This page is a map of everything you might need after you click &#8220;Place order&#8221;, and a few things you might want to know before. Each section gives you the short version in plain language and then points you to the page with the full details. If you only read one thing, read the quick answers; they cover most of the questions families send us.</p>\n<h2>Quick answers</h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>When will my order arrive?</strong> Printing takes 1–3 business days, then transit takes about 3–7 business days in the US and about 7–14 business days to Canada, Australia and New Zealand. <a href=\"/shipping-delivery/\">Read more</a>.</li>\n<li><strong>How much is shipping?</strong> Free to the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, with no minimum.</li>\n<li><strong>Can I return it?</strong> Yes, any item within 60 days of delivery, for any reason. <a href=\"/returns-exchanges-policy/\">Read more</a>.</li>\n<li><strong>When do I get my refund?</strong> Refunds are issued within 7 calendar days of approval, back to your original payment method. <a href=\"/refund-policy/\">Read more</a>.</li>\n<li><strong>I made a mistake in my order.</strong> Email us within 24 hours, before it ships, and we can usually fix it. <a href=\"/cancel-change-order/\">Read more</a>.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>Step-by-step guides for common situations</h2>\n<h3>Planning a family reunion order</h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Pick one or two designs from <a href=\"/collections/family-matching/\">Family Matching</a> and check that every size and colour you need is offered.</li>\n<li>Send the family the <a href=\"/size-guide/\">Size Guide</a> and ask for measured sizes in writing.</li>\n<li>Work out your order-by date: event date minus transit estimate minus 3 business days of printing, plus a few spare days.</li>\n<li>Place one order with all the sizes, then forward the confirmation to the family within the 24-hour change window.</li>\n<li>When the parcel arrives, try everything on early so any exchange has time to come back before the event.</li>\n</ol>\n<h3>Sending a birthday gift straight to Grandma</h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Choose the design and, if you are unsure of her size, consider a sweatshirt in a relaxed fit or a mug.</li>\n<li>At checkout, enter her name and full address, including any apartment or unit number, as the shipping address.</li>\n<li>Keep your own email and billing details, so shipping updates come to you and the surprise stays a surprise.</li>\n<li>Count the production and transit time back from her birthday and order with a few days to spare.</li>\n<li>If it does not fit, she or you can contact us to exchange within 60 days of delivery.</li>\n</ol>\n<h3>Exchanging a size</h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Email us with your order number, the item, the size you have and the size you want.</li>\n<li>We reply within 1 business day with return instructions.</li>\n<li>Pack the unworn item and post it within 14 days of approval, using a tracked service.</li>\n<li>We print the new size, often as soon as the return is approved, and ship it free.</li>\n</ol>\n<h3>Reporting a damaged or misprinted item</h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Take a clear photo of the problem and one of the packaging or size label.</li>\n<li>Email them with your order number within 60 days of delivery.</li>\n<li>Choose a free replacement or a refund. In most cases, you do not need to send anything back.</li>\n</ol>\n<h3>Chasing a parcel that has not arrived</h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Check the tracking link in your shipping email and the status on <a href=\"/order-tracking/\">Order Tracking</a>.</li>\n<li>If the tracking says delivered, check with neighbours, building staff and any parcel locker, and wait 2 business days.</li>\n<li>If it is 7 business days past the latest estimate, or still missing after a delivered scan, email us your order number.</li>\n<li>We investigate with the carrier for up to 5 business days, then reprint and reship or refund you.</li>\n</ol>\n<h3>Fixing a typo after ordering</h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Email us right away with &#8220;Urgent change&#8221; and your order number in the subject.</li>\n<li>Within 24 hours and before shipping, we correct the address, size or colour, and confirm by email.</li>\n<li>If it has already shipped, we contact the carrier about the address, and size issues are handled as an exchange.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>Help for gift recipients</h2>\n<p>If someone sent you a Kin Folk Tee gift, welcome to the family. You do not need an account to get help. If the size is wrong, email us with the order number from the packing slip if there is one, or the name of the person who ordered and your shipping postcode. We will find the order and arrange an exchange within 60 days of delivery. We will not tell you what the gift cost, and any refund goes back to the person who paid.</p>\n<h2>Help for international customers</h2>\n<p>Customers in Canada, Australia and New Zealand get the same free shipping, 60-day returns and 7-calendar-day refund timing as US customers. Two things work differently: delivery takes longer, about 7–14 business days after printing, and your country may charge import duties or taxes when the parcel arrives. Prices and refunds are in US dollars, so your bank converts the amounts. If you are returning something across the border, email us first, because there may be a cheaper way to sort out a size problem than international postage.</p>\n<h2>Help with the website itself</h2>\n<p>If a page will not load, the cart empties unexpectedly or checkout shows an error, try refreshing the page, clearing your browser&#8217;s cookies for kinfolktee.com, or switching browsers. The cart relies on essential cookies, so blocking all cookies stops it from working. If the problem continues, email us a short description and, if you can, a screenshot of the error message. We will fix what we can on our side and help you complete your order.</p>\n<h2>Planning around busy seasons</h2>\n<p>The weeks before Mother&#8217;s Day, Father&#8217;s Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and the summer reunion months, are when most families order. Printers and carriers are busier then, and delivery can take longer than usual. If a gift matters for a particular day, order as early as you can and check the latest notes on the <a href=\"/shipping-delivery/\">Shipping &amp; Delivery</a> page. We will always tell you if we expect delays, rather than promise a date we cannot keep.</p>\n<h2>Still need help?</h2>\n<p>Email <a href=\"mailto:support@kinfolktee.com\">support@kinfolktee.com</a> or open a request on <a href=\"/submit-ticket/\">Submit a Ticket</a>. Include your order number and, for any product problem, a photo. A person replies within 1 business day. For other ways to reach us and what to include in your message, visit <a href=\"/contact-us/\">Contact Us</a>.</p>\n<h2>Orders</h2>\n<p>Every Kin Folk Tee item is printed for you after you order. Your confirmation email arrives within minutes and lists your order number, which is the key to every other kind of help. One order can include any mix of designs, products, sizes and colours, and it is the best way to keep a family order together. If you need to add something, place a second order; shipping is free either way.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check your order status: <a href=\"/order-tracking/\">Order Tracking</a></li>\n<li>Change or cancel within 24 hours: <a href=\"/cancel-change-order/\">Cancel or Change Order</a></li>\n<li>Questions about the buying process: <a href=\"/faqs/\">FAQs</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Order statuses in plain words</h3>\n<table class=\"policy-table\">\n<caption>What each order status means</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Status</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Meaning</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">What you do</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Pending payment</td>\n<td>The payment has not been confirmed yet</td>\n<td>Complete payment, or contact us if you were charged</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Processing</td>\n<td>Paid and being printed or packed</td>\n<td>Nothing; changes only within 24 hours</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Completed</td>\n<td>Shipped; tracking email sent where available</td>\n<td>Follow the tracking link</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cancelled</td>\n<td>Cancelled by you or us</td>\n<td>Look for the refund email</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Refunded</td>\n<td>Refund issued</td>\n<td>Allow your bank its posting time</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<h2>Shipping</h2>\n<p>We ship from the USA to the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand only, and shipping is always free. Production takes 1–3 business days before the parcel leaves. Delivery estimates are about 3–7 business days within the US and about 7–14 business days to the other three countries. International parcels may attract import charges set by the destination country. Mixed orders can arrive in more than one parcel.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Full details, delivery table and lost-parcel steps: <a href=\"/shipping-delivery/\">Shipping &amp; Delivery</a></li>\n<li>Track a parcel: <a href=\"/order-tracking/\">Order Tracking</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Returns and exchanges</h2>\n<p>You have 60 days from delivery to return or exchange any item, for any reason, with no restocking fee. Start by emailing us, and we send instructions within 1 business day. If we made a mistake, such as a misprint, damage or the wrong size, the return is free and often you do not need to send anything back. For change-of-mind returns you pay the return postage, and we ship any exchange item free.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>How to start, pack and send a return: <a href=\"/returns-exchanges-policy/\">Returns &amp; Exchanges Policy</a></li>\n<li>Choosing a new size: <a href=\"/size-guide/\">Size Guide</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Refunds</h2>\n<p>Refunds go back to the original payment method and are issued within 7 calendar days of approval. Approval means your return arrived and passed inspection, your photo claim was accepted, or your cancellation was confirmed. Your bank may take a few more business days to show it. If you paid in a currency other than US dollars, the amount in your currency can differ slightly because of exchange rates.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Timelines, partial refunds and disputes: <a href=\"/refund-policy/\">Refund Policy</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Payments</h2>\n<p>All prices are in US dollars. The payment methods available for your order are shown at checkout, and only working, connected methods are offered. Your payment details are entered on the payment provider&#8217;s secure systems; we never see your full card number. If a payment is declined, your bank is the only one who can tell you why.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Accepted methods, security and declined payments: <a href=\"/payment-methods/\">Payment Methods</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Products and sizing</h2>\n<p>Our tees are mostly unisex cuts with a straighter, roomier fit than women&#8217;s fitted tees. Sweatshirts and hoodies have less stretch, so go up a size if you are between two. The easiest way to choose a size for someone else is to measure a garment that already fits them. Each product page lists the sizes and colours available for that design, along with care notes.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>How to measure and choose: <a href=\"/size-guide/\">Size Guide</a></li>\n<li>Browse by product: <a href=\"/collections/t-shirts/\">T-Shirts</a>, <a href=\"/collections/sweatshirts-hoodies/\">Sweatshirts &amp; Hoodies</a>, <a href=\"/collections/mugs-drinkware/\">Mugs &amp; Drinkware</a></li>\n<li>Browse by person: <a href=\"/collections/shop-by-family/\">Shop by Family</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Account and privacy</h2>\n<p>You can check out as a guest or create an account to keep your order history and addresses.
