Forever 21 Shipping Guide: Delivery Times, Fees, Tracking and Shipping Abroad

Forever 21 shipping costs $9.99 for standard delivery, or nothing on orders over $50, and takes 5–7 business days once your order has shipped. A lot has changed, though. Forever 21 went through bankruptcy in 2025, its US shops closed, and it now runs online-only under new owners. If you’re wondering whether Forever 21 still exists, yes, forever21.com is open. Here’s how its shipping works now, how to track an order, and how to get it delivered outside the US.

The short answer

forever21.com ships only to the 48 contiguous US states. That means no Alaska, Hawaii, US territories, APO/FPO or foreign addresses. Standard shipping is $9.99, express $20.99, and standard is free over $50 on Forever 21 merchandise. Forever 21 says orders can go to freight forwarders, but it needs a US billing address and won’t take overseas cards. So shoppers abroad use a US forwarding address together with our assisted purchase service.

How much is Forever 21 shipping?

• Standard ground. Cost: $9.99, free on orders over $50. Time after shipping: 5–7 business days.
• Express. Cost: $20.99 (never free). Time after shipping: 2–3 business days.

The free shipping offer on Forever 21’s shipping policy page comes with conditions. It covers Forever 21 merchandise and selected clearance styles. Third-party brands sold on the site are excluded and can add their own fees. The $50 has to be in a single order, after discounts and before tax, and you have to pick standard shipping. Orders over $500 may need a signature.

Forever 21 shipping codes

Forever 21 runs promotions on and off, so codes come and go. Its standing offer is free standard shipping over $50, which doesn’t need a code. Old gift cards, store credit and rewards issued before 1 May 2025 aren’t accepted after the ownership change.

How long does Forever 21 take to ship?

Processing starts as soon as you order. Forever 21 doesn’t process or ship at weekends or on holidays, though. The delivery times above are counted from your shipping confirmation email, not from the order date. In practice, standard orders usually arrive about 7–10 business days after you order, and express a few days sooner. So how long it takes Forever 21 to ship comes down to the option you choose: 5–7 business days for standard or 2–3 for express, after dispatch.

Some items can’t fly, including aerosols, hairspray, nail polish, shaving cream and things with lithium batteries. They go by ground only and can’t use express. Big items such as rugs or furniture may not qualify for express either. If something sells out before it ships, Forever 21 cancels that item and refunds it.

How long does Forever 21 take to deliver abroad?

Forever 21 doesn’t deliver abroad itself, so how long Forever 21 takes to deliver to you depends on the route. Through us, add the US leg (about 1–2 weeks with standard shipping), our 4–5 working days of processing, and then international transit with the carrier you choose.

How to track a Forever 21 order

You’ll get a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number. It can take 1–2 business days for UPS, FedEx or USPS to show the first scan. Sign in to your Forever 21 account to see your order status and history. If something looks stuck, contact support through live chat or email during business hours. If your order went through Global Shopaholics, it’ll appear in your account once we receive it. After we ship it abroad, you get a new tracking number.

Does Forever 21 ship internationally?

No. The Forever 21 FAQs say it ships only to the 48 contiguous states and can’t ship to foreign countries. Forever 21 still has stores and websites in some other countries, run by local partners, but they’re separate businesses with their own ranges and prices.

Does Forever 21 ship to the UK or Canada?

Not from forever21.com. UK and Canadian shoppers who want the US range order to a US address and have it forwarded. UK buyers pay VAT on imports; see GOV.UK. In Canada, low-value courier parcels from the US have a duty-free allowance; see the CBSA. Our UK page explains delivery options.

Shipping Forever 21 abroad with Global Shopaholics

Forever 21 is unusual among US fashion sites because it says outright that you can ship to a freight forwarder. The obstacle is payment, since it only accepts US billing addresses. Here’s how our customers in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Australia and Ghana handle it:

Step 1: Sign up for your free US address

Create a free account to get your US address in New Castle, Delaware, with your suite number. No sales tax in Delaware, so it’s a tax-free address.

Step 2: Send your basket to our team

Build your basket on forever21.com and send it to our assisted purchase team. We buy it with a US payment method and ship it to your suite. If you have a US card, you can check out yourself, with your suite number in address line 2.

Build your basket on forever21.com.

Our team checks out with your US address and suite number.

Step 3: We log and store your parcels

When it arrives, it’s logged in your account. Storage is free for up to 30 days, with up to 210 days on paid plans.

Step 4: Combine your parcels

Combine it with other US orders using consolidation, and ask us to remove the packaging. Clothes pack down small.

Step 5: Choose a carrier and ship

Choose DHL, FedEx, UPS or USPS for your country. We process it in 4–5 working days and send you the tracking.

Optional insurance is from $10, up to 2% of the declared value. Need to return something while it’s still with us? That’s $15. Forever 21’s own returns window is 30 days, and shipping fees aren’t refunded.
