Frequently Asked Questions
🏪 Who is Lewie’s Tanning?
Lewie’s Tanning is a family-owned, independent online retailer specializing in authentic indoor tanning lotions and skincare products. What started in 1999 as my grandparents’ small online shop has grown into a trusted source for customers across the U.S. and around the world.
Our mission is simple — to bring you genuine, high-quality tanning products at fair prices, with friendly service and fast delivery.
🧴 Are your products authentic?
Absolutely. Every product we sell is 100% genuine, new, and unopened. We source all items through authorized distributors and reputable wholesalers within the tanning industry.
We never sell expired, repackaged, or imitation products. Each order is carefully packed and shipped to ensure quality from our hands to yours.
🤝 Are you affiliated with the brands you sell?
No — Lewie’s Tanning is an independent reseller. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of the brands we sell, including Designer Skin, Devoted Creations, Australian Gold, JWOWW, Supre, Brown Sugar, and others.
We proudly carry their products because our customers love them, and we make them more accessible through our verified distributor partnerships.
📦 Where do your products ship from?
Most orders are fulfilled directly by our team from our own stocked inventory.
However, some items — especially limited editions or high-demand lotions — are sourced directly from our authorized distributors once you place an order. This allows us to offer a wider selection and better pricing without listing out-of-stock items.
If a product is sourced from a distributor, it usually adds 1–2 business days to order processing before shipping. You’ll always receive tracking details once your package is on the way.
⏱️ How long does shipping take?
Orders typically ship within 1–2 business days for in-stock items and 2–4 business days when sourced from a distributor.
Transit time within the U.S. is usually 3–7 business days, depending on your location and carrier.
You’ll receive a confirmation email and tracking number as soon as your order ships.
🔁 What is your return and refund policy?
We accept returns of new, unopened products within 30 days of delivery. If your order arrives damaged or incorrect, please contact us right away — we’ll make it right.
Items purchased through distributor fulfillment must also be new and unused to qualify for return. You can view full details on our Return & Refund Policy page.
🌎 Do you ship internationally?
Yes! We currently ship to select international destinations. Shipping costs and delivery times vary by location and carrier. All international shipments include full customs documentation to ensure smooth delivery.
Please note that international customers are responsible for any customs duties or import taxes.
💳 Is my payment information secure?
Yes — our website uses SSL encryption and trusted payment gateways (including major credit cards and PayPal) to protect your information.
Your payment details are processed securely and never stored or shared.
