What does “Pre-Order” mean?
Pre-order allows you to reserve a style before it officially arrives in stock. By ordering early, you secure your size and colour from a limited production run.
Why does Black Tulip offer pre-orders?
We design and produce in small, intentional quantities. Pre-orders help us produce responsibly, avoid overstock, and prioritise the styles our community truly wants.
When will my pre-order be shipped?
Each pre-order product page shows an estimated shipping window. While we work carefully to meet these timelines, small changes can occasionally happen. If anything shifts, we’ll keep you informed.
Will I be charged at the time of ordering?
Yes. Payment is taken at checkout, just like a standard order.
What happens if my order includes both pre-order and in-stock items?
You can choose how you’d like your order handled at checkout:
- Ship together (default)
Your full order ships once the pre-order item is ready. - Split shipping (optional)
In-stock items ship immediately.
Pre-order items ship separately once available.
How does split shipping work?
If you choose split shipping:
- Your order is separated at our warehouse
- You may receive more than one tracking number
- Every shipment is fully tracked for peace of mind
What if my size doesn’t fit when my pre-order arrives?
No problem. Pre-orders follow the same returns policy as standard orders.
Can I cancel or change a pre-order?
Yes. If your pre-order hasn’t entered processing, you can request a cancellation or change by emailing customercare@blacktulipstudio.com with your order number.
Will I receive updates about my pre-order?
Yes. You’ll receive a confirmation email after ordering and another once your order ships. If there are any updates along the way, we’ll always let you know.
Will pre-order styles sell out?
Often, yes. Pre-order quantities are limited by design. Reserving early is the best way to secure your preferred size and colour.

How to measure your feet ?
To ensure the best fit, follow these simple steps to measure your feet accurately at home:
Step 1: Place the Paper
Place a sheet of paper on a flat floor with one edge against a wall. Secure it with tape so it doesn’t move.
Step 2: Stand and Mark
Stand with your heel gently touching the wall. Keep your foot flat and your weight evenly distributed. Using a pen or pencil, mark the tip of your longest toe.
Step 3: Measure
Measure the distance from the wall to the mark in centimetres (cm).
Step 4: Measure Both Feet
Repeat the process for the other foot. If there is a difference, use the longer measurement.
Step 5: Choose Your Size
Match your foot length (cm) with the Black Tulip size chart to find your correct EU size.
