Question 1

What is the shipping timeline?

Accepted Answer

Each item is made to order to reduce waste and ensure quality. Production typically takes 2-5 business days before shipping. Once shipped, US delivery takes 3-7 business days. Estimated total delivery time is 5-12 business days. During peak periods, delivery may take slightly longer. You'll receive tracking information once your order ships.

Question 2

How do I know what size to order?

Accepted Answer

All of our t-shirts, hoodies, and hats are true to size. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more comfortable, relaxed fit. Sizing charts are available on each product page with exact measurements. Our t-shirts are unisex and follow standard US sizing. If you're still unsure, contact us and we'll help you find the right fit.

Question 3

What materials are your products made from?

Accepted Answer

Our t-shirts are made from premium ring-spun cotton for a soft, comfortable feel that holds up wash after wash. Hoodies use a cotton-polyester blend for warmth and durability. All products are printed using direct-to-garment (DTG) technology for vibrant, long-lasting prints that won't crack or peel. We partner with Printful, a leading print-on-demand provider, to ensure consistent quality.

Question 4

What is your return policy?

Accepted Answer

We offer a 30-day return policy. Items must be unworn, unwashed, and in original condition with tags attached. To initiate a return, contact us with your order number. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer unless the item is defective.

Question 5

What if my product is defective?

Accepted Answer

We stand behind the quality of our products. If you receive a defective item, contact us within 30 days of receipt with photos of the defect. We'll send a replacement at no cost to you, or provide a full refund if you prefer.

Question 6

Do you ship internationally?

Accepted Answer

Currently, we only ship within the United States. We're actively working on expanding to international shipping. If you're located outside the US and interested in our products, contact us and we'll notify you when international shipping becomes available.

Question 7

Is shipping free?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer free standard shipping on all orders over $60 within the United States. Orders under $60 have a flat $5.99 shipping fee. All orders include tracking information so you can follow your package every step of the way.

How is payment processed?

We use Stripe for secure payment processing. All payments are encrypted and PCI-compliant. We accept all major credit cards and debit cards. Your payment information is never stored on our servers — it's handled entirely by Stripe.

Question 9

Can I cancel or modify my order?

Accepted Answer

Question 11

What makes Compiled Designs different from other developer merch?

Accepted Answer

We focus on minimalist, identity-driven designs that speak to the craft of software engineering — not loud graphics or overused programming jokes. Every design is rooted in engineering principles like 'Built with Intent' and 'Designed for Production.' Our apparel is for developers who take pride in shipping quality work and want their clothing to reflect that same standard.

Question 12

Are your designs available on different product types?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Most of our designs are available across t-shirts, hoodies, and hats. Each product type comes in multiple colors and sizes. Check the shop page to see all available options for each design.

Question 13

Do you offer bulk or team orders?

Accepted Answer

We'd love to help outfit your engineering team! For bulk orders of 10 or more items, contact us at hello@compiled-designs.com with your team size, preferred designs, and sizes. We can work with you on custom orders and potential volume discounts.

Question 14

How do I care for my Compiled Designs apparel?

Accepted Answer

To keep your apparel looking its best: wash inside-out in cold water, tumble dry on low heat or hang dry, and avoid ironing directly on the printed design. Following these steps will help your prints stay vibrant and your garments last longer.

Question 15

Will you be adding new designs?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We regularly release new designs inspired by software engineering principles and developer culture. Follow us on social media or check back regularly to see what's new. If you have a design idea or concept you'd love to see, reach out through our contact page — we love hearing from the community.
