General Info

  • 1. What is HauteLook?
  • HauteLook is a premier members-only site that offers private, limited-time sale events on the world's best brands. Each day, members receive an email invitation to the newest, most exclusive sale events on the best merchandise for men, women, kids, home and beauty - at prices up to 75% off retail. HauteLook is free to join and everyone is welcome - there are no commitments or charges for membership.
  • 2. How does HauteLook offer such great prices?
  • HauteLook partners with top fashion and lifestyle brands, suppliers and service providers to offer insider access to the highest quality merchandise. As a result, we're able to deliver a wider selection of the latest styles at deeply discounted prices for our members.

    In order to offer our members great deals on the widest selection of brands possible, we will occasionally offer merchandise provided by carefully chosen suppliers, rather than from the brand directly. Because we buy in larger quantities from these suppliers, we are able to pass those savings along to our members.

  • 3. What is a HauteLook Independent Sale event?
  • On occasion, we host a HauteLook Independent Sale Event -- another way to offer our members the most exclusive brands and products at amazing discounts. If you see a "HauteLook Independent Sale Event" label next to an event or product, it means that the available merchandise is provided by carefully chosen suppliers rather than directly from the brand itself.

    In a HauteLook Independent Sale Event, you can expect:

    • Guaranteed Authenticity: A HauteLook Independent Sale Event goes through a multi-step verification process and we guarantee 100% authenticity of every product.
    • Carefully Chosen Independent Suppliers: To participate in a HauteLook Independent Sale Event, suppliers must first go through an extensive certification process to ensure authenticity, quality, and integrity of product.
  • 4. Will I be charged anything to be a HauteLook member?
  • Absolutely not - we think everyone deserves access to great merchandise at affordable prices. No membership fees, no commitments -- you only pay for the items you buy during a sales event.
  • 5. How do I become a member?
  • HauteLook is free to join and open to everyone. From the home page, just enter your name, email and a bit of basic information, click "Submit" and you can begin shopping!

Sale Events

  • 1. How does a HauteLook sale event work?
  • HauteLook has a team of experts dedicated to bringing members the most exciting brands and products. We partner with brands, suppliers and service providers to host events offering the widest style and size selection and the best prices possible, usually at 50-75% off retail. When a sale event is complete, we work with our partner or supplier to fulfill the order. Once we receive the items from the partner or supplier, HauteLook then packs and ships the items out to the members.
  • 2. How long does a sale event last?
  • Typically, HauteLook sale events starting Monday – Thursday will begin at 8AM Pacific and run for 48 hours. Events starting Friday or Saturday will run until Monday morning. We always recommend shopping as early in the event as possible – it’s not unusual for styles to sell out quickly.
  • 3. When do HauteLook sale events start?

  • 5. What does it mean when an item is on hold?
  • Each sale item has a set amount of inventory. An item is placed "on hold' when the last available piece is put in another member's shopping cart but has not yet been purchased. Items return to availability if they have been in a shopping cart for fifteen minutes with no activity, so don't lose hope if an item you love is "on hold."
  • 6. How long can I have an item in my shopping cart?
  • You may keep an item in your cart for 15 minutes. During that time, no other member will be able to add that item to their cart. If an item times out but is still available, you can add it back to your cart by clicking "Add It Again."

You can select or add payment options during the checkout process or at any other time by going to "Account" and then selecting "Shipping & Payment."

Shipping - U.S.

  • 1. How long will it take to get my order?
  • Once you place an order, HauteLook shipments generally take 10 - 14 business days to arrive on your doorstep. You can check out the "Estimated Delivery Dates" provided for each product by going to the "Orders" section in your "Account" and looking under "Order Status."
  • 2. What if my order is not delivered within the Estimated Delivery Dates window?
  • We work very hard to deliver your orders within the Estimated Delivery Dates window. On the rare occasion when our deliveries are running later than anticipated, we will update the "Orders" section of your account with the new timing. If you have any concerns, feel free to contact Member Care at 1-888-547-8438.
  • 3. Why do HauteLook orders take longer to arrive?
  • One reason HauteLook offers the best prices and the widest selection is that in most cases, the brands and suppliers only ship what has been ordered once an event has closed. Their shipment to HauteLook can take several business days. Once we receive the merchandise, we quickly sort, pack, and deliver it to our members, but the process can take up to 14 business days. The HauteLook team is continuously working hard to reduce shipping times.
  • 4. How do I track the progress of my order?

You’ll see when your order is placed, when the shipment arrives at our warehouse, and other key steps in the process.
  • 5. Why can't I ship overnight or 2-day service?
  • One reason HauteLook offers the best prices and selection is that in most cases, our brands and suppliers only ship what's ordered after the event has closed. Their shipment to HauteLook can take up to 3-5 business days. Once we receive the merchandise, we quickly review it, pack it, and then deliver it to our members. Due to this model, we cannot offer overnight shipping at this time.
  • 6. Can I ship to PO boxes or APO/FPO addresses?
  • Sorry - HauteLook does not currently ship to PO boxes or APO/FPO addresses.
  • 7. I purchased something from your site but then was told that it would not be delivered. What happened?
  • We work closely with brands, suppliers and service providers to determine the exact number of items available for each event, but occasionally fewer items than anticipated are available after the sale event is complete, which leads to some members not receiving their items.

    Those few members whose orders are affected by these shortages will be notified by email and receive a full refund for the unavailable item(s), as well as a HauteLook account credit ($5 for beauty items, $10 for all other categories.)

    We are working with our partners and suppliers to eliminate this problem.

  • 8. How much does shipping cost?
  • For US orders we charge a flat $7.95 shipping rate with incremental charges for packages over two pounds.
