FAQs SHIPPING & RETURNS
Shipping Policy
Decolonizing Fitness ships anywhere in the United States via USPS. International Shipping is also available.
What do I need to know before ordering?
Please keep in mind that all printing is performed by a small community shop which has been severely impacted by the pandemic. Also, all shipping is currently performed by one person. All merch is shipped in the order that it is received & based on inventory.
Some shirt sizes and styles may be out of stock for awhile until I am able to fully recover from the pandemic.
Standard shipment times are currently 5-10 business days. However, shipping times can be extremely delayed.
All shipments receive tracking-numbers and are mailed through the United States Postal Service (USPS). Once orders are shipped and tracking numbers are issued via email Decolonizing Fitness is not responsible for lost or stolen packages (including labels not scanned by USPS).
**You will ONLY be notified (if you have a valid email on file) when:
1. Your item is about to be shipped
2. If your item is out of stock or there is an issue with your shipping address.
If your order is unable to be fulfilled you will receive a full refund.
Due to the potential of lengthy shipping times please DO NOT choose a temporary address for your orders to be shipped to. I will ALWAYS use the shipping address designated at the time of purchase unless you specify otherwise BEFORE YOUR ORDER IS SHIPPED.
**If you would like a detailed update once your parcel is in transit, please contact USPS directly for further assistance.
Returned packages will be refunded or can be re shipped for a reshipping fee of $10 paid by the customer.
Packages that are returned to Decolonizing Fitness due to an incorrect shipping address will incur the reshipping fee of $10 USD.
Decolonizing Fitness is not responsible for shipping delays.
Please allow sufficient time for orders to be processed, packaged, and shipped if necessary. Decolonizing Fitness is currently a small black trans owned operation run solely by Ilya. Just know that I am working hard to expedite the shipping process!
All profits made from merchandise goes into a community fund that helps Ilya provide housing support for Black trans folks. Therefore, your flexibility and support is greatly appreciated!
How may I check the status of my order?
Please ONLY inquire about the status of your order if 6 weeks or more has passed since your order was placed.
Email: info@decolonizingfitness.com anytime! No question is too small. Please allow 3-5 business days for a response to your inquiry.
International Orders
Depending on your country, your order may go through customs. Customs fees will be charged once your package reaches the destination country. Customers will be liable for all import duties, customs and local sales taxes levied by the country you reside in. Payment of these fees is necessary to release your package from customs.
Please note, the grand total of your order displayed at checkout does not include any of the fees mentioned above. If any of these additional fees/duties are required, you will be informed by the carrier prior to delivery. Decolonizing Fitness has no control over customs fees and/or policies.
Failure to pay customs fees will result in your parcel being returned back to Decolonizing Fitness. Return shipping fees will be deducted from your refund.
