ORDERING

How do I place an order?

Find a piece you love, choose your size and available options, add it to your cart, and complete checkout. You’ll receive an order confirmation by email once your purchase is complete.

What happens after I place my order?

Once your order is confirmed, your SYMOTA pieces begin moving into production. Every piece is made to order, so it is created after you purchase it rather than pulled from pre-made inventory.

Once your package ships, tracking information will be sent to the email address used at checkout.

Can I change or cancel my order?

Production can begin shortly after your order is placed, so changes and cancellations are not guaranteed.

If you notice a mistake, contact us as soon as possible. Once production has started, we may not be able to change or cancel the order.

Can I change my shipping address?

If your order has not shipped yet, contact us immediately with your order number and the correct address.

Once a package has shipped, we cannot guarantee that the delivery address can be changed.

Can I send a SYMOTA order as a gift?

Yes. Simply enter the recipient’s shipping address during checkout.

Why is a size, color, or item unavailable?

Availability can change based on materials, garment supply, and production availability. If an option is unavailable, it cannot currently be ordered. Check back later for restocks or new alternatives.

SIZING & PRODUCTS

How do I know which size to order?

Check the size guide on the individual product page before ordering.

Because SYMOTA includes different garments and silhouettes, sizing can vary from piece to piece. For the best fit, compare the listed measurements with a similar item you already own.

What should I do if I’m between sizes?

Use the measurements on the product’s size guide rather than relying only on your usual size.

Also check the product description to see whether the piece is designed to fit oversized, relaxed, cropped, fitted, or true to size.

Are SYMOTA clothes true to size?

It depends on the garment.

Some pieces have a standard fit, while others are intentionally oversized, relaxed, cropped, or loose. The product description and size guide will give you the best indication of how each piece is intended to fit.

Are SYMOTA pieces unisex?

Many SYMOTA pieces are designed with unisex sizing and can be worn by anyone. If a product uses a more specific fit or sizing structure, we’ll make that clear on the product page.

Will my item look exactly like the photos?

We work to represent every piece as accurately as possible.

Small differences in color can occur because of lighting, photography, your screen settings, fabric, and production. Washed, distressed, printed, or embroidered pieces may also have slight natural variations.

What materials are used?

Materials vary by product. Fabric, construction, and other available specifications can be found on the individual product page.

How should I care for my SYMOTA pieces?

Follow the care instructions provided for your specific item.

Different fabrics, washes, prints, and embroidery may require different care. Following the recommended instructions will help preserve the fit, finish, and design of your piece.

MADE TO ORDER

Is every SYMOTA piece made to order?

Yes. Every SYMOTA piece begins production after you place your order rather than being mass-produced in advance.

When does production begin?

Production generally begins shortly after your order is confirmed.

Because production can begin quickly, order changes and cancellations may not be possible once your piece has entered production.

How long does production take?

Please allow approximately 2–5 business days for processing and production before your order ships.

Busy periods, product availability, or unusual production delays can occasionally extend this timeframe.

How long should my entire order take?

For U.S. orders, a typical order includes:

Production: approximately 2–5 business days

Shipping: approximately 3–7 business days after production

Under normal circumstances, plan on approximately 5–12 business days from ordering to delivery.

Weekends, holidays, carrier delays, or unusually busy production periods can extend delivery times.

Will all of my items arrive together?

Not always.

Different SYMOTA pieces may be produced at different facilities. If your order contains items fulfilled separately, you may receive multiple packages and tracking numbers.

Separate packages do not mean you were charged for separate orders.

SHIPPING & DELIVERY

How much does shipping cost?

Standard shipping is currently free on U.S. orders.

Any additional shipping options or charges available for your order will be shown before you complete checkout.

Where does SYMOTA ship?

SYMOTA currently ships within the United States.

Do you ship internationally?

Not yet. International shipping is not currently available.

We may expand shipping to additional countries in the future.

How do I track my order?

Once your package ships, tracking information will be sent to the email address used during checkout.

Use the tracking link in that email for the latest updates directly from the carrier.

I received a tracking number, but it hasn’t updated. Is something wrong?

Not necessarily.

A shipping label can be created before the carrier completes its first scan. Tracking may take a little time to begin showing movement.

If the package remains unchanged well beyond its expected shipping period, contact us with your order number and tracking information.

Why did only part of my order arrive?

Your items may be shipping separately.

Because different products can be produced at different facilities, one package may arrive before another. Check your shipping emails for additional tracking numbers before reporting an item as missing.

What if my package is delayed?

Start by checking the tracking information provided by the carrier.

Shipping times are estimates, and weather, holidays, carrier volume, or other transportation delays can occasionally affect delivery after your order leaves production.

If your package has gone beyond its expected delivery window without a meaningful tracking update, contact us with your order number and tracking information.

What if I entered the wrong shipping address?

Contact us immediately if you notice an address error.

If your package has not shipped, we’ll do our best to update the address. Once it has shipped, we cannot guarantee that the address can be changed or the package can be redirected.

Please double-check your shipping information before completing checkout.

What happens if my package is returned to sender?

If a package is returned because the address provided was incorrect, incomplete, or the shipment was unclaimed, contact us with your order number.

Reshipping may be possible, but additional shipping costs may apply.

Tracking says delivered, but I don’t have my package. What should I do?

Before reporting the package missing:

  1. Check around the delivery location.
  2. Ask anyone in your household or building who may have received it.
  3. Check your front desk, mailroom, parcel locker, secure package area, or nearby delivery location if applicable.
  4. Review the carrier’s tracking details.
  5. Allow a short amount of time in case the carrier marked the package delivered slightly before the actual drop-off.

If you still cannot locate it, contact the carrier first and then contact SYMOTA with your order number and tracking information.

RETURNS & EXCHANGES

What is SYMOTA’s return policy?

Eligible SYMOTA pieces may be returned within 30 days of delivery.

Items must be unworn, unused, unwashed, in the same condition you received them, with tags and original packaging.

A return must be requested and approved before the item is sent back.

Are made-to-order items returnable?

Yes.

Standard SYMOTA pieces are made to order but are still eligible for our regular 30-day return policy as long as they meet the return requirements.

Personalized, modified, or special-order products are not eligible for return.

Can I exchange an item for another size or style?

We do not process traditional direct exchanges.

The fastest option is to request a return for the original item and, once the return is accepted, place a separate order for the size or style you want.

Who pays for return shipping?

For returns due to sizing, fit, or a change of mind, the customer is responsible for return shipping costs.

If your item arrives damaged, defective, misprinted, or incorrect, contact us so we can review the issue and make it right.

Can I return a sale item?

No. Sale and final-sale items are not eligible for return.

Gift cards are also non-returnable.

What if I receive the wrong item?

Contact us with:

  • Your order number
  • A clear photo of the item you received
  • A brief description of what is incorrect

We’ll review the issue and determine the appropriate solution.

What if my item arrives damaged or defective?

Inspect your order when it arrives.

If something is damaged or defective, contact us as soon as possible with your order number, a description of the issue, and clear photos showing the affected area.

Providing everything in your first message helps us resolve the issue faster.

What if there is a printing or embroidery issue?

Send us your order number along with clear photos showing the print, embroidery, and affected area.

We’ll review the issue and determine the appropriate solution.

How do I start a return?

Contact us at info.symota@gmail.com with your order number and the item you would like to return.

If your return is approved, we’ll provide instructions for sending it back.

Please do not send an item back before requesting and receiving return approval.

When will I receive my refund?

Once your return has been received and inspected, we’ll let you know whether the refund has been approved.

Approved refunds are returned to your original payment method within 10 business days.

Your bank or credit card company may need additional time to process and post the refund.

If more than 15 business days have passed since your refund was approved and you still have not received it, contact us.

PAYMENT & SECURITY

What payment methods do you accept?

The payment methods currently available for your order will appear during checkout.

When will I be charged?

Payment is processed when you complete your purchase.

Is checkout secure?

Yes. SYMOTA uses Shopify’s secure checkout system to process online purchases.

Sensitive payment information is handled through secure payment technology rather than directly by SYMOTA.

Why was my payment declined?

A payment can be declined for several reasons, including incorrect billing information, insufficient funds, fraud protection, or a decision by your bank or payment provider.

First, double-check the information entered at checkout. If everything is correct, contact your bank or payment provider for more information.
