I RECEIVED A SUSPICIOUS DM ASKING FOR PERSONAL INFORMATION, IS THIS LEGITIMATE?

@hbcuthreads is our only verified page on Instagram. If any page other than @hbcuthreads is tagging you saying you've won a giveaway it is a scam. We do NOT do cash giveaways! Any page posing as HBCU Threads asking for any personal information including cash app or bank account info through DM is a scam. Please do NOT respond!

WHEN WILL MY ORDER BE SHIPPED?

Orders may take 14-21 business days to process and ship. If your order takes more than 4 weeks to ship you will be refunded 100% of your shipping cost. This policy begins 24 hours after your order is placed and processed. 

Orders placed on the weekend and holidays are processed on the next business day. 

My order says delivered but I have not received it, what should I do?

USPS is responsible for the delivery of the package. In the event you are unable to locate the package posted “in-transit” or “delivered” we recommend contacting your local post office.

Shipping Address Issues

HBCU Threads WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE  for any shipping address discrepancies which includes lost, stolen, misplaced, or incorrectly delivered shipments.

It is the customer's responsibility to provide the correct shipping address information. If the address information provided is incorrect or incorrectly entered at the time of purchase we are not able to make any changes.

DELIVERY FAILED

If your order is returned to our facility by USPS due to any address discrepancies you will be completely refunded.

If your delivery fails and contains a sold out item we will invoice shipping fee to reship your order to the updated address if requested. Alternatively you can receive a refund for the cost of merchandise. 

Why is my order still in "Pre-shipment"?

Tracking numbers are sent to your email as soon as your order's label is printed. This means that the shipping process has begun and your tracking number will update as soon as USPS scans your order in. This does not mean your order is lost, it is not uncommon for an order to remain in pre-shipment for multiple days. Please only contact us about this if your order has surpassed the estimated time for shipment.

URGENT PROCESSING

Urgent processing guarantees that your order will be processed before any general orders from that date. It does not guarantee a faster delivery time.
