Common Questions About Others
Why do Others items take longer to ship?
These are often made-to-order or limited-run items. Production does not begin until enough orders are pooled. Expect 2-4 weeks before the item even reaches your agent.
Can I return specialty items if they are wrong?
Return policies vary by seller. Some do not accept returns on non-apparel items. Confirm the policy before ordering and document everything in QC photos.
