Shipping Information & Media Mail Notice

Materia ships from Washington state, USA. We aim to ship your order within 10 business days, regardless of your carrier or shipment preference. 

We offer discounted shipping options: Media Mail for US customers and USPS First Class International for our friends located outside the USA.

These carrier options are void of warranty, insurance, and guarantee, and we are unable to provide support for orders placed using Media Mail or USPS First Class International in the event of damage or loss, and we are unable to offer replacements. 

We strongly encourage choosing a more premium shipping option via UPS, DHL, or FedEx. 

Refund & Cancellation Policy

We want you to be happy with your orders, and it's okay to change your mind! 

To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.

To start a return, you can contact us at support@materia.store. If your return is accepted, we’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.

You can always contact us for any return question at support@materia.store

We may notify you via email if your order is returned as undeliverable or unclaimed. This can happen if there are unpaid import fees, or invalid or improperly-formatted address, or any other circumstance outside Materia's control. Returned and refunded orders may be returned to our inventory.

Your total cost for the purchase of any product includes shipping charges. For processed, shipped, and returned products, these fees are paid for, and cannot be refunded to you if your ordered item(s) are returned for a refund, or are undeliverable.
