Questions
Shipping and delivery
We get it – you guys can’t get enough of the Uppari, literally! Sometimes when our Upparis start selling like hotcakes, unfortunately we can completely sell out before our next round of stock reaches our fulfilment centre. If this happens, we will put those upparis up for pre-order before they’ve arrived. We know what date our stock is due to arrive, so this is the date in brackets next to the product name. All orders will then be shipped out to our customers on that specified date. This allows our customers to reserve their favorite pattern and ensure they get their hands on the uppari of their dreams.
You’ve made an order, the sun is shining and an angelic choir is singing in the background knowing your uppari is on its way – now what?
Once an order is placed, our team will carefully collect your Uppari from the clouds and package it with hugs and love, so please allow up to 72 hours for our team to pick and pack your order. All orders are sent when all items are ready in full – this means that if you have a pre-order item in your order, all items will wait until that latest item is available and then will be sent out at the same time.
Sometimes there is too much love to put in one parcel so you may get multiple Uppari packages from our different fulfilment locations across Europe. Not to worry though, they will still be sent at the same time.
Your Uppari will then gently be sent via the uppari Stork (or a parcel service, if the storks are unavailable), and then it should be safely in your patiently waiting hands within **2-8 business days.
As soon as your order is sent you will receive a shipping confirmation email from us complete with a tracking number so you can follow this magical journey.
**Please note: all shipping timeframes are from the advertised date of dispatch. Should your item have a pre-order date (advised next to the product name in brackets), this is the date of dispatch. The delivery timeframe starts from the pre-order date it ships on. If there’s no date next to the product name, you’re in luck – it’s ready to go!
If you’re located in Europe, not a cent! We send out all orders via free standard shipping. When we have picked up and packed your order, our parcel delivery company gives us an estimated delivery time of 2-8 business days.
Yay, time to celebrate – it’s on its way! After we pass your order to parcel service, we will send you a shipping confirmation email which will have a ‘Track Order’ button. This will take you directly to the parcel service site so you can follow the live tracking updates!
Haven’t received your shipping confirmation email yet? Your order may be on pre-order, as confirmed on the website at time of purchase. Be sure to check your original order confirmation, you won’t receive a shipping confirmation email until that pre-order date.
Think your order might be lost in transit? Although a parcel service quotes us 2-8 business days for delivery, sometimes life happens and they aren’t able to deliver within this timeframe. When this is the case, your tracking number may update to advise of a ‘delayed’ delivery date.
If your item still hasn’t been delivered within 12 days, please contact us and we can launch an investigation with the parcel service.
*Please note: Once we pass your uppari order to a parcel service, your package is with a different provider. We completely understand delays are frustrating, however once your order is with the courier, any issues need to be investigated with them. We are able to contact them on your behalf to resolve any issues. Please be assured, we will always do our best to get the issue sorted as quickly as possible for you.
Oops, uppari not being sent to the right address? We can absolutely help change this for you! Provided your order has not shipped, please send us the new details and we can change this over for you.
If your order has been shipped, don’t panic! You can still redirect it via the parcel tracking link we provide on your shipping confirmation email.
*Please note: We can only send your order to the address you provide on your order – if you have provided an incorrect address, and the package is delivered there, we are unable to retrieve it so please check your address carefully!
Yes we do.
All of our upparis are shipped right here in Europe, out of our distribution centres. This means there’s no need to stress about any customs fees, as it’s shipping from your own backyard (or your neighbour’s yard, if you’re located in Sweden!). If you are located in the UK, orders of €1000 may be subject to duty fees.
Product questions
We are just as excited as you are for you to receive your Uppari, and we’ve dressed it up for the occasion! Your Uppari will be tied up in a beautiful ribbon bow, and is secured in your own personal storage bag – we want everyone to feel like their uppari delivery is special, even if it’s a gift to yourself! All Upparis come packaged in a branded mailing satchel, so you know exactly what item has turned up on your doorstep.
Our awesome Upparis (adult size) are currently a one size fits most design, which is loosely based on a size 6XL hoodie. This design is ideal for those 14 years and above for the perfect fit. The Kids Upparis are 30% smaller than the original Uppari and are designed for children aged from 3 to 13 years old. Please see below for further details of our sizing! All of our Upparis are made individually with love so there may be a slight size variation per Uppari.

Been living, sleeping and eating in your Uppari for 3 weeks non stop and only taking it off to go in the shower (hopefully!)? You can find all care instructions on the inner tag of your uppari, however standard care options for our upparis are as follows:
- Hand or machine wash in cold water
- If machine washing, ensure a gentle cycle is selected
- Use only mild detergents (approved for wool/ silk)
- Avoid mixing with other colours
- Do not tumble dry
- Do not iron
- Do not dry clean
However if you really want to best preserve the cuddliness and softness of the uppari for as long as possible, we recommend hand washing it in cold water.
Missed out on your favorite pattern, and now the world just seems that little bit colder? Don’t worry, we continuously restock all patterns, so keep an eye out on the website for when they will be available again.
We love our furry friends, and we know you do too! All Upparis are made with cruelty-free vegan Sherpa-fleece and flannel-fleece. So it feels like you’re cuddling a fluffy sheep, but nicer 🙂
Oh dear, you can definitely tell the ones who haven’t experienced the Uppari themselves yet! We can promise you, the Uppari is worth every penny. Gone are the days of shivering in your pajamas with holes in them that you can’t quite justify throwing away – we ensure to source only the best possible materials for our adorable upparis so that they are designed to last! Once you put that soft, marshmallow-y fluff blanket over you, you’ll know exactly what we’re talking about.
We’re here to take your suggestions – the weird, the wonderful, and the just plain wacky! Feel free to suggest your artistic vision (unfortunately an animal that’s half meerkat/half mermaid has already been suggested, before you ask!). Unfortunately we can’t guarantee your design will be made, and are not yet offering custom Upparis at this point – sorry Uppari friends!
Apart from being made with clouds and marshmallows, our Upparis are made from a premium sherpa fleece interior and soft flannel fleece exterior. Don’t be fooled by the word ‘sherpa’ though – this is a completely cruelty-free and vegan version of sheep’s fleece made from polyester, so rest assured no fluffy friends are now hairless from the making of your Uppari.
Our Upparis are only sold on our online store, so we do not offer wholesale discounts for reselling. If you are looking to make a bulk personal purchase (like for all the mums on the Under 10’s footy team who are shivering on the school sport sidelines) please email us at help@uppari.com for more information!
Nobody panic! If you can’t add an item to cart, it may unfortunately be a sold out item. Try your equal-first or second-favourite pattern, otherwise we update our website regularly so that pattern you have your heart set on should be available again and on our website when they will be available again.

We are working hard behind the scenes to get the Upparis in and out of our fulfilment centres. We strongly encourage that you send through a photo of your receipt from the post office as proof your return has been lodged. As soon as we have this information, we can action either your exchange or refund immediately! If you forget to grab this receipt, we will just need to wait until that one gets back to our warehouse before we can go ahead.
How long does it take for my refund to be processed?
We’re sad to see you go! Should you receive a refund for your order, you will receive an email confirming this has been processed from our end. From there, it will take 2-5 business days to process into your account, depending on your bank. If it takes any longer than this, we would recommend contacting your bank or merchant directly.
