So, you’ve just signed up for Nuuly, and you’re already dreaming about rocking your first rental outfit. Exciting stuff! But now the big question pops up: How long does it actually take for Nuuly to ship your clothes? Let’s break it down step-by-step so you’ll know when to expect that pretty little box at your doorstep.
TLDR: How Long Does Nuuly Shipping Take?
Once you place your order, Nuuly usually ships it out within 1–2 business days. After it ships, it generally takes 1–4 business days to arrive, depending on your location. Most people get their Nuuly box in 2–6 business days from the moment they place their rental order. So yes, it’s quick—but not instant!
Step-by-Step Timeline: When Will My Nuuly Arrive?
Here’s the full breakdown of what happens from the moment you hit that “Rent” button to the moment you unwrap your Nuuly box.
- Step 1: Placing Your Order
Once you choose your six items and confirm your order, Nuuly gets the ball rolling. You’ll get a confirmation email right away. Time to start the countdown! - Step 2: Prepping Your Nuuly
Your clothes have to be cleaned, inspected, and packed. This usually takes 1–2 business days. Nuuly wants to make sure everything is fresh and fabulous before it leaves the warehouse. - Step 3: Shipping Your Items
After prep, Nuuly sends your package out using UPS Ground. Depending on your location, delivery takes about 1–4 business days. If you’re near one of their warehouses—like Philly or Texas—you could get it faster. - Step 4: Receiving Your Nuuly
Total time from placing your order to receiving your fashion box? Typically 2–6 business days.
Days That Matter: Business Days vs. Weekends
It’s super important to remember this:
- Nuuly only operates Monday through Friday.
- No processing on weekends or major holidays.
- If you order on a Friday afternoon, it likely won’t ship until Monday.
Waiting over a weekend could add some time. So plan wisely if you want your rental for a weekend party!
Does Nuuly Offer Expedited Shipping?
Short answer: Nope. Nuuly doesn’t currently offer express or expedited options.
They keep things affordable with one flat shipping method (UPS Ground). While you can’t speed it up, the good news is—they’re pretty fast anyway!
If you’re in a bind or need a last-minute look, you may want to plan your rental at least a week ahead.
How You’ll Know It’s On Its Way
As soon as Nuuly ships your order, you’ll get a tracking number in your email. Keep an eye out—it usually lands in your inbox within 48 hours of placing the order.
You can use the tracking link to see exactly where your fashion goodies are. Refreshing that UPS page becomes part of the ritual!
Your shipment info is also available in your Nuuly account dashboard, under “My Closet”.
What If My Package Is Taking Too Long?
If it’s been more than 6 business days and you still haven’t gotten your box, something might be up. Here’s what to do:
- Check your confirmation and tracking email.
- Log into your Nuuly account to see shipping status.
- Contact Nuuly support at hello@nuuly.com.
You can also try your local UPS tracking with the tracking number Nuuly provides. Sometimes it’s just a minor delay.
When Should I Place My Order?
Best rule? Order early.
If you want your Nuuly for a special event, try placing the order at least 7 days in advance. That gives you some breathing room just in case.
Here’s a cheat sheet:
- Wedding Saturday? Place order by the previous Friday or earlier.
- Work trip on Monday? Order no later than Wednesday.
- Last-minute party? Might be cutting it close!
Where Does Nuuly Ship From?
Nuuly ships from distribution centers in the U.S.—one of their main ones is in Philadelphia.
This means East Coast orders may arrive faster than those going to the West Coast. Still, they serve all 50 states efficiently with UPS Ground.
Nuuly Return Shipping Time
Returning your items is part of the timeline too!
When your month is up, you need to send your items back with the provided return label. Return shipping usually takes about 1–4 business days.
Rest assured, they won’t start your new rental cycle until your return starts moving in the system.
Common Shipping FAQs
Can I change my delivery address after placing an order?
Unfortunately, once an order has been processed, the address can’t be changed for that shipment. Be sure your address is up to date in your profile before you place your order.
Do I need to be home to receive Nuuly?
Nope! UPS usually just leaves your Nuuly package at your door or mailbox. No signature needed.
Is shipping free?
Yes! The cost of shipping (both ways) is included in your monthly Nuuly subscription. No surprise fees.
Pro Tips to Time It Just Right
- Set a reminder on your calendar about your billing date so you know when you can start a new rental.
- Track holidays—don’t forget to factor in USPS and UPS closures.
- Sign up for text updates from UPS so you know when the package is coming.
