  • United States only for now. Outside the U.S. and want a piece? Email us before ordering and we will tell you honestly whether we can do it.
  • Pieces leave within 2 business days of your order, and typically arrive 5-8 business days after that. Drop weeks run busier. If yours is going to take longer, you will hear it from us first.
  • We ship to the address you enter at checkout. Once a piece is handed to the carrier we cannot reroute it, so take the extra ten seconds on that screen.
  • Tracking. Once your order ships, enter your receipt number and checkout email on the Track Order page to see the carrier and tracking link. Not shipped yet? The same form sends your question to a real person, who answers within one business day.

02Returns & exchanges

Culture runs limited drops, so returns work a little differently than at a big-box store. Here is exactly where you stand.

Email us

Within 14 days of delivery. Include your receipt number.

We reply

We tell you where to send it. Do not post anything before we do.

Send it back

Unworn, unwashed, tags attached.

Refund or swap

Refund within 5-10 business days of it reaching us.

Window
14 days from the day your order is delivered.
Condition
Unworn, unwashed, no smoke or fragrance, original tags still attached.
Return shipping
Covered by you on a change-of-mind return or a size swap. Covered by us if the piece is faulty or we sent the wrong one.
Exchanges
Subject to what is left of the drop. If your size is already gone, we refund instead. We will not hold you waiting on a restock that may never come.
Refunds
Issued to your original payment method within 5-10 business days of the piece reaching us. Your bank sets the final posting date, not us.
How to start one
Email info@culture26.com with your receipt number and what is wrong.

Worn it? Washed it? Tags off?

Then we cannot take it back. That is not us being difficult. A returned piece goes back into a limited run, and the next person deserves it the way you got it.

03Wrong or faulty piece

If a piece arrives damaged, flawed, or simply is not what you ordered, that is on us. Email info@culture26.com within 14 days of delivery with your receipt number and a photo. We cover the return shipping and you choose: a replacement if the size is still in stock, or a full refund including anything you paid in tax.

04Your order reference

When your order goes through, Stripe sends a confirmation email on our behalf with a receipt number on it, usually in the form 1234-5678. That number is your order reference. Keep the email, quote the number in anything you send us, and we will find your order immediately.

No confirmation email within a few minutes? Check spam first, then email us. A missing email does not mean a missing order.

05Changes & cancellations

Email us as fast as you can. If the piece has not shipped, we will change the size or address, or cancel and refund it in full. Once it is with the carrier it becomes a return, and the 14-day policy above takes over.

06Payment & tax

How do I pay?
Payments run through Stripe over an encrypted connection. Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay are all accepted.
Does Culture see my card?
No. Card details go straight to Stripe and never touch our systems.
Is tax included in the price?
Prices on the site are shown before tax. Sales tax is added at checkout where we are required to collect it, and it is shown to you before you pay.
What happens to my address?
It is used to ship your order. That is it. We do not sell it, rent it, or hand it to anyone who is not carrying your parcel.

07Contact

One inbox, read by a person: info@culture26.com. We reply within one business day. If something has gone wrong with your order, say so plainly and include your receipt number. It gets sorted faster that way.
