FAQ

General

What is my size?

Our sizing is a little different to reflect the true bell curve of the average person in the United States. For US, a medium is an 18-20. You can find your size with US using our Find My Size tool, or referencing our Size Chart

If you have any questions, we’re happy to connect you with a fit and styling expert when you book a virtual styling appointment here.

What's "See It In Your Size"?

We shoot all of our products on models across our entire size range so that everyone can see the pieces they love in their size. We’re taking the guesswork out of online shopping. Sizes 00-40.

What's "Fit Liberty"?

Fit Liberty is a revolutionary shopping program that allows you to buy for the size you are right now, in this moment. If your size changes, we’ll replace your clothes and send your new size - for free! Any gently worn clothing returned through Fit Liberty is donated to local charity partners. You can shop the collection here.

We even have a collection for when you’re pregnant, and when you’re not. Shop Fit Liberty (Mom) here.

Please note: Final Sale, Mystery Box, and Denim Drive products are excluded from the Fit Liberty program.

Do you have a referral program?

Yes! You can earn up to $75 to spend with US when you send 3 friends our best-selling Tee Rex (for free). No, it’s not too good to be true. Learn how here!

Do you ever offer discounts or sales?

We do our best to start out with the best, and fairest price possible for our clothing. The best way to earn credit towards your purchase is through our Refer a Friend program. Every time someone you recommend redeems a free tee, you will get $25 to shop with US.

Be sure to join our mailing list to be informed of special promotions, giveaways, and other insider information.

On occasion, we offer exciting promotions for our customers. Individual promotions have applicable terms and conditions.

I accidentally ordered the wrong item. What do I do?

Please make sure you are ordering the correct size and color as we are not responsible for any mistakes you make at checkout. However, if you do make a mistake, our customer service team will do everything they can to help. Please reach out to our customer service team at us@universalstandard.net for assistance.

TryNow

How does the Try At Home program work?

Your trial begins when your items are delivered. We’ll authorize your card at checkout - which does set aside funds for the full amount of the order - but you won’t be charged until after the end of your trial. 

Don’t love it? Send any items you don’t want back to us. From there, the authorization on your account will be released within a few business days (bank processing time), and you’ll only be charged for what you keep.

Credit cards and debit cards are currently eligible for this program. Gift cards are not accepted.

Was my card charged when I placed the order?

We validate your card through an authorization for the full amount of the order. You'll see a pending authorization on your statement, but rest assured that's not a charge. We'll only charge your card for the items you decide to keep at the end of your trial period.

We periodically revalidate your card throughout your trial. In these instances, you will see your original authorization disappear, replaced with a new pending charge. Some banks take a few business days to drop the original authorization, so you may see two pending charges for a day or two. Rest assured we will only charge you for the items you keep after you’ve had a chance to try them.

Note that we will charge your card before the end of your trial if we are unable to maintain the authorization (if the financial institution declines the hold or due to insufficient funds).

What’s an authorization?

Authorizations are what we use to confirm your ability to pay for items if you choose to keep them. They appear on your statement as pending charges. Similar to when a hotel puts a hold on your credit card, we release the funds after checkout and only charge you for the items you kept.

When does the trial period begin?

We track when the package was delivered to your house, which starts the trial period. You have until the end of your trial period to postmark returns.

How do you know not to charge my card for the items I’m returning?

We provide an ample amount of time for any returns to arrive at our warehouse before charging your card. Once the items are returned, we inspect and update your order status so you will not be charged.

Be sure to review the return policy for item condition requirements. If we determine items are not in resellable condition, you will be charged.

What if I decided to keep the items but then want to initiate a return after the end of my trial?

No problem! Our regular return policy is still in effect.

Can I apply a discount code to TryNow items?

Discount codes are not applicable to TryNow items. If your cart contains TryNow items and regular purchase product, discount codes will not be accepted. If you would like to apply a discount code, you will need to purchase all items in your cart.

Can I use a gift card on TryNow items?

Gift cards are not applicable to orders that include TryNow items at this time.

Capsules

What is a capsule?

Capsules give you the interchangeable essentials you need for an even better value. You save 25% when you buy one of these small collections of staple pieces meant to be worn together. You can mix and match the pieces in your Capsule to create multiple looks with minimum pieces (hello closet space). So you can do more with less!

How do returns work for Capsule Items?

All the items in your Capsule can be returned or exchanged via Mail or through a Happy Return Bar here

Please note: All items should be returned with their original packaging. Worn items may not be accepted for return/exchange.

Are my capsule items Fit Liberty eligible?

Any pieces included in your Capsule that are a part of our Fit Liberty Collection are still eligible for one free exchange within a year of purchase should your size go up or down.

What is a Capsule ID?

Every Capsule is unique to your specific color, style, and size selections. The Capsule ID helps US to process your selections quickly and accurately. Once we process your Capsule order, you’ll receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking number so you can follow your package.

Can I purchase a capsule if I live internationally?

Unfortunately, we can not process international orders for Capsules.
