Sustainability

Sustainability is important to us and we’re getting greener every step of the way!

Around 85% of textiles produced by the fashion industry end up in landfills. Product returns are a major contributor to environmental damage and add to unnecessary packaging and fuel consumption.  U.S. product returns generate 16 million metric tons of carbon emissions during their complicated reverse journey and up to 5.8 BILLION pounds of landfill waste each year.

What’s more, 1 in 5 items produced by the fashion industry reach landfills without being worn even once!

Because of this, we work with print-on-demand suppliers, meaning we only produce items we receive an order for. While it may take slightly longer to produce & ship your product, we avoid textile waste from overproduction.

Product

Once you place an order, we use blank stock to produce it specifically for you. This allows us to avoid overproduction and waste, and share the blank stock inventory with other suppliers, leading to a cleaner, greener planet.

Our clothing is printed with the direct-to-garment (DTG) printing method. Sustainable Kornit printers produce almost zero wastewater and consume less energy than standard industry printers, lowering our carbon footprint.

The inks we use for printing are vegan, water-based, and free of harmful chemicals.

THAT COULD BE ME® takes sustainability seriously.

Damaged, Misprinted or Defective Items

We pride ourselves on the outstanding product quality of our production partners who perform a 3-step quality check before shipping.  However, if a misprinted or defective item inadvertently passed through our quality control, or was damaged during shipment, we take full responsibility and will provide a free replacement!

If an item arrives damaged, misprinted or defective, simply email detailed closeup photos of the goods within 2 weeks of receipt, along with the order # and a brief description to: support@printful.com with a cc: to info@thatcouldbeme.com.  We'll gladly send a replacement at no cost to you!

Packages Lost in Transit

For packages lost in transit, please email support@printful.com with a cc: to info@thatcouldbeme.com with your order # no later than 2 weeks after the estimated delivery date.  But no worries!  If courier tracking information confirms the package was not delivered, we'll cover the costs of reprinting and shipping a replacement order for you!

If you provided an address that is considered insufficient by the shipment courier (ex. missing Apt #), the shipment will be returned as unclaimed to our facility and you will be liable for the cost of a reshipment.  After 2 weeks, unclaimed items will be donated to charity.

Size/Color/Buyer’s Remorse

Sustainability is a critical part of how we operate.

Because we print on-demand and make your order just for you, we do not refund orders for buyer’s remorse or size/color exchanges.  Size Guides are provided for all products.  This keeps our operational costs low so that we can continue to contribute a minimum of 10% of our net profits to our 501(c)(3) nonprofit partner, That Could Be Me Foundation. Nonprofits across the country are in need of apparel and housewares … we encourage you to donate unwanted items in your local community and spread possibility!

Shipping

All our products are made on-demand, and we'll start the process immediately after your order is placed.   It takes 2–7 business days to create a product and fulfill an order, depending on the product.   Shipping time can be up to 4 business days depending on the delivery destination.  On average, based on the most popular items, orders will generally take 6-9 business days to arrive.  You'll recieve a tracking # and delivery estimate as soon as your product is ready to ship.

UPDATE: Due to extremely high order volume, production & delivery times are running a bit longer than normal. You will automatically receive a tracking link once your order ships and updates via email or text.

Rest assured, we’re working hard to deliver your order as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding.

We use all major shipping carriers and local courier partners to ensure that your order reaches you as soon as possible.  

Currently we ship our products to the United States.  Check back soon for our international expansion to Canada and the European Union!
