Orders
Order Questions
Everything about placing, changing, and managing your orders.
How do I place an order?
Browse our products, select your item, add it to your cart, and proceed to checkout. Enter your delivery and payment details, review your order, and confirm. You'll receive an order confirmation email straight away.
Can I modify or cancel my order after placing it?
We process orders quickly, so changes are only possible within a short window. Email contact@deskcodes.com with "AMEND ORDER" or "CANCEL ORDER" in the subject as soon as possible. Once dispatched, changes are no longer possible.
I haven't received my order confirmation email — what should I do?
Check your spam or junk folder first. Make sure the email you entered at checkout is correct. If you have an account, log in and check "My Orders". If you still can't find it, contact us at contact@deskcodes.com and we'll resend it.
Can I add items to an existing order?
We're unable to add items to an existing order once placed. Please place a new order. If both orders haven't been dispatched, contact us and we'll try to combine them into one shipment to save on delivery.
Why was my order cancelled?
Orders may be cancelled if an item goes out of stock, there's a pricing error, payment authorisation fails, or we suspect fraudulent activity. You'll receive a full refund and an email explaining the reason.
Do you offer gift wrapping or personalised messages?
Yes! Gift wrapping and personalised gift messages are available as add-ons at checkout. Gift-wrapped orders don't include pricing inside the parcel, making them perfect to send directly as a present.
How do I use a discount or promo code?
Enter your code in the "Coupon Code" field at checkout and click Apply. The discount is deducted automatically before payment. Only one code can be used per order, and codes cannot be applied to previous purchases.
Can I place a bulk or wholesale order?
Yes, we work with wholesale partners. Email contact@deskcodes.com with the subject line "Wholesale Enquiry", including the products you're interested in and your estimated order volumes.
Shipping
Shipping & Delivery
Delivery times, tracking, and everything in between.
How long does delivery take?
US Standard: 5–7 business days. US Expedited: 2–3 business days. US Overnight: next business day (order before 12pm EST). Canada: 7–12 business days. International: 10–21 business days. Orders are usually dispatched within 1–2 business days.
How do I track my order?
Once dispatched, you'll receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking number and a direct link to the carrier's tracking page. Tracking updates may take up to 24 hours. Registered customers can also track orders in their account dashboard.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship to most countries worldwide. Shipping costs and delivery times are calculated at checkout. Please note international orders may be subject to customs duties and import taxes, which are the customer's responsibility.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes — free standard US shipping on all orders over $50, applied automatically at checkout. The threshold is based on the amount paid after any discount codes.
What happens if I miss my delivery?
The carrier will leave a delivery notice with instructions to rearrange delivery or collect from your local facility. Most carriers make up to two further attempts before returning the parcel to us. A re-delivery fee may apply if we need to reship.
My parcel shows as delivered but I haven't received it.
Check with neighbours, look in safe spots around your property (porch, mailroom, behind bins), and look for a notice from the carrier. If you still can't locate it, contact us at contact@deskcodes.com within 7 days and we'll investigate.
Can I change my delivery address after ordering?
If your order hasn't been dispatched, email us immediately at contact@deskcodes.com and we'll do our best to update it. Once dispatched, address changes may not be possible — always double-check your address at checkout.
Do I have to pay customs duties on international orders?
Customs duties and import taxes may apply on international orders, levied by your country's customs authority. These charges are entirely the customer's responsibility and are not included in our shipping fees.

How do I start a return?
Email contact@deskcodes.com with your order number and reason for returning. We'll respond within 48 hours with a Return Authorisation number and instructions. Do not send items back without prior authorisation.

Products
Product Questions
Sizing, stock, care instructions, and more.
How do I know which size to order?
Every product page includes a size guide with detailed measurements. We recommend measuring yourself and comparing against the guide. If you're between sizes, email us at contact@deskcodes.com with your measurements and the product name.
Are product images true to colour?
We work hard to ensure our photography accurately represents colours and textures. However, slight variations may occur due to differences in monitor calibration and lighting. Contact us if colour accuracy is especially important before purchasing.
Will out-of-stock items come back?
Many popular items are restocked regularly. On out-of-stock pages, click "Notify Me" to be alerted when it's back. Some limited-edition items may not be restocked — follow our social media for restock announcements.

Accepted methods, security, sales tax, and Klarna.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, and Amex via Stripe, PayPal, Klarna (buy now, pay later), Apple Pay, and Google Pay. All transactions are processed securely and we never store full card details on our servers.
Is it safe to enter my card details on your website?
Absolutely. Card payments are processed by Stripe, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified provider — the highest industry standard. Your card details are encrypted and never stored on our servers.
My payment was declined. What should I do?
Check your card number, expiry, and CVV are correct and that your billing address matches your bank records. Some banks block online transactions by default — contact your bank to authorise it. You can also try PayPal as an alternative.
Do your prices include sales tax?
Applicable sales tax is calculated and displayed at checkout based on your delivery address and local tax rates. A full receipt including any tax breakdown is included in your order confirmation email.
How does Klarna work?
Klarna lets you split your total into 4 equal interest-free payments, collected every two weeks. Select Klarna at checkout to complete a quick eligibility check. Klarna is a separate financial service subject to their own terms and credit checks.
Are Premium Repacks guaranteed value?
Our Premium Repacks always include items valued at or above the purchase price — a curated mix of cards, memorabilia, and collectibles authenticated by our team before packing.
Can I get a refund to a different payment method?
Refunds are always issued to the original payment method used at checkout. We're unable to redirect refunds to a different card or account. If your original method is no longer available, contact us to discuss alternatives.
Will I be charged in USD if I'm outside the US?
Yes, all transactions are processed in United States Dollars (USD). Your card provider will convert this to your local currency and may apply their own exchange rate or foreign transaction fees.
