General Questions
Can I change my order?
Unfortunately, we can’t change any information on an existing order once it has already been processed for shipment, including details like your shipping address, billing information, item, size, or quantity. We also cannot cancel orders after they’ve been processed.
If you haven’t yet received shipping confirmation, we may be able to process an address change or cancellation. Please reach out to us at the email listed above, select the appropriate category, and we’ll make every effort to accommodate your request!
All orders are subject to our return and exchange policies. Please note an address change or cancellation request is not guaranteed until one of our team members has confirmed your request has been processed.
Once I place an order, when will my account be charged?
If you place an order on our store, you will be charged for the full cost of your order immediately. If you see any additional pending charges on your account, please allow up to 3 business days for them to reverse.

Can I get a different size or color than what is offered through the store?
No. If a size, color, or other variant doesn’t appear online, it is not currently available.
What happens if you run out of stock of an item I’ve already ordered?
In rare cases when an item runs out of stock after your order is placed, we’ll contact you ASAP to exchange the affected item for another of equal value. We make every effort to ensure inventory is accurate to avoid this happening. Note that if we don’t get a response from you within 5 business days, we reserve the right to refund your order in full.

No. If you order a bundle and later decide that you do not want everything included in it, you must cancel the full order for the bundle and purchase the items you do want individually.

Pre-Orders
I ordered an item listed as “pre-order.” When will it arrive?
Pre-ordered items are not available to ship at the time of purchase. Shipping timelines on pre-orders are detailed in the product description, as well as in your confirmation email. Note that unless otherwise noted, any order that includes a pre-order item will not ship until all items are available.
Please check your confirmation email for details on when pre-order items will ship. Shipping and delivery dates on these items are not guaranteed, unless otherwise noted.
While we make every effort to communicate accurate delivery estimates around your orders, unanticipated production delays for pre-order and limited edition items do happen. If an item in your order has been affected by a production delay, we will notify you via email as soon as possible.
Anything else I should know about pre-orders?
Yes! If you do place a pre-order from our store, please note the following:
- Payment is charged immediately at checkout.
- If you are ordering a pre-order item with an in-stock item, unless otherwise noted, your order will ship when the pre-order item becomes available.
- Pre-order timelines vary based on product. Please refer to the product description for estimates on when the item you’re ordering is intended to ship.
- The date listed on the product page is an estimation based on details from the merchandise provider and can vary depending upon demand.
- Details regarding delays are communicated when information is provided by the vendor. If an update has not been provided, we don’t have the information readily available yet.
Shipping
When will my order ship?
In most cases, excluding pre-orders, orders ship within 2-3 business days. Shipping and delivery dates aren’t guaranteed unless otherwise noted.
When will I get tracking information?
You’ll receive tracking info as soon as your package ships, via the email you placed your order with. Make sure to check all inboxes, including your spam folder, if you can’t find your shipping confirmation. Please note it can sometimes take up to 3 days for your tracking link to update.
How long will it take for my order to arrive, once it ships?
Domestic orders normally arrive within 3-7 days of shipping, unless otherwise noted. International orders normally arrive within 2-4 weeks of shipping. Please note that these orders need to pass through the customs office in your country before it will be released for final delivery, which can occasionally cause additional delays.
Once an order leaves our warehouse, carrier shipping delays may occur due to factors outside our control. We unfortunately can’t control how quickly an order arrives once it has left our warehouse. Contacting the carrier is the best way to get more insight into your package’s location and estimated delivery date.
Please note that shipping delays will occur if you provide an incorrect address at checkout.
If your package is returned to our facility due to a shipping error, we’ll reach out to you via the email address provided with your shipping information.

My tracking says my order was delivered, but I haven’t gotten it yet. Where is it?
Some carriers will mark a package as delivered before they actually deliver it. Though unusual, this can happen up to 5 days before an item is actually delivered. You can try contacting the carrier to get better insight into the delay. If you still haven’t received your package after 5 days, and you’ve checked with your neighbors and still don’t have it, please reach out to us at the email listed above and we’ll do our best to help!
My order is shipping to a country outside of the United States. Will I have to pay customs/import fees to receive my order?
Depending on your country, you may be charged customs/import fees. Customs charges and fees are the sole responsibility of the purchaser; we are not responsible for any additional customs charges or fees once your package has left our facility.
Customs fees are calculated based on the contents of each package. If an order arrives via multiple packages, customs fees will not increase but rather be collected upon import of each parcel.
If customs fees and charges are refused at the time of delivery, your order will be returned to us. Once we receive your package, we can refund you for your purchase. If you are unfamiliar with customs fees and charges, please contact your local postal or customs office for more information.

Damaged, Incorrect, or Incomplete Orders
What do I do if my order arrived damaged, incorrect, or incomplete?
If your item arrived damaged, or you received an incorrect item, we’ll need photos to verify the damage and/or to confirm which incorrect item was shipped. This helps us understand what went wrong, and helps to make sure we prevent similar issues for you and other customers in the future.
We are only able to process a refund or exchange for damaged and/or incorrect items within 60 days from the date you received the order.
Once we receive the photos, we’ll issue a return label to you via email. Once the affected item is shipped back to our warehouse, we’ll ship you a replacement. Please reach out to our team right away by emailing us at the email listed above. We’ll resolve your issue as soon as possible!
We are not responsible for any damages to any merchandise once the item has been worn, used, or washed.
What if the item I ordered arrives and it doesn’t look like the photo on the store?
Often times the images used on the store are digital mock-ups of what the product is intended to look like. This will typically vary once the product is created and shipped out.
Feel free to reach out to our team if you feel that the product you received differs greatly from the digital mock-up on the store. Be sure to send a photo or two so our team can see the difference to better help you.
