Frequently Asked Questions
Returns & Exchanges
Do you offer exchanges?
Yes, we offer exchanges on items that are in new and unused condition within 30 days of purchase. Items returned damaged, used, altered, or otherwise unsellable will not be eligible for exchange.

Can I return an item for a refund?
You can send back items that are in new and unused condition within 30 days of purchase. Shipping cost will not be included in the refund for any order. All orders returned for a refund will receive a processing fee of $10 upon return. This processing fee will be automatically deducted from your total amount refundable. Unauthorized, damaged, altered, or otherwise unsellable product returns may not be refunded.

How long will it take to process my return or exchange?
We do our best to process all returns and exchanges in a timely manner. Usually this takes up to one week after we receive the item in our office, but during busy seasons like our crowdfunding periods or after the holidays it can take a bit longer.
How do I return or exchange a gift?
If the item is in new condition and unused with original packaging and tags, we can return or exchange it. You will need the order number and zip code for the order. If you do not have this information, please email customerservice@coalatree.com and we’ll look up the original order.
How do I know if you’ve received my return or exchange?
We do not provide confirmation that your shipment has been received. We will notify you once the return or exchange has been processed, either through a refund confirmation or with the tracking number of your new package.
Do you offer store credit?
We are happy to offer a store credit in place of a refund or exchange! Just send us an email at customerservice@coalatree.com and we can get you taken care of.
I’m in Salt Lake City. Can I come by to return or exchange my item?
Definitely! Just email us a heads up so we can be sure we’re here when you arrive.
Can I exchange my item if I am an international customer?
Yes, you can! The process is a bit different but we are happy to try and work with you. Please send us an email at customerservice@coalatree.com.
I got this as part of your crowdfunding campaign. Do the same policies apply?
Our Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns are run a little differently. Check the FAQ on the respective campaign page for all the info.
Orders
Where’s my order?
You can check our order status from our website. Log in to your account and navigate to the orders page. To track the package, use the link emailed to you after your order shipped.
Can I cancel or make changes to my order?
Once an order is placed, we are unable to make any changes. Before placing your order please ensure all details, including your address, are correct. If you need to cancel an order or make a change after an order has been placed, please send us an email at customerservice@coalatree.com and we will see what we can do for you!
Where do I apply a promo code?
Once you confirm all items in your cart, there is a box for a discount or promo code on the same page as you enter your customer information. This is on the second page of the checkout process. If there is a free gift automatically added to your cart, you can only use a promo code by refusing the free gift. To do this, check the box that says “I prefer to use a promo code instead of receiving a free gift” on the first page of the checkout process.
Can I expedite my order?
Customers in the United States can pay an additional charge for priority shipping. Currently, we do not offer an option for expedited international shipping.

How long will it take for my order to arrive?
Orders in the United States will usually take between five and seven business days once the items ship, and priority shipping will take two to three. For Alaska and Hawaii, please allow an additional two to three days for your shipment to arrive.
International orders will most often take about two or three weeks to arrive, but shipping to some countries can take longer, especially if the package is held up in customs. Once the items ship from our warehouse we cannot do anything to locate or expedite the package, and anything that happens in customs is beyond our control.
We try to ship all items out within two business days of placing the order. Often orders are shipped the same day.
Where do you ship from?
All domestic and international orders are shipped from our warehouse in Salt Lake City, UT.
What countries do you ship to?
Currently we ship to all but the following countries: Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Benin, Bhutan, Botswana, Republic of Cameroon, Cape Verde, Comoros, Congo, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Lesotho, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sao Tome And Principe, Senegal, Seychelles, South Sudan, Sudan, Swaziland, United Republic of Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Central African Republic, Chad, Djibouti, Eritrea, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Saint Helena, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Togo, Western Sahara
I’m an international customer. Do I need to pay customs fees?
It depends. Depending on a number of factors customs may or may not impose a fee on your shipment, and those fees are entirely the responsibility of the recipient. If a fee is imposed the amount will typically depend on the declared value of your package. We cannot, under any circumstances, alter the declared value on your package.
Miscellaneous
What’s your product warranty?
We guarantee our products free of defects in materials or workmanship for 180 days from the original date of purchase. Our warranty does not cover defects due to normal wear and tear, misuse, neglect, or improper care. If any item fails due to a defect in materials or workmanship, we will work with you to find an appropriate solution. If you are uncertain if your product is still under the warranty period, send us an email at customerservice@coalatree.com
Do you repair items?
Currently we don’t have the capacity to repair your items, but we encourage you to seek local tailors and gearheads to help you out! Getting your items repaired is by far the most eco-friendly option and is much better than throwing out an otherwise useable item because of a small tear or broken zipper.
Do you offer group sales or private label products?
We do. Email jm@coalatree.com and we’ll talk. Stay tuned for more information on this!
Do you offer wholesale pricing?
We offer wholesale deals on a case-by-case basis. Email jm@coalatree.com and we’ll review the request.
Where are your items made?
All of our products are designed in Salt Lake City, Utah, and produced at various locations around the world. Some items are produced locally and some are produced overseas. Over the years we’ve strived to develop lasting relationships with ethical and eco-friendly factories, and all manufacturing facilities that produce our goods overseas are bluesign® certified. This means that the manufacturing process is environmentally sound and that conventional harsh chemicals are not used. Read more about our environmental commitment here.
You should donate blankets to the homeless!
We do! Blanket donation in our home of Salt Lake City is one of our primary Give Back initiatives. Read more about that here!
I’m an industry professional. Do you offer any deals?
Email customerservice@coalatree.com from your work email and let us know what you do. We’ll see if we can work something out!
I’m a photographer/adventurer/traveler/awesome person and am looking for sponsorship! Want to send me free things?
We love that you’re out there doing awesome stuff! But sadly we can’t help out everyone that asks. Right now we’re set with an amazing team of ambassadors that help us out with photography and promos.
