Frequently asked questions

Due to an influx of orders, you may experience shipping delays.

During our sale, products sell out fast! But don't despair. If the item you're looking for is out of stock, keep checking back. We're always updating and restocking our site with your faves!

Don't be worried if your tracking number says that it has no information yet: it can take at least 48 hours to activate on the carrier's end. Due to a high volume of orders, shipping carriers may take even longer to activate the tracking information and unfortunately we have no control over this part of the process.

When it is activated, just click the number to track your package’s progress.

Once your order is shipped, you may experience delivery delays. We apologize for the inconvenience and we thank you for your patience and support. If you want more specific information once your order has left our door, please contact the carrier directly.

We have two manufacturing facilities—one in Vancouver and one in Toronto. In some cases, it's faster for us to make part of your order in one facility and complete the second part in another. If you have a split shipment, you should see a letter "A" or "B" at the top of the invoice that comes in your box, which indicates that the second part of your order should be arriving soon afterwards.

 

If you don't see an "A" or "B" at the top of the invoice, it is possible that part of your order got missed, and our dedicated Customer Care team will happily replace the missing items.

When your order is shipped from our warehouse, we will send you an email to confirm your shipment - this email will include a tracking number and link to enable you to track your package.

We do not normally accept order cancellations or changes once an order has been processed.

Lush wants you to be happy with your purchase. If you wish to return a product, please contact Customer Care to obtain a return authorization and receive further instructions.

Our ‘Buy Online and Pickup In-store’ option will be turned off from December 24th, 12 p.m. PST/ 3 p.m. EST to December 27th, 10 a.m. PST/ 1 p.m. EST this is applicable to all stores except for our stores in Mic Mac (091), Avalon (092) and Halifax (093) where ‘Buy Online and Pickup In-store’ will be available on December 28th, 2022, 10 a.m. PST/ 1 p.m. EST.

With five simple steps.

• Set your preferred pickup store.
• Select the "pick up in store" option.
• Add Product.
• Wait for your email confirmation with pickup instructions. Your order is usually able to collect within 24 hours.
• Bring your government-issued ID when you head to the store and collect your new Lush goodies.

Of course! You can change your preferred store by clicking on the store name on the header of the website, or on any product page.

Need your fave Lush products ASAP? We get it. When you buy online and pick up in-store, your order can be ready as early as two hours after you place it! And you can also now make sure your fave fresh face mask is ready and waiting when you arrive. It's faster than shipping to your home, plus, it doesn't cost a cent!

No! There are no fees for a pickup order.

On the product page, you can check if other shops have the item in stock by clicking on 'Check other stores'. We are always making fresh new batches, so if you can't find what you're looking for, check back again soon!

All products available in-store are eligible for pickup.

Please reach out to your preferred shop to request changes or cancel your pickup order.

Yes, of course. Just bring the items back to the shop and we will be happy to assist you.

That's great! After you place your order, you’ll receive an email confirmation with all the order details and a confirmation of the pickup shop. Once the order is ready, you’ll receive another email. Your payment will be processed as soon as you collect your order.

Your order will be ready for pickup in two hours. Please note, if your order is placed too close to shop closing, or if you place an order on Saturday and the location is closed until Monday, your order may take longer.

Once you receive an email confirming that your order is ready to be picked up, you have four days to come collect it. After that, the order will be cancelled.

Please bring a piece of government-issued photo ID when you come to collect your order.

Yes...if you tell us they're coming. We can explain! When you place your order, we ask that you give us the details of the person who will be coming to get it. They’ll need to provide photo ID when they arrive to ensure the name on the card matches the name on the order.

Once you arrive at the store, please let one of our associates know you are there to collect your order and they’ll be happy to help. And if there’s a lineup to get into the store, or to pay, just give us a call. You’re not required to wait in line when picking up an order.

We’re sorry—that’s not possible at this time.

Your order will be cancelled if it has not been collected within four days.

We ship our packages via UPS, Fedex, USPS or Canada Post.

More shipping information

We frequently include product samples when we ship purchased items. Unfortunately we are unable to ship samples separately due to the volume of requests that we receive.

Many of our products do not contain gluten, however we do make and store all of our products within the same facilities. As a warning for those with extreme allergies, we take great care to prevent cross contamination, but there's always a risk that they've come into contact with gluten-containing ingredients. Transparency is important to us, and you can find a list of the ingredients for every product on its packaging (if applicable), gift insert, in-store sign and our website product pages. Check the individual product's ingredients list before use.

Many of our products do not contain nuts, however we do make and store all of our products within the same facilities. As a warning for those with extreme allergies, we take great care to prevent cross contamination, but there's always a risk that they've come into contact with nut-containing products. Transparency is important to us, and you can find a list of the ingredients for every product on its packaging (if applicable), gift insert, in-store sign and our website product pages. Check the individual product's ingredients list before use.

Scent is such an important part of our identity, something that makes us who we are. Most of our products contain essential oils, but even our most gentle products have fragrance due to the fact that the ingredients themselves have a scent. In order to remove that scent and be truly "fragrance-free", we would have to introduce more synthetics, which isn't the direction that our company wishes to take at this time.

We recommend keeping your naked products in a dry, cool environment away from sunlight and excess heat. You can use any airtight container, a glass jar or one of our tins. If you use the product in the shower or bath, make sure that you let it drain and dry out before storing it.

All of our potted and bottled products have a sticker on the side that gives you both the date it was made as well as the date by which we recommend you use it. Our soaps and naked products are good for up to 14 months after the date they are made, and we always try to get them to you as fresh as possible. Fresh face masks (sold in the fridge in-store) don't contain any preservatives so they need to be kept refrigerated and expire within one month.

To minimize the need to purchase many different sizes of containers for each of our products, we store just a few sizes and fill the containers based on weight instead of volume.

The cellophane bags we use to wrap our naked items for online orders and in the gifts packed in our Vancouver manufacturing facility are made from vegetable-based cellulose that's 100% compostable when processed at an industrial facility. These bags allow naked products to arrive in the same beautiful condition as when they were made. We're working hard to transition to the same 100% industrially-compostable cellulose for all our wrapped naked products that are packed in our Toronto facility.

Yes! When you bring back five clean Lush #5 plastic pots (black or clear) to our stores, you can exchange them for a free fresh face mask. The pots go to our recycling partners in Vancouver and Toronto where they're recycled into new pots for our products.

You can choose any of the fresh face masks available at that particular store location. Fresh face masks are the ones kept in the fridge. The ones kept on store shelves are not included in the free fresh face mask offer.

If an item is out of stock on the day your order is placed, you will receive an email letting you know that the order could not be placed. We will continue trying to place your order every day. After 15 days, if the product is still unavailable, you will receive another email to let you know. If the item is still out of stock after 30 days, we email to let you know that your order was cancelled, but your subscription will remain active and we will place your next order on schedule. If you have any questions about your subscription orders, please contact Customer Care.

If an item is discontinued you will receive an email to let you know that your subscription for that item has been cancelled. You can contact Customer Care if you would like some suggestions for alternate products.

We very rarely have discounts, sales or promotions. But, when we do, we keep them open to all rather than requiring a special code. We have used promo codes in the past, but have no active codes available at the moment. We also have no place to enter a code during our checkout process.

Some of our previous codes have popped up on user-submitted coupon sites. Sadly, we cannot honor expired promotions but we highly recommend signing up for email as the best way to stay up-to-date on any upcoming offers.
