online purchase and up to 10,000 points in a single in-store purchase. Any points remaining can be redeemed in a future purchase.

For Unsuccessfully Submitted Orders Placed with credit/debit card

Your financial institution will place a temporary hold on your card for the amount of the order when:

• An order is attempted, but not successfully submitted
• The order is ultimately fully canceled

The temporary hold is in anticipation of the order being shipped. You won't be charged for an unsuccessful order submission and the temporary hold will expire automatically within the timeframe set by your financial institution. This is typically 5 to 7 business days.  

Fully canceled orders

If your order has been fully canceled, the temporary hold will expire automatically within the timeframe set by your financial institution. You may also contact us to release the hold with the following information:

• First and Last Name
• Email
• Phone number
• Order Number

If you used an Ulta Beauty gift card to pay for any part of your order, the money will be returned to it at the time your order is canceled.

Any hold placed on your Ulta Beauty Rewards® Points will automatically be released within 14 days from the order submission.

Security

For your own security, you won't be able to submit an order on ulta.com if the billing address, credit card expiration date and/or security code doesn't match your credit card statement.

Tax

Applicable sales tax will be applied to your ulta.com order in accordance with state and local laws, and an estimated tax amount will be reflected in the order summary before checkout.
