At Rugged Roots Store, we build our return policy with the same durability as our 3/4 sleeve shirts – straightforward, reliable, and built to serve you right. If your gear doesn’t meet our rugged standards, we’ll make it right.

Our Return Promise

We stand behind every stitch in our men’s t-shirts, tank tops, and slide sandals. You’ve got 15 days from delivery to initiate a return or exchange if the product doesn’t fit your lifestyle as perfectly as it should.

Non-Returnable Items

Like a well-worn favorite, some things can’t be returned:

  • Final sale items (clearly marked)
  • Products without original tags or packaging
  • Items showing signs of wear or improper care

How to Return Your Gear

Our return process is as simple as our classic designs:

  1. Contact Us within 15 days at [email protected] with your order number and reason for return (use our template below)
  2. Wait for Approval – Our Georgia-based team will respond within 2 business days with return instructions
  3. Ship It Back – Send the unused item with original tags to:
    Rugged Roots Returns
    4 Chamois Court
    Pooler, GA 31322
    USA
  4. Get Refunded – See refund timeline below

Exchange Process

Need a different size in our men’s t-shirts or prefer another color in our slide sandals? Follow the same steps as returns, but specify “EXCHANGE” in your email subject line. We’ll cover return shipping if the exchange is due to our error.

Refund Timeline

Your money will find its way back with the same reliability as our heavyweight cotton:

  • Credit Cards: 5-10 business days after we process your return
  • PayPal: 3-5 business days
  • Original Payment Method: Refunds always go back to how you paid

International refunds may take 1-2 additional business days.

Return Shipping Costs

We keep it transparent like our fabric blends:

  • Customer pays return shipping unless the return is due to our error
  • Original shipping costs are non-refundable
  • Free return shipping for exchanges of the same product in different sizes
