I ordered the wrong size/color.

You have two business days — from the time of order placement — to request changes to the size or color of your selected garment. Please email us at support@secondcoat.ca during this period.

Once the two business days have passed, we are unable to modify your order. We recommend using our size guide before ordering to avoid any errors.

 

What is the timeline for pre-orders?

Pre-orders are open for one week, with production numbers sent to our manufacturer once the drop ends; production takes a maximum of 12 business weeks. After completion, products undergo quality checks, sorting, and packaging, typically requiring 2-5 business days. We aim to provide a swift and efficient process so we can always deliver high-quality products.

I think the shipping courier lost my order/My order was stolen.

Once your order is sent to the shipping courier, your package is 100% in their possession. We acknowledge that delays may occur and cause frustration, however, this is not in our control. Any issues regarding your order being delayed, lost, or stolen must be investigated by the shipping company. We are unable to get in contact with them on your behalf to resolve any issues.

 

I would like to exchange/return my item(s).

All orders are Non-Refundable / Non-Exchangable unless the item is flawed. We are unable to switch your size or item, so you must choose carefully before ordering.

Will I be charged duties and taxes on my order?

This can potentially happen. All applicable customs and import duties, fees, taxes, and any other charges are the responsibility of the customer, even if you refuse the shipment upon delivery. If your order incurs additional charges, they must be paid by you to ensure your package is cleared through customs.

Customs authorities mandate that we declare the value of your order directly on the package. Customs agents have the authority to release or deny the release of your package. In rare cases, they may also delay or reject delivery. For further clarification or assistance, please contact support@2ndc.ca.
