Frequently asked questions
Orders / Shipping / More
Refunds / Returns
All items at Dark Mother Clothing are made-to-order, and are non-returnable / non-refundable for incorrect sizing / buyer's remorse orders.
If you have an issue that needs further inquiry in this area, please utilize the Contact Us section of the website. In order for an item to be considered for refund/return, an inquiry must be submitted within 15 days of the orders delivery date.
Please include your First & Last Name, Order Number, Item in question, and any pictures necessary.
Shipping / Fulfillment Times
Processing & Shipping are taking longer during these times due to the extra safety and social distancing measures being used at different warehouse locations. Due to this, fulfillment (processing) on all orders could take up to 15-20 business days.
Note: Business Days does not include Saturdays, Sundays, or Holidays. This means an order placed on Monday the 1st for example, may not be fulfilled/processed for two work-weeks, or Monday the 14th. This does not include shipping time.
The same principle should be applied towards Shipping/Handling times as well. While the world is trying its best to adapt to the new environment that comes with the pandemic, shipping times may also be delayed, though most carriers are doing their best to stick to similar times prior to the pandemic hitting.
Please remember we are not Amazon. While I am also an avid shopper of Amazon, and love their site, I know not all retailers are the same. Please be patient as orders are sent/shipped in accordance with the times above.
Note: Once the package has been picked up by the carrier (
USPS, UPS, etc.) shipping times are out of our control, and Dark Mother Clothing is
no longer liable for delays.
Theft / Damage Inquiries
If you have experienced a damaged order, please send a email through our customer service email (darkmotherclothing@gmail.com) or the Contact Us form and include the following:
Damage:
- Picture of what the product looks like upon opening / the damaged area
- Full Name and Order Number
This allows us the ability to issue a replacement order.
Theft:
- If you believe you are a victim of package theft, and your items show as "delivered" per your tracking number, please issue a problem report with the shipper (USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, ect.) to start a stolen claims process, as well as a police report. Dark Mother Clothing will not replace stolen items.
Where's the rest of my order?
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this caused our warehouses and fulfillment centers to operate at a different rate. Rather than stalling your order and waiting for the entire order to be ready and shipped at once, you may experience your order be shipped in multiple packages.
This is to operate under a "first completed, first out" method. For example, if you received a smaller item first, like a mug, hat, or stickers, but also ordered shirts, this could be because apparel may take longer to fulfill. But don't worry! The rest of your order is still on the way.
Once the other part of your order has been shipped, you'll receive a new tracking number to show the progress of that order being delivered to your home.

I'd love to sponsor Dark Mother Clothing on social media, in exchange for free items! How do I do that? This is typically called an "Influencer" within the social media community.
