90-Day Warranty Policy

We offer a 90-day Warranty for all items purchased on our site! The warranty begins once your package has been delivered. This policy has been in effect since April 16, 2022. Items deemed defective by the manufacturer or damaged within the policy timeframe are covered.


If you have received an incorrect item, are missing an item, or your item is damaged, please submit a ticket to our Support Team as soon as possible.

Failure to report any damaged or defective items may result in your item being subject to our Returns Policy, including any costs associated with a denied return.


What Is Considered Defective or Damaged?

We stand behind the quality of our pieces. If you experience any of the following issues, they may be covered under our warranty policy:

  • Holes

  • Rips/Tears

  • Logo/Label Issues

  • Manufacturing Errors

  • Missing Features

  • Other one-of-a-kind instances as deemed by our Support Team


Dye Process Disclaimer

All of our pieces undergo a dip-dyeing process to achieve Alphalete’s exclusive color palettes. Due to this process, please note:

  • The various dyes may slightly alter the fit or feel of the material.

  • Compression and stretch may vary between colors of the same style.

  • Items in the same color may have slight shade variations across different fabrics (e.g., a seamless legging vs. a bra from a different collection).


Color Variations

  • Some product descriptions may mention possible color variations.

  • The combination of pigments used to create each color may cause slight differences in appearance under different lighting conditions.

  • While we strive to display colors as accurately as possible, items shown in studio lighting may appear slightly different in indoor or natural lighting.

  • We are not responsible for discrepancies caused by screen settings or device display customizations.


Sheerness & Care Guide

Sheerness

  • Some pieces may include sheerness at full stretch, as noted in their product descriptions.

  • Sheerness is not considered a defect, so please return any unwanted items due to sheerness within the returns timeframe.

Care Guide

  • Each product page includes specific care instructions for that item.

  • Failure to follow the care guide may void the Warranty Policy.


Are Sale Items Covered Under the Warranty Policy?

  • Yes! Items purchased directly from Alphalete Athletics are covered under our 90-day Warranty Policy, including discounted and final sale pieces.

  • Please note: Items discounted at 30% or more are considered final sale and are ineligible for returns, refunds, or exchanges.

Don't stress! We suggest double checking around your property, mailbox, front desk/locker area, and with neighbors first. If there's no sign of your package, it is recommended by the couriers we use to wait an additional 5 business days for delivery.

It is very common for packages to be delivered a few days after initially being marked as delivered. If you have waited these extra days, or would like further assistance looking into your package's delivery, please contact our Support Team!

Forwarding Addresses We strongly discourage and prohibit the use of forwarding addresses on our websites.
At this time, our UK warehouse provides "Rest of the world" shipping; these locations can be seen at checkout.

If a forwarding address in use is detected, your order is subject to immediate cancellation. We highly recommend using a true residential address, as our UK warehouse caters to shipping to the rest of the world.

Please note that Alphalete may not be held liable for lost orders that were shipped to a forwarding address. For more information on this matter please contact our support team!

Tracking Number Identifications

  • DHL tracking numbers begin with GM, LX, or RX.

  • DPD/DPP tracking numbers begin with RS. These packages are transferred to your local courier for final delivery. For updates after the transfer, please contact your local courier.

  • DX tracking numbers vary in length and can contain both numbers and letters.

  • Parcelforce tracking numbers can be 9, 11, 13, 14, 16, or 21 characters long and may include both numbers and letters.

Your tracking number can always be found in your shipping confirmation email once your order has been fulfilled.

Orders placed on our UK website and shipped outside the United Kingdom may be subject to import fees and taxes based on the retail value of the package.

Important Notice About Visa Gift Cards

We do not recommend using a Visa Gift Card at checkout. If a return, exchange, or refund is needed, the funds will automatically be credited back to the original payment method.

If the Visa Gift Card has been disposed of after use, Alphalete cannot retrieve the funds. It is the customer's responsibility to keep the original card until the order is finalized.

Absolutely! There are no restrictions whatsoever. Please note we are unable to apply gift cards and discount codes to an order once it is placed, we apologize for any inconvenience.

If you paid fully with a gift card: The amount will be returned to the same gift card you originally used after your refund is processed.


If you paid partially with a gift card: The amount will be returned to the gift card used on the order first. Any remaining amount will then be issued to the other form of payment used on the order.


If you no longer have that gift card code or have additional questions, please contact our Support Team.

If you have received or purchased a gift card from one site, it can only be used on that particular site.

For example, if you've purchased or received a gift card from alphaleteathletics.com, it can only be used on that website (our US site). It will not be valid on alphaleteathletics.ca or alphalete.uk. Please note we are unable to apply gift cards and discount codes to an order once it is placed, we apologize for any inconvenience.

Be sure that you are shopping in the correct store!

For example, if your gift card was purchased through our UK store, it can only be used on the UK website.

You'll also want to double-check that your gift card's code is copied and pasted exactly as shown — no extra spaces or characters. Hopefully one of these tips did the trick, but if your gift card is still not working, contact our Support Team so they can give you a hand!

Athlete and Affiliate Codes: Our Athlete and Affiliate Codes are a way to show us how much you support your favorite members of our team as well as enjoy 10% off your order!


Please note that we are unable to apply an athlete/affiliate code, discount, or reimburse this percentage for an existing order.


Discount codes: We offer a 10% discount to our first responders, military personnel, and students through the identity verification program offered by VerifyPass. You can find their data protection policy here. Click here to receive your discount!

At this time, only one discount code or athlete/affiliate code can be used per order. For example, if you have a free shipping discount and a 10% discount, choose the one that suits your particular order best, and save the other for next time! Please note we are unable to apply gift cards and discount codes to an order once it is placed, we apologize for any inconvenience.
Make sure you are entering the code exactly how it is shown, without any extra spaces or characters. You may also want to double-check that you are shopping on the same website your code was issued from. For example, if the code was issued to you from our US store, it can only be used on that store (and vice versa). If your code still isn't working, please contact our Support Team and they will sort this out for you as quickly as possible!

General Questions

Alphalete is not a brand, it’s not a product line, and it’s most certainly not a supremely fitted Performance Tee (although we are known to make those exceptionally well).

Alphalete is a group of people. People with a relentless focus on making small, incremental improvements each and every day.

Since day one, our Mission Statement has pushed us to innovate and grow. Our focus has always been to bring value to our community, to lift someone’s spirits, and to always listen to feedback in our pursuit to become the best that we can be.

We do this by always keeping our values at the forefront of everything we do, encouraging people to never stop developing themselves, to keep an open mind to what tomorrow may bring, and most importantly, to do what they say they are going to do when they say they're going to do it.

If you're ready to embrace these core values, continue tagging us in all photos, reels, & more! @alphalete, @alphaleteathletics, & #alphalete so our Athlete Managers can keep an eye out!

Brexit Updates

Effective January 1, 2021

With Alphalete’s Distribution Center located in the United Kingdom, Brexit has impacted how shipments are received by customers in EU countries. Below is a breakdown of what to expect when placing an order.

Orders Delivered to the UK

  • Packages shipped within the UK should not experience any additional charges.

Orders Delivered to the EU

  • Import duties, charges, and processing fees may be assessed upon entry into your country.

  • Orders below £135 may not be subject to customs fees, but this is not guaranteed.

  • VAT may still be charged at the applicable rate depending on the country of import, as well as by the courier delivering your package.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue working behind the scenes to provide clear information so you can order with confidence.

 

Additional Details

When orders are shipped outside of the UK:

  • HMRC will assess any inbound duties and taxes, which must be paid by the customer.

  • Factors affecting the payable amount include:

    • The country of origin

    • Type of goods

    • Value of goods

    • Package weight

To ensure faster delivery, many couriers prepay duties and taxes on behalf of the customer and bill you afterward. Some couriers, such as DHL, may also apply an Advance Payment or Disbursement Charge for this service.

Important: If duties and taxes are not paid, your shipment will be returned to Alphalete.
