What happens after I place my order?Updated 7 months ago

After placing your order, the next steps depend on whether you purchased a synthetic wig (ready to ship) or a human hair wig (made to order).

Understanding this difference is key to knowing what to expect.


Synthetic wigs (ready to ship)

If you ordered a synthetic wig, your order will typically move quickly through the process.

What happens:

  • Your order is confirmed
  • The item is picked and packed from our Sydney facility
  • It is dispatched within a short timeframe
  • You receive tracking once shipped

What to expect:

  • Fast processing
  • Minimal waiting time
  • Delivery within standard shipping timeframes after dispatch

Synthetic wigs are pre-made, which is why they can be shipped quickly.


Human hair wigs (made to order)

If you ordered a human hair wig, your piece will go through a production process before it is shipped.

What happens:

  • Your order is confirmed
  • Your wig is allocated to our production team
  • Materials are prepared and construction begins
  • The wig is coloured, styled, and finished
  • A final quality check is completed
  • Your order is then dispatched

What to expect:

  • Production time of approximately 4–8 weeks
  • No immediate dispatch
  • Tracking provided once completed and shipped

Each piece is created specifically for your order, which is why this process takes time.


Why the process is different

Synthetic wigs are:

  • Pre-made
  • Held in stock
  • Ready for immediate dispatch

Human hair wigs are:

  • Made to order
  • Individually constructed
  • Completed after purchase

This is the main reason timelines differ.


Important things to understand

  • You will receive confirmation after placing your order
  • Tracking is only provided once your item has been dispatched
  • Human hair orders will not show movement during production
  • Timeframes vary depending on the type of product you purchased

Our recommendation

Before placing your order, always check:

  • Whether the item is ready to ship or made to order
  • The estimated production timeframe
  • Your personal timeline and urgency

This helps ensure you choose the right option for your needs.


Important

Due to the custom and made-to-order nature of human hair wigs, orders cannot be changed or cancelled once production has begun. We do not offer refunds for change of mind.
