Why buy from the Unwell Merch Store
Third-party sellers often use low-quality materials and inconsistent sizing. The Unwell Merch Store is the only place where every design is vettered by the community and printed on demand with premium blanks. Fans who order directly get fabric that lasts wash after wash, and prints that don't crack or fade.
Plus, this store supports the community ecosystem. When you buy here, you're helping keep the podcast and its events running. No knockoffs, no surprises.
International shipping options and estimated times
We ship to most countries via USPS or DHL. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on weight and destination. Typical delivery times are:
- US: 5-10 business days
- Canada: 10-20 business days
- UK / Europe: 14-28 business days
- Australia / New Zealand: 21-35 business days
- Other regions: vary, but usually within 4 weeks
Tracking is included with every order. You'll receive a confirmation email with a link to monitor your package from dispatch to delivery.
Customs, duties, and taxes explained
International orders may be subject to import duties, taxes, and brokerage fees. These are determined by your country's customs office and are not included in the product price or shipping cost.
Tip: Check your country's duty-free threshold. Orders under a certain value (often around $800 in the US, but much lower in Canada and Europe) may avoid charges. If possible, bundle smaller items into one shipment to keep total value reasonable.
Tips for a smooth ordering experience
- Double-check your address: Enter your address exactly as your local postal service expects it. Include apartment numbers, postal codes, and any delivery instructions.
- Use PayPal or a credit card: These payment methods offer purchase protection in case of shipping issues.
- Join the community newsletter: Subscribers get early access to new drops and limited-edition items. You'll also hear about restocks on popular products.
- Watch for local pickup events: Occasionally, the Unwell team offers meetups or pop-ups in major cities. Keep an eye on social media for opportunities to grab merch in person.
- Share your haul: Use the hashtag #UnwellMerchInTheWild to show off your gear and connect with other international fans.
How long does shipping take to Canada?
Standard shipping to Canada usually takes 10-20 business days. Customs clearance can add a few extra days. For faster delivery, choose DHL Express at checkout (7-12 business days).
Will I have to pay customs fees?
Possibly. Each country sets its own rules. Many European and South American countries charge VAT or import duties on goods over a certain value. Check your local customs website before ordering to estimate fees.
Can I track my Unwell merch order?
Yes. Every order includes a tracking number sent to your email. You can use it on the carrier's site (USPS or DHL) to see realtime updates.
What if my order arrives damaged?
Contact us through the Contact page within 14 days of delivery. Include photos of the damage and we'll send a replacement or issue a refund. We stand behind the quality of every item.
Do you ship to P.O. boxes or APO/FPO addresses?
