Shipping Policy

Last Updated: August 2026

Thank you for shopping with The Elevated Hippie! This Shipping Policy outlines how orders are processed, shipped, and delivered.

Order Processing

Most orders are processed within 1–4 business days before shipment.

Some items are made-to-order through our print and production partners, and Outdoor Lifestyle items ship directly from our third-party supplier. These items require additional preparation time or separate handling prior to shipping.

  • Orders placed on weekends or holidays begin processing the next business day
  • Processing time is separate from shipping time
  • Orders containing multiple items — including a mix of in-stock and Outdoor Lifestyle products — may ship in separate packages with separate tracking numbers

Shipping Methods

All orders are shipped using standard shipping by default.

Estimated delivery timeframe after shipment:

  • Standard Shipping: 3–7 business days in transit

We do not guarantee expedited delivery unless explicitly selected at checkout (when available).

Shipping Rates

We charge a flat rate of $6.95 for all U.S. orders under $50. Orders over $50 ship free — no code needed, applied automatically at checkout.

Outdoor Lifestyle products are excluded from this flat rate and from the $50 free shipping threshold. Shipping for Outdoor Lifestyle items is calculated at checkout using real-time carrier rates based on package weight, size, and destination.

If your cart includes both standard Elevated Hippie products and Outdoor Lifestyle items, each is charged and fulfilled separately — you'll see a shipping line for each at checkout.

Outdoor Lifestyle Collection (Drop-Shipped Items)

Outdoor Lifestyle products are fulfilled directly by our third-party supplier rather than shipped from our Kokomo warehouse or Broad Ripple location. Because of this:

  • Shipping cost is calculated in real time at checkout and is not included in our standard flat-rate or free-shipping offers
  • Estimated transit time is 3–7 business days, consistent with our standard shipping — though this can vary slightly by supplier location
  • These items ship and track separately from the rest of your order
  • Availability reflects real-time supplier stock and is subject to change

Print-On-Demand & Made-to-Order Items

Some products are created after your order is placed. These items:

  • may take 3–4 business days to produce before shipping
  • ship once production is complete
  • may arrive separately from other items in your order

This allows us to offer unique, small-batch, and custom designs.

Shipping Locations

We currently ship within the United States only.

We are unable to ship to:

  • P.O. Boxes
  • APO/FPO addresses

Note: some Outdoor Lifestyle suppliers may have additional address restrictions — any exceptions will be flagged at checkout.

Order Tracking

Once your order ships, you will receive a confirmation email with tracking information. If your order includes Outdoor Lifestyle items, you'll receive a separate tracking email for that shipment.

Tracking may take up to 24 hours to update after the label is created.

Delivery Estimates

Total delivery time = processing time + shipping time

Typical timeline:

  • Processing: 1–4 business days
  • Transit: 3–7 business days

Actual delivery may vary due to:

  • carrier delays
  • weather
  • peak holiday demand
  • supplier fulfillment delays (Outdoor Lifestyle items)

We cannot guarantee delivery dates.

Lost, Delayed, or Damaged Packages

If your order arrives damaged, is significantly delayed, or appears lost:

Email us at hitmeup@elevatedhippie.co with:

  • order number
  • description of the issue
  • photos (if damaged)

We will work with the carrier and, for Outdoor Lifestyle items, our supplier, to resolve the issue.

Incorrect Shipping Addresses

Please ensure your shipping address is correct at checkout.

We are not responsible for:

  • packages delivered to incorrectly entered addresses
  • delays caused by address errors

If you notice an error, contact us immediately after placing your order.
