Shipping rates and bundle shipping

Available services and shipping charges are shown at checkout. Rates depend on the selected service and the order, including its size and garment mix.

Orders with 3 or more eligible T-Shirts and/or Sweatshirts qualify for free US Standard shipping. Priority and Express upgrades are charged separately at the rates shown at checkout.

Tracking

When your order ships, we will email your tracking information. Carrier scans may take time to appear after a label is created.

Lost or missing packages

If tracking has not updated for 10 business days, or shows delivered but you cannot find your package, contact support@fadedlore.com as soon as possible, preferably within 30 days of the estimated delivery date. For a missing delivered package, check the delivery location, household members, neighbors and your local post office. You can contact us while these checks are underway.

We will investigate with the carrier. A tracking delay alone does not confirm a loss, and a delivered scan alone does not resolve a missing-package claim. If the package is confirmed lost in transit or misdelivered, we will offer a free replacement or a refund.

Address changes and returned packages

Please check your shipping address at checkout. If you notice an error, contact us immediately, ideally within 2 hours of placing your order. A change is not guaranteed, even within this time, and may not be possible once production or shipping has started.

If a package is returned because of an incorrect or incomplete address entered at checkout, we will confirm the corrected address and any reshipping cost before arranging reshipment. If the address error was ours, we will cover the correction.

Holidays and delays

Holiday order cut-off dates may apply. Production and carrier transit times can change during holidays, peak seasons or disruptions. Any confirmed holiday cut-off dates will be posted on our website. Order early if you need an item for a particular occasion.

If we cannot ship within the stated production timeframe, we will notify you of the delay and revised expected shipment date, and offer the option to accept the delay or cancel the unshipped items for a prompt refund, as required by applicable law.
