*JULY 2025 UPDATE: due to the high volume of orders we're receiving, shipping and local delivery of orders may be delayed. However, this will not impact the direct benefit to people in need via Feeding America and the Global Foodbanking Network.
FAQS, Shipping & Returns Policy
Introduction
Yes it’s boring. And it’s certainly not Omar Sy sexy*. But it’s as vital as an upper lip wax before a first date. So grab a snack and set your phone to do not disturb as we go through everything you need to know about sizing, fit, delivery times, return procedures, shipping, the production process and how your purchases make a difference in the world.
*Ok, let’s face it none of this is sexy in any way whatsoever.
Fit & Sizing
How do I find out what size I am?
If you are consistently the same size across brands, then we would recommend ordering the same from us. Additionally, you can find a more detailed sizing chart for each specific garment below the product image and description on the relevant product page.
Also, please check out our detailed fit advice and sizing guide here or on the product page to see whether you should size up or down depending on the style of the garment.
Bust
Measure under your arms at the fuller part of your bust. Keep tape level across your shoulder blades.
Natural Waist
Measure around your natural waistline, keeping the tape comfortably loose.
Hips
Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips.
Production, Shipping & Delivery Policy
Production Times & Quality Control:
On average, it takes around 1-9 business days to fulfill an order, after which it’s shipped out.
All orders go through our 3-step quality check before we ship them out:
- Our automated software checks graphics for quality before printing or completing embroidery work;
- Fulfillment specialists check quality while orders print; and
- There is a final quality check after printing and curing.
We deliver worldwide and our ordering process automatically selects the production facility nearest to your location. This in turn works to ensure cost-efficient shipping costs and faster turnaround for delivery.
Generally, your order will be sent out on average within 4-9 days of ordering. However, it can take longer*.
*July 2025 Update: due to larger order volumes we expect deliveries to be sent out around 9-14 days after ordering at present. We will keep you updated via this website.
Initial Note About Delivery Times
Each and every purchase benefits Feeding America and The Global Foodbanking Network immediately.
Because of our production process (as described above and below), we can’t and don’t make any guarantees for delivery times. However we do guarantee that when you make a purchase, we pay it forward immediately and our goal is to donate at least ONE MILLION MEALS.
Estimated Shipping & Delivery Times
Once the order has been prepared and gone through the quality check process, the shipping and delivery time depends on your location, but can be estimated as follows:
● USA: 1-5 business days
● Europe: 6–8 business days
● Canada: 5-10 business days
● Australia: 2–14 business days
● Japan: 10-20 business days
● International: 10–20 business days
Where will my order ship from?
We work with an on-demand order fulfillment company with facilities in Los Angeles and Philadelphia. Your order will be shipped from the facility which is most location efficient.
Will I be charged customs for my order?
International shipments may incur customs fees. The fee is not in our control and is assessed by your local customs office. For each country the customs policy is different, and the fee is usually based on a variety of factors like weight, value, and size. Additionally, the customs check procedure and customs fees can result in delays to delivery also. Please check with your local customs office directly to see if they apply duties and taxes to your purchases.
We do not take responsibility for customs fees.
My order should be here by now, but I still don't have it. What should I do?
If your order didn't end up arriving, be sure to let us know!
BUT BEFORE getting in touch, please firstly check the order tracking number (received via email after the order has been sent out) to determine the last known status of the package. Additionally, please check the following:
● Your shipping confirmation email for any mistakes in the delivery address
● Ask your local post office if they have your package
● Stop by your neighbors in case the courier left the package with them
If the address was incorrect, though we'd be happy to send you another order to the correct address, it will have to be at your cost.
If the shipping address is correct and the package still hasn’t been delivered, please get in touch with us at info@tangerineyard.com noting your order number and tracking number. We’ll see what can be done. However, please note that we cannot guarantee another replacement due to delivery issues outside of our control and the limited number of pieces available in our drop.
Order never arrived (International Shipping):
If it is an INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY and your tracking number shows that the package has been received by customs, then please wait a further 7 days from the estimated shipping confirmation date. This is super annoying we know, but we’ve found that with international packages most delays are caused by internal sorting issues at the relevant customs office or issues with additional customs fees. In our experience, these issues are usually resolved (with completed delivery) within 7-14 days.
However, if after 14 days you still haven’t received the package, please get in touch at info@tangerineyard.com noting your order number (and tracking number if applicable) and we’ll get on it like a scotch bonnet*.
*Please note that while we will investigate and try our utmost best to find your missing package, we cannot guarantee another replacement due to any delivery, shipping or fulfilment issues outside of our control and the limited number of pieces available in our drop.
How are your products made?
We work with a print-on-demand manufacturer. They have locations in Los Angeles and Philadelphia, so depending on where you are, your orders are printed and/or embroidered and then shipped from the facility which is most location efficient.
How do I track my order?
You’ll receive a tracking link via email when your order ships out. This will also contain a link to an order tracking page where you can input your link to track your package. If you have any questions about your tracking or shipment, drop us a line at info@tangerineyard.com.
I received a wrong/damaged product, what should I do?
We’re so sorry if the product you ordered arrived damaged. To help us resolve this for you quickly, please email us at info@tangerineyard.com within 2 days of delivery with photos of the damaged product, your order number, and any other details you may have about your order. We’ll get back to you with a resolution as soon as possible!
What’s your Return policy?
All our collections are limited edition, made to order and with every purchase we pay it forward immediately. We don’t therefore offer returns and exchanges, but if there’s something wrong with your order, please let us know by contacting us at info@tangerineyard.com within 2 days’ of delivery and we’ll see what we can do.
*As set out in our terms and conditions, our policy doesn't impact your statutory rights regarding returns and cancellations.
Do you offer refunds?
Refunds are only offered to customers who receive the wrong items or damaged items. If any of these apply, please contact us at info@tangerineyard.com with photos of wrong/damaged items within 2 days of delivery. We’ll then review the photos and notify you of approval or rejection of your refund request.
We may ask that you return the items for inspection in the event that the pictures are unclear. We may also ask for you to forward us the copy of your order confirmation so we can cross-check our system in the event of the wrong item being received. Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund.
If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment, within 5-10 business days.
Late or missing refunds:
If you haven’t received a refund yet, first check your bank account again.
Then, contact your credit card company. It may take some time before your refund is officially processed.
Next, contact your bank. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted.
If you’ve done all of this and you still have not received your refund yet, please contact us at info@tangerineyard.com.
Can I exchange an item for a different size/color?
At this time, we don't offer exchanges. If you’re unsure which size would fit better, check out our sizing charts—we have one for every item listed on our store and in the product description section of every dedicated product page. We also provide guidance on whether to size up or down depending on the garment on each product page AND have a detailed sizing guide.
With regard to colors, please note that the colors can look different on your monitor to real life. Additionally, because we run limited edition runs we sometimes have two similar colors for the specific piece you may be interested in. We always disclose this on the specific product page and also provide pictures of the potential alternative so you’re aware of this at the point of purchase.
Again, even with the alternative, please note that the color AND print/design can look different on your monitor to real life and you accept this when making the purchase.
Mislabelling Issues
Though rare, it's possible that an item you ordered was mislabelled. If that's the case, please let us know at info@tangerineyard.com within 2 days of receiving the order. Include your order number and photos of the mislabelled item, and we'll get back to you with a resolution as soon as possible.
Shipping returns
In the event that we accept a return request (see Returns above), you will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item. Shipping costs are non-refundable. If you receive a refund, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund.
In the event that you've received a wrong or damaged item (see the process for Wrong or Damaged items above) and completed the wrong/damaged items verification process successfully, if the resolution involves sending you a replacement product (depending on availability etc.), then depending on where you live, the time it may take for your replacement product to reach you, may vary.
If you are shipping an item over $75, you should consider using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance. We don’t guarantee that we will receive your returned item.
Damaged items
The last thing we want is for you to be stuck with a damaged item. As highlighted above, if it arrives to you damaged, then please get in touch with us within a 2 days’ of receiving your item(s) with a picture of the damaged item(s) at info@tangerineyard.com and we’ll see what we can do.
Wrong size
If you're unhappy with the size you've received, first check that the size stated on the garment matches the size stated on the sizing chart and the size in your order confirmation. Though rare, it's possible that the garment was mislabelled.
Let us know at info@tangerineyard and if the garment was mislabelled we'll see what we can do to get you sorted out with the correct size or refund depending on availability.
If you'd like a different size, get in touch with us at info@tangerineyard.com and we'll let you know what your next steps are. Please note that due to the limited availability of items in our exclusive drops coupled with the fact that we pay it forward to Feeding America and the Global Foodbanking Network immediately, means that it is highly unlikely you will receive a replacement item in the event that you've chosen the wrong the size and there was no labelling error.
Shipping Costs & Estimated Delivery Dates
We offer a number of shipping options to fit your needs. Plus, we've set out the estimated time frames for production, shipping and delivery above.
All shipping delivery costs and applicable taxes are set out on the checkout page for you to review prior to confirming any purchase. Costs are dependent on location and there may sometimes be charges beyond our control. Additionally, we do charge for international shipping.

Slow Fashion, Worker Conditions & Eco-Friendliness:
Tangerine Yard is a slow fashion brand. We do our best to create a positive impact on the environment and community. Firstly, we do limited edition drops once a year. Secondly, in an effort to reduce waste, all hoodies and sweatshirts are hand-printed or embroidered to order by our fulfilment partner manufacturing hubs in Los Angeles and Philadelphia. This means that we don’t hold stock and there is no overproduction as every purchase is made to order.
Additionally, we specifically chose our manufacturing partner because their business was built with sustainability at heart and they operate an on-demand lean manufacturing model. They also continue to refine, develop and implement sustainable practices.
Our production process is fully ethical and all garment workers at our fulfilment partner hubs are paid a living wage and work in clean safe facilities. Plus, all the garment workers and staff enjoy paid time off and healthcare benefits.
Each manufacturing facility has implemented corporate social responsibility initiatives, like LED lighting and recycling programs for paper, plastic, and glass. All ink waste is disposed of to meet environmental regulations. The direct to garment ink systems used are non-hazardous, nontoxic and contain no heavy metals. We also donate damaged products to charitable organizations for reuse and recycling.
Our fulfilment partner and manufacturer source products and fabrics such as organic cotton, airlume ringspun cotton, hemp and recycled polyester and inks from ethical, eco-friendly brands and suppliers who comply with labour, environmental, and safety standards. Additionally, our partner confirms that they source not only from eco-friendly suppliers but ethical companies who comply with all labour laws and provide certifications of such compliance with ethical standards within their supply chain.
Our partner also confirms that fabrics sourced and used are vegan and cruelty free.
Also, we try to do our best to minimize waste in packaging and source eco-friendly packaging materials. Many of our packaging materials are either recyclable or biodegradable. If used, Bubble wraps are made from a minimum of 15% recycled plastic and 10% post-consumer content. Also, where they are used, the kraft tubes are made from 70-100% post-consumer recycled content and 0-30% secondary recycled content. The poly bags used in the packaging are recyclable, low-density polyethylene, FDA and USDA compliant.
January 2025 Update: we've just been informed by our manufacturer that they are dramatically reducing the use of clear poly bags as part of the order fulfillment process. There are some limited scenarios that will still require clear mailers, but they are targeting this change to impact about 80-90% of orders immediately.
Our manufacturer is constantly reviewing and implementing measures to reduce waste, lessent the ecological footprint and make operations more environmentally friendly. By eliminating the use of clear polymailers, they are directly contributing to the reduction of plastic consumption.
As a premium apparel brand, we're committed to doing our part to protect the planet and create a better future for generations to come. While we all love a good unboxing experience that makes you feel ZIGAZIG AHH; we've chosen to minimize waste by using recycled, unbranded materials whenever possible.
We always welcome feedback and invite you to join in the conversation here.

When can I expect my order to ship?
