Before your order ships
Once you place an order, we begin processing it right away, sometimes within minutes. Because of this, we may not be able to change or cancel an order once it begins processing.
To try to make a change, contact us as soon as possible:
Phone: 877-333-0117, Mon–Fri 8AM–9PM ET, Sat–Sun 9AM–5:30PM ET
Chat: Connect with us anytime through our live chat by selecting the chat option at the bottom of the site or app.
Have your order number ready (you'll find it in your confirmation email).
What we can change before shipment
If less than one hour has passed since placing your order, you may:
Chat with our automated assistant to request changes to the size, color, or quantity of your order, or to cancel your order.
Log in to your account, view your order history, and select “Cancel Order” if it has not yet been processed.
Use the Track Order feature (with your email and order number) to access the cancel option if you checked out as a guest
Note: For order security, we are unable to modify shipping address. We recommend canceling your order and placing a new one with the correct address.
After your order ships
Once your order has shipped, it cannot be changed or canceled. You may either refuse the delivery for a refund once it is returned, or return the items after delivery using our returns process.
Order Placement Tip
Sign in before checkout to save your default shipping address. That way the right address auto-fills every time and there's less to fix later.

Freight Forwarding Orders
If you choose to use a parcel or freight forwarding company, please note the following:
Orders shipped to a forwarding company are at your own risk.
We are not liable for any loss, damage, or defects that occur after delivery to the forwarding provider.
We do not offer refunds or replacements for items that are reported missing or damaged once delivered to a forwarding company.
Orders addressed to freight forwarders may be ineligible for claims if delivery is confirmed.
Additionally, Carter’s is not responsible for lost or stolen packages. For shipping outside the U.S., visit our local international sites
Tracking says delivered, but my package isn't here
If your package is marked as delivered but you haven’t received it, try the following steps:
Check around your delivery location — front porch, side door, mailbox, with a neighbor or building staff.
Wait 72 hours after the "delivered" notification. Carriers occasionally update tracking early.
Confirm that the shipping address on the order is correct.
If you are still missing your package, Report a delivery issue.
Something in my order is missing, damaged or defective
Multi-item orders may ship in separate packages and arrive on different days. Your shipment confirmation email includes tracking details and a list of items in each shipment.
If an item listed in your shipment confirmation was not included in any package, or if it arrived damaged or defective, please Report a delivery issue.
We currently ship from carters.com to U.S. addresses only.
We offer shipping to most U.S. locations, including military addresses and U.S. territories. For orders outside the U.S., we also have local websites serving over 15 countries, including Canada and Mexico.
