When does my order get shipped?
All orders are shipped out the next business day. So if you order anytime before 11:59pm CDT, your order will ship the next morning. Weekend orders will be shipped on the following Monday. Shipping times vary depending on which method of shipping you select (see below).
Once your order is placed, you will immediately receive an Order Confirmation email. So check your email (or junk mail) to view confirmation of your order. On the next business day, you will receive a second email with your tracking number. Don’t delete this email until you’ve received your package! This email will allow you to track your package during its transit to you.

Terms and Conditions for International Shipping
We can't guarantee that your shipment won't be delayed with your country's Customs Office. It happens every once in a while, and we simply have no control over it. Please note that the recipient is solely responsible for payment of customs and import duties, if any. Again, it's out of our hands.
While we ordinarily ship by FedEx International, we reserve the right to ship by U.S.P.S. when the shipping address given is to a PO Box or is in a remote area of your foreign country that FedEx does not serve.
If you purchase ties from us for international delivery, but you fail to pay the customs and import duties, then you are implicitly agreeing to allow us to charge your credit card for any amounts owed.
What is your return/exchange policy?
First and foremost, we want you to be happy.
So if you are not 100% satisfied with our ties, you may return them for a full refund or exchange them for new ties.*
We ship all domestic exchanges to you for free!
To get the refund, the ties must be unworn, in new condition and postmarked within 14 days of the purchase date. To get an exchange, the ties must be returned within 30 days of the purchase date.
***For the holiday season, we will extend our return policy for orders purchased between November 27, 2009 and December 24, 2009. For orders placed only between these dates, returns may be made through January 7, 2010.***
Please include your receipt, along with a note as to whether you are returning or exchanging. If you are exchanging, please let us know which ties you'd like in exchange and we will send them to you at no additional cost (domestic U.S. orders only)!
Credit for your return will be issued back onto the credit card that you used. Naturally, we do not refund for any shipping charges.
We highly recommend that you purchase delivery confirmation. Be sure to include your receipt with the return, and you will receive the exchange or a credit back on the charge card used in the purchase within 3 business days from the day we receive the merchandise.
Mail Returns to:
The Tie Bar
424 Fort Hill Drive, Unit 143
Naperville, Illinois 60540
*Please note that our return policy does not apply to re-sellers, tie of the month club members, custom or specially-placed orders.
*Please also note that, due to abuse of our return policy by wedding parties, items returned which were ordered for wedding parties or any other group (i.e., three or more of the same design) will be subject to a 25% restocking fee. So if you aren't sure that the tie you see is the right color for you, just order one - and if it doesn't work for you, send it back for the full refund! And if it does, order the rest!
And don't worry - there is no re-stocking fee if you are just exchanging your group of ties for a new design!
All returns and exchanges for shirts must be within 14 days, unworn, and in the exact same condition as they were purchased (folded and pinned). Any other returns for shirts will not be accepted.
By law, we are obligated to apply our return policy in a uniform manner, so if you are returning any items, be sure that it is within our 14-day policy. Otherwise, we cannot accept your return.
