Shipping & Returns

Shipping

After an order is placed it will process within 24-48 business hours (note: most orders will ship same day if placed before 11:00 am PT.

Disclosure and Expectations

 Typically we ship domestically with USPS in order to make shipping affordable. (During the Holidays we ship mostly with UPS to ensure deliveries better) The downside is that there is limited tracking with USPS. We advise you allow a week (starting when you receive the first notification that your order shipped) for delivery before reaching out to our team with inquiries. You will likely only get two notifications of delivery tracking: shipped, and delivered. We ask that you understand that we do not deliver the products and so do not have control or the best insights to the whereabouts of your package. You can check the status of your packing with the tracking email you will receive. Ultimately, we will ensure you receive your order, we have no intentions of cheating any of our precious customers! ◡̈  

Delivery errors are rare, but because they exist we recommend that you purchase shipping insurance in case of loss or mistake by USPS or any other 3rd party logistics company. You can elect for insurance during the checkout process. See the reference below.

We are happy to offer returns and exchanges within 30 days.

Custom order/Title request

We cannot do custom orders at this time, but we value your suggestions as they help us plan our new release schedules!

Just remember your suggestions must be works in the public domain. Use this guide here. We are actively seeking relationships with modern IP owners. If you have a connection, let us know! So far they have been very aloof. Despair not! We release a handful of new titles every year.

You can mold it? / Hard edge concern

After time and use, our wallets gets softer and more flexible. It's sort of like a pair of shoes. When I choose a new wallet, I like to create a crease in the spine by opening the wallet and placing the inside center of the spine on the edge of my kitchen counter. I push it down to literally crease it down the spine. This helps soften the spine. Then when the wallet is closed, I like to pinch the edges on the spine to bend it a bit more, and pinch all around the sides of the wallet to soften the edges and corners as well. I tend to do this every time I take my wallet out, because I like them extra soft, like a well used novel. Don't worry about it coming apart, tearing or ripping. If they do start to fall apart, let me know, because that means it's defective. I am very rough on my wallets when "breaking them in" and I've never once had one break on me. Even after using them for over a year. See how our wallets age below:

International Shipping

International Shipping

Brief Disclosure for our international friends. Thank you for your patience with your international order. It's either painfully expensive, or painfully slow.

Depending on where you live it is possible that we will ship your order through a consolidation partner so that you don't have to pay obnoxious shipping prices. That means that your package will first go to a consolidation center in California, then it will be rerouted to you. Thank you for your patience, we appreciate you!

Customs and import taxes

Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. We are not responsible for delays due to customs. In most cases, you will see the customs fees built into the pricing.

It's possible that your international tracking may end upon arriving to your country, this is because international courtiers pass your order onto local courtiers who have no way of reporting tracking updates. So if your package appears frozen, or doesn't meet expected delivery times, you may have to inquire with your local shipping courier to release your package from their possession.
To do this we recommend you visit the courier and present valid identification and proof of purchase.

Thank you!
