Please allow for 1-3 business days to process and ship your order. If an order was placed after 12PM Eastern Time, it goes out within 3 business days, with the next scheduled pickup.
Oftentimes USPS does not scan packages at the time of pickup, so tracking will show in a pre-shipment status until it's sorted and on its way to you.
Please Note: When placing an order on a weekend, those days are not calculated in processing/shipping times since pickups are scheduled Monday - Friday.
How long will it take to receive my order?
Once your order ships, you can expect your package to arrive in approximately 3-10 business days depending on the shipping method you choose and where in the United States you are located. Orders shipping to Alaska or Hawaii may take an additional 7-15 business days when you choose standard or ground shipping.

Products
Below are some common questions about our products
Are your products all-natural?
Dapper Yankee offers natural products, but not all of our products are considered "All-Natural". In order to achieve some of our amazing scents and colors, we need to use man-made fragrance oils and colorants. However, many of these fragrance oils and colorants are still derived from natural products.
Unlike the other guys, we always want to be fully transparent with our products and that is why we don't use the term "All-Natural" in our marketing. We call it for what it is.
Are your products vegan friendly?
All of our products are vegan friendly, with the exception of Root Beer Barrel soap, which is made with goat's milk and our beard products.
Where can I find the ingredients list?
Dapper Yankee believes in transparency and that's why we list all the ingredients for each product in the product description on the website and on the packaging.
Are your soaps antibacterial?
None of our soaps are formulated to be antibacterial. And to be completely honest, antibacterial soap is not better.
However, all of our soaps are effective in promoting good hygiene and helping to prevent infectious illnesses.

Do you use lye in your soap?
All of our soaps are made with lye (Sodium Hydroxide). And although lye is a man-made chemical, it is one that's necessary to make cold processed soaps.
However, by the end of the saponification process all of the lye is completely out of the final product; thus, leaving us with a natural soap bar.
If you find a soap company that claims to offer a lye-free soap, they are "lye-ing" to you (sorry we couldn't resist the dad joke). Using lye is just part of the soap making process, but again, there is no lye in the final product.
What is the shelf life of your soap?
The shelf life of our soaps is approximately 24 months. But It's best to use your soap before that time so you can get the most out of the fragrance; over time the scent may diminish. It's a good idea to store your soap bars in a sealed container in cool, dry place until you're ready to use them.
Why is the weight of my soap different than what's printed on the package?
When our bars have finished their initial cure time, they weigh between 4.5 to 5 ounces. However, since water continues to evaporate out of the soap, over time it will gradually weigh less.
Unlike other soap companies, we don't list the weight of our bars at the time they are cut, but rather we use a formula to calculate what we think the soap might weigh once it reaches our customer.
The average weight of our soap is around 4.8 ounces. Some customers may receive bars that are slightly more or less than this.
If you want to help slow the water evaporation from your soap, we recommend storing your soap bars in a cool and dry area or keep them in a sealed air-tight container until you're ready to use them.
Is it safe to use natural soap on my kids?
All of Dapper Yankee's soaps are kid-friendly. You can't go wrong with using a natural product on your "Lil Yanks"! Just be sure that you don't get soap in their eyes, it may cause irritation; if this occurs, rinse immediately with water.
However, before using any product on your children, please check with a medical professional to make sure that it's OK. Some kids might be allergic to one or more of the natural ingredients, so it's always best to check before use.
Is Dapper Yankee an American Brand?
YES! We are proud Americans where we were born and raised.
Dapper Yankee started in Newport News, Virginia, which is just a stone's
throw away from the Norfolk Naval Base (Home of the U.S. Navy's Atlantic
Fleet), Langley Air Force Base, and Colonial Williamsburg. But we are now
based out of beautiful Columbus, Ohio. Our founder and CEO is a Columbus, Ohio
native, and a proud Ohio State Buckeye fan!
All of our personal care products are made in the U.S.A.
