Orders

Below are some of are common questions about orders

Order Processing

We are a small team, with 40 hour work weeks, benefits, and a living wage. We are not Amazon; nor do we employ external warehouse services for fulfillment.

Orders are typically packed and shipped within 3 business days (Monday to Friday). During sales, our processing time increases to up to 5 business days.

Express shipments will be processed first and will typically be ready to ship same business day. Our cut-off for UPS shipments for same-day pickup is 3pm ET / noon PT. DHL shipments are picked up the next business day. We are not responsible for delays due to carriers not showing up for scheduled pickups, although we will do our best to get express packages dropped off at the nearest UPS store.

If you get an email from NoFraud, it is legitimate. NoFraud is our fraud prevention service and it can occasionally be triggered erroneously. Follow the directions in the email to have your order released; if you are not comfortable with that, please contact us.

Order Confirmations and other emails

We send all emails from "hello@standardandstrange.com". Some customers have reported our e-mails end up in spam or their G-mail "Promotions" folder, so please check those inboxes if you do not see our e-mails in your main inbox. If our e-mails are going to spam, we recommend adding our email address to your contact list or address book in your email application.

Cancellations

If you request to cancel an order before it is shipped, we will apply a 3% cancellation fee for orders over $500 to cover our costs for non-refundable credit card processing fees and labor for the cancellation process.

Pre-ordered items are not eligible for cancellation and are subject to our pre-order terms and conditions.

Returns & Exchanges

Below are some common questions about our products

Return and exchanges

We accept returns for store credit or exchange only on full priced items. We do not offer refunds, including for trying on multiple sizes of one item.

Discounted items are non-returnable. Discounted items include items where a discount code is used to make the purchase, or items that are already discounted in our Last Call section.

All underwear and socks are final sale, no returns or exchanges.

Items purchased during any promotional event where gift cards are issued as part of the purchase are considered discounted, and cannot be returned.

You can return items for store credit or exchange within 14 days of when you received your order, excluding transit times. Your return shipment must be postmarked within 14 days of delivery to be accepted.

You will be responsible for paying exchange shipping costs - our returns portal will issue a shipping label for you and deduct accordingly for applicable items in the USA.

Please do not ship us items without contacting us first.

Making a return/exchange

For customers in the USA, please go to our returns page at https://returns.standardandstrange.com for any returns excluding leather jackets and footwear. There is no need to contact us directly once you initiate a return via the portal.

If you need to return or exchange a leather jacket or footwear, please e-mail hello@standardandstrange.com. Please include your order number and tell us if you'd like to make an exchange or return for store credit.

For international returns, e-mail hello@standardandstrange.com. Please include your order number and tell us if you'd like to make an exchange or return for store credit.

Faulty Item/Incorrect Item

If you feel the item you have received is faulty or incorrect, please email us athello@standardandstrange.comor use our contact form and we will handle your case individually. Please do not open a chargeback or dispute, or else we will not be able to assist you.

Payment

Information about checkout, store credit, gift cards, and the specifics of capturing or returning payments

Payments, refunds, & chargebacks

All prices are charged in US dollars.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, Apple Pay and Klarna. Our payments are processed by Shopify Payments, PayPal, and Klarna.

We are not a payment processor, and we do not have access to any credit card information used for payments, nor do we have access to information on the timing of payments or refunds.

Please DO NOT send us credit card information directly. We cannot process payments over the phone or email this way. It’s also horribly insecure and we do not want to be responsible for this information in an unencrypted form.

If you have an issue with your order, please contact us and do not open a chargeback. If you do open a chargeback or dispute, we lose the ability to refund your order or provide other assistance with your order.

Store credit & gift cards

ALERT: Store Credit Account Page is currently offline.

VIEWING Store Credit

Unfortunately, Rise.AI, the app we use to manage online store credit did not update their customer-facing tools alongside Shopify's updates, meaning that store credit will not be self service until this is fixed.

Before contacting us, please search your email for "store credit" from "hello@standardandstrange.com" to locate your store credit information.

Gift Card Balance

You can check your gift card balance via this page.

If you are unable to locate the information, we are more than happy to look it up for you.

How to use store credit and online gift cards

VIEWING Store Credit

Upon receiving store credit, you will have a store credit account open with us. You can find this by going to your account page at  https://standardandstrange.com/account and clicking the STORE CREDIT button. Please note that in all of these examples the codes are not real, and you will need to use the code(s) sent to you via email.

USING Store Credit

To use your credit at checkout, copy and paste your store credit code into the “gift card or discount code” field at checkout.

Gift Cards

If you receive a gift card, it will appear in your store credit pop-up in your account. You can consolidate all your gift cards by clicking on “Add Store Credit”, and pasting in the gift card code. This will make it easier to checkout with multiple gift cards for large purchases. If you do not have an account with us, you will need to create one.

You can add gift card codes that do not appear in the pop-up by pasting in the number, as well.

Shipping

Everything you need to know about having your order sent directly to your door

Where is my package?

Your label will be generated up to 24 hours before your package begins to move (longer for weekends and holidays). We pay for UPS pickups 6 days a week at the shop, but on occasion, drivers will not show up. If you have a tracking number showing “Label Created” or similar, that means the label is generated and on a box, but has not been picked up.

Once we hand off your package to UPS or DHL (or any other carrier), we have the same access to information that you do via your tracking number.

If you opt out of signature required on your delivery, you are taking full responsibility for possible loss of your package.

If your package is marked as delivered, and you do not have it:

  • Check with your neighbors.
  • Call UPS (or the carrier used for delivery) with your tracking number for more details and to obtain their proof of delivery.
  • Wait at least one business day, as packages will often be scanned as delivered early or by mistake.
Shipping
