Delivery area and rates

BedBathandBeyond dispatches orders from the United States. The standard shipping service described in this policy is currently available only to the contiguous 48 United States and Washington, DC.

The free-shipping offer applies only to Standard shipping. Express shipping is optional, is available only when offered at checkout, and costs $15 even when an order qualifies for free Standard shipping.

Available shipping options and the total delivery charge are shown at checkout before payment. If you are unsure whether your address can be served, contact us before ordering.

Processing and delivery estimates

Orders are processed and dispatched within 1–2 business days after the order is placed. Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding US federal holidays.

Processing is the time needed to prepare your order before handing it to the carrier. Transit time begins after dispatch and is separate from processing time.

  • Standard: estimated transit time of 3–5 business days after dispatch, or approximately 4–7 business days in total including processing.
  • Express, when offered at checkout: estimated transit time of 1–2 business days after dispatch, or approximately 2–4 business days in total including processing.

These are estimates for our shipping services. Actual delivery timing can vary by destination and service conditions. Express shipping shortens the estimated transit time but does not remove the 1–2 business day processing period.

When available, delivery estimates are shown at checkout or in shipment tracking updates. An estimated arrival date is not a guaranteed delivery date. If you need an item for Halloween, a gift, or another specific date, please contact us before ordering to check the available information.

Use any tracking information provided with your shipment to check its progress. If tracking is unavailable or you need help understanding an update, contact us with your order number.

Address changes and delivery problems

Please check your delivery address before submitting an order. If you notice an error, contact us as soon as possible with your order number and the corrected address. We will check whether the change is still possible; changes cannot be guaranteed after processing or dispatch has begun.

If a parcel is delayed, missing, damaged, or contains the wrong item, contact us with your order number and a description of the issue. We may request photos of damage or packaging where available to help investigate. A tracking status marked “delivered” does not by itself prevent you from reporting a missing parcel.

We will review the issue and explain the next steps and any applicable replacement, return, or refund options. Please contact us before returning a parcel so that we can provide the appropriate instructions.

Shipment delays and cancellations

If we cannot ship within the stated shipment time, we will notify you promptly and no later than that deadline. We will provide a revised shipment date if we have one and explain your option to agree to the delay or cancel the unshipped order for a full refund, as required by applicable law. If we cannot provide a reliable revised date, we will tell you.

We will obtain any consent required to continue an order after a delay. If the order must be cancelled because the required consent is not obtained, or if you choose an available cancellation, we will issue the full refund required by applicable law, including applicable delivery charges, within the legally required timeframe. For a cancellation of an entirely unshipped order, this means refunding the full amount paid.

The return-inspection and ordinary return-processing timeline does not apply to these unshipped-order cancellations. Nothing in this policy limits your cancellation, delivery, or refund rights under applicable law.

Returns and contact

Original delivery charges are refunded for approved returns as described in our Returns and Refunds Policy, including its rules for full and partial returns. Original delivery charges and the cost of sending an item back are separate; please review that policy for who pays return shipping.
