Returns & Exchanges
Or: When Things Don’t Go According to Plan (It Happens!)
The "Oops, This Isn't What I Expected" Guide
Life’s full of surprises – sometimes your coffee is cold, sometimes it rains on your wedding day, and sometimes your custom QR code hoodie doesn’t turn out exactly as you imagined. Don’t worry, we’ve got your back! This page explains how we handle returns, exchanges, and those “well, that’s not what I thought I ordered” moments.
The Magic Numbers
14-Day Return Window
You have 14 calendar days from the date you receive your order to initiate a return with a photo accompanying your request. That’s roughly:
4.3 weeks
720 hours
43,200 minutes
Or about 30 trips to your mailbox to check if we’ve responded to your return request yet
Quality matters, and we want you or your friend strutting around in that Roast Clothing gear with confidence!
What We Happily Accept for Returns
Our Fault (We’re Human!):
- Printing Errors: QR code looks like abstract art instead of, well, a QR code
- Wrong Size: You ordered XL, we sent you a crop top (awkward!)
- Damaged in Transit: Your package looked like it went through a blender
- Wrong Item: You ordered a hoodie, got a unicorn (okay, that’s never happened, but if it did…)
- Defective Products: Holes where there shouldn’t be holes, colors that shouldn’t exist
- Missing Items: Only got one sock when you ordered a pair (wait, wrong product…)
Legitimate Customer Concerns:
- Size Issues: Our size chart lied to you (we’ll update it and make it right)
- Color Discrepancy: If you received a red item and you ordered orange, but not if the green is a slightly different green to what it shows on your phone or laptop screen.
- Quality Below Standards: The fabric feels like sandpaper (not the premium cotton we promised)
What We Can't Take Back (Sorry, But...)
Customized Items (The Tricky Ones):
- Personal QR Codes: Since these are made specifically for you, we can’t exactly sell them to someone else
- Custom Text/Images: Your inside jokes don’t translate to other customers
- Personalized Usernames: “AwesomeSauce2024” probably won’t work for everyone.
- Spelling Errors or Wrong image: If you spell a word wrong in your order, or use the wrong image – we won’t be able to accept a refund or return.
Exception: If we messed up your customization (printed “Jon” instead of “John”), that’s our bad and we’ll fix it!
Items That Have Lived a Little:
- Worn/Washed Products: If it’s been through your laundry cycle, it’s yours now
- Damaged by Customer: We’re not magicians (unfortunately)
- Missing Components: Lost the care instructions? That’s okay. Lost the entire hoodie? That’s problematic.
Final Sale Items:
- Clearance Products: Marked as final sale (we’re clear about this)
- Promotional Items: Free stuff generally stays with you
- Gift Cards: These don’t expire, but they also don’t return
Refund Information (Show Me the Money!)
Processing Time:
- Inspection: 2-3 business days after we receive your return
- Approval: Same day if everything checks out
- Refund Issued: 1-2 business days
- Your Bank: 3-5 business days (they’re slower than us)
Refund Method:
- Original Payment Method: Credit card, PayPal, etc.
- Store Credit: Roast another friend here
- Bank Transfer: For international customers (case by case)
What Gets Refunded:
- Product Cost: Full amount for eligible returns
- Original Shipping: Only if we made an error
- Return Shipping: We cover it for our mistakes
- Emergency Processing: This method is on request and at your risk. NO refunds are given if we try our best to help you with an emergency order. We’d prefer a high five for trying.
What Doesn’t:
- Spelling Errors or wrong image: If you make spelling errors in your Roast Headline or Roast Message, or if you upload the wrong image.
- Return Shipping: If you changed your mind
- Customization Fees: For personalized items you no longer want
- Processing Fees: Third-party payment fees (not our fault)
