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.
Depending on where your order is in the shipping process, we may be able to update your order with a shipping address change or full order cancellation. Unfortunately, we are unable to modify the contents or quantity of items in your order. To request an address change or order cancellation, please contact us and we’ll make every effort to accommodate your request. Once your request is received, a member of our team will notify you via email whether or not your request was able to be processed.

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.

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.
