Refund policy
Returns Policy
We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.
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 hello@theoriginalmindset.com
Please note that returns will need to be sent to the following address: [INSERT RETURN ADDRESS]
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 hello@theoriginalmindset.com
Print‑on‑Demand Items — No Change‑of‑Mind Returns
Because each t‑shirt is custom‑printed to order, we cannot accept returns for:
• Wrong size ordered
• Change of mind
• Preference‑based reasons (fit, colour tone, design choice)
We encourage customers to check the size guide carefully before ordering.
Damages & Defects
Inspect your order upon receipt and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.
We accept returns or replacements for items that arrive damaged, misprinted, faulty, or significantly different from the description.
To request a replacement or refund, customers must contact us within 14 days of the date of receiving your order with:
• Order number
• Description of the issue
• Clear photos of the product and packaging
If approved, we will provide either a free replacement or a full refund.
Lost, Delayed, or Missing Orders
If an order is lost in transit, we will issue a replacement at no cost once confirmed by the courier.
If delivery is delayed, we will support customers in tracking the parcel, but delays alone do not qualify for refunds.
Exceptions / non-returnable items
Certain types of items cannot be returned, such as custom products, special orders or personalised items. Please get in touch if you have questions or concerns about your specific item. Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns on sale items.
We reserve the right to refuse returns or refunds if:
• Evidence of damage is unclear or inconsistent
• The request is made after 14 days
• The item has been worn, washed, or altered
Exchanges
The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.
European Union 14 day cooling off period
Notwithstanding the above, if the merchandise is being shipped into the European Union, you have the right to cancel or return your order within 14 days, for any reason and without a justification. As above, 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.
Refunds
We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, you’ll be automatically refunded on your original payment method within 10 business days. Shipping fees are non-refundable unless the item is proven faulty or damaged. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too. If more than 15 business days have passed since we’ve approved your return, please contact us at hello@theoriginalmindset.com.
Quality Guarantee
We want you to be satisfied with the quality of the products you order through The Original Mindset. If you are not satisfied with the quality of a product, please contact with us within 7 days of receiving the item and we will do everything we can to investigate and find a solution.
Colour Consistency
Printing is a chemical process and 100% consistency cannot be achieved. Our printing partners use the same print machines, paper types and work processes across all sites to minimise colour variations as multiple factors influence the colour consistency. Colour variations that may occur lie within acceptable tolerance levels and are not covered under our quality guarantee.
Return Policy
Our return policy lasts 14 days counting from the delivery of the order. If 14 days have gone by since the delivery of your order, we can’t offer you a refund or exchange. However, we usually make exceptions to this if necessary. Simply contact us by mail to hello@theoriginalmindset.com
Wrong Sizes
We recommend that you refer to our size measurements and charts before making a purchase to ensure you order the right size. If you're unhappy with the size you've received, first check that the size stated on the garment matches the size stated on the sizing chart. There is a normal tolerance for the sizes of 1-2 inches in deviation to the sizes given in the size tables. Though rare, it's possible that the garment was mislabelled. Let us know and we'll get you sorted it out. If you'd like a different size, get in touch with us at hello@theoriginalmindset.com and we'll let you know what your next steps are.
All sent products are marked with a return address for your convenience. Please let us additionally know how we should handle your return. Do you wish to exchange the size or should we process a refund? The costs for the return shipment is paid by the customer unless the item is damaged or lost in transit.
Exchanges (if applicable)
Please let us know how we should deal with your return by sending an email to hello@theoriginalmindaet.com
You will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item. We will cover the costs for shipping the exchanged items. Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you, may vary. The last thing we want is for you to be stuck with a damaged item. If an order arrives damaged, then please get in touch with a photo within 7 days time of the date of receipt of delivery.
