First Garment Guarantee

Order 1 item first. Try it out risk free. If it doesn't work out, return or exchange it for free.
Our First Garment Guarantee is simple: if it's your first time trying a specific product line* (all underwear fits, fabrics and styles are considered the same product line - see more product lines below), just order 1 item first - if you don't absolutely love it, you'll get a free return or exchange on that first item no questions asked (Canada orders only - return shipping is on the house for Canada orders). As soon as 2 or more items from the same product line are ordered, all items in the order skip the First Garment Guarantee and are covered by the Feel Good Guarantee instead (when ordering multiple items of the same product line, it is assumed that you already tried and like the items). See the examples below for more details. Please email hello@allcitizens.com with your order number and reason for return/exchange within 30 days of purchase and we'll get the process started.

Examples:

  • First time customer ordering 1 pair of Standard Fit Boxer Briefs, 1 pair of Performance Ankle Socks and 1 Performance Dress Shirt: all 3 items in their order is covered by the First Garment Guarantee and will have a free return or exchange
  • First time customer ordering 1 pair of Standard Fit Boxer Briefs and 1 pair of Paradise Pocket Boxer Briefs: both items are covered by the Feel Good Guarantee instead (because all underwear fits, fabrics and styles are considered the same product line) and must be returned unopened and still in their original packaging. Neither pair is covered by the First Garment Guarantee in this case

In an effort to drive more value to our customers (lower returns and exchanges = lower costs for us = lower prices for you) and promote conscious consumption, we highly recommend customers order just 1 unit of a product line first before committing to a larger order. Please see additional returns and exchange terms below.

All international orders are covered by our Feel Good Guarantee instead and do not qualify for the First Garment Guarantee.

 

*List of individual product lines:

  • Underwear - all underwear styles (boxer brief, trunk, brief, boxer, Paradise Pocket), fabrics and fits (Standard, Athletic, Longer) are considered the same product line (for instance, the Standard Fit, Athletic Fit, Longer Fit, variant 2, compression baselayers, Paradise Pocket and all other underwear are considered the same product line).
  • First time customer ordering 1 pair of Standard Fit Boxer Briefs and 1 pair of Paradise Pocket Boxer Briefs: both items are covered by the Feel Good Guarantee instead (because all underwear fits, fabrics and styles are considered the same product line) and must be returned unopened and still in their original packaging. Neither pair is covered by the First Garment Guarantee in this case

 

Place a qualifying follow up order and we'll refund the shipping cost on your previous order
If it is your first time trying any All Citizens product line, we recommend ordering 1 item from that product line first to find the perfect fit. Then, if you make a second purchase of $80 or more of the same product line within 15 days of your package delivery date, we'll refund $5 of the shipping cost on your first order (Canada orders only). Simply leave a message with your order (you can do this during checkout) to let us know that you’ve made a second purchase and we'll refund you within 3 days.

 

Drawer Refresh Upgrade
For all boxer briefs (Standard Fit, Athletic Fit, Longer Fit and Compression Shorts): if you would like to upgrade to a Preferred Pricing pack (Drawer Refresh, Complete Drawer Refresh) after your first order, just purchase the remaining garments for that pack within 15 days of your package delivery date and leave a message with your order to indicate that you would like to upgrade. We'll refund the difference within 3 days of your upgrade order and will even refund $5 of the shipping costs on your first order (Canada orders only)! See the example below:

  • Order 1 pair of boxer briefs to test out ($20 + $9.50 shipping)
  • Test them out and love them!
  • Order 6 more pairs of boxer briefs within 15 days of your original order to complete the Drawer Refresh ($120)
  • We'll refund you $20, so the total you’ve paid for both orders is $129.50

     

     

    Feel Good Guarantee

    After you've tried the first item from a product line, all subsequent items from that product line are covered by our Feel Good Guarantee where we accept returns and exchanges within 30 days of purchase. All returned or exchanged items must be unopened, still in their original packaging and have not been tried on*, washed, damaged or altered in any way. We'll provide a return shipping label and deduct the return label cost, a $10 restocking fee and the original shipping and fulfillment cost borne by All Citizens from the refund. To start a return or exchange, please email hello@allcitizens.com with your return or exchange request, order number and reason for return. Please see the Other Returns and Exchanges section below for additional considerations.

    International orders are eligible for returns and exchanges, but the return shipping cost, exchange shipping costs, duties and taxes are not covered by All Citizens.

     

     

    Our Approach on Returns and Product Pricing

    Our return policy is a departure from the “free returns on all orders” that other brands may offer, and the reason for this is simple: our policy provides greater value to our customers.

    This may seem counter intuitive, but here's the truth about the "free returns on all orders" return policies – these policies may seem “free” on the surface, but customers actually end up paying for them in a less explicit way. The truth is, shipping items and processing returns is expensive for businesses - take into account original shipping and fulfillment costs, return shipping costs, exchange shipping and fulfillment costs, warehouse return processing fees, restocking fees, and costs for laundering, cleansing, sanitizing and repacking each returned item as well as the cost of throwing away intimate items that can't be resold once tried on (like underwear and socks). Common practice for most brands is to have a return rate of 20 to 25%, meaning 1 in 4 items get returned - most brands forecast the expected returns and subsequent costs, and then bake those costs into their product pricing (which means more expensive product prices) in order to account for all of the expenses listed above. This means that all customers end up paying higher prices to subsidize the “generous” return policies.

    Why should customers who don’t need to return or exchange a large amount of items be subjected to paying higher prices for products? 

    We thought we could do better and deliver more value to our customers, so we updated our return policy to encourage conscious and thoughtful purchasing – just try 1 item first, see if you like it, then order more or return/exchange it for free (you get a free return or exchange on all product lines if it is your first time trying that product line) – that way, we don’t pay for multiple shipping and fulfillment costs or for discarding products that can't be resold, and we pass that savings back to you in the form of lower prices - simple. Our return rate and return costs are more than 5 times lower than the industry average - that is one of the reasons why you see our products such as our microfiber boxer briefs and our Performance Dress Shirt priced at less than half of what comparable premium brands with similar high quality products charge.

    We believe our approach is more sustainable - for your wallet, for our business and for our planet.

    • We recommend only purchasing 1 item from a product line first before committing to a larger order. Orders which contain more than just your first item (including orders with multiple sizes and/or colors of the same product line) don't qualify for the First Garment Guarantee and are covered by the Feel Good Guarantee instead. Then, if you make a second purchase of $45 or more of the same product line within 15 days of your package delivery date, we'll refund the shipping cost on your first order (US orders only)
    • If an order contains a single item from different product lines (e.g., 1 V neck t shirt, 1 dress shirt and 1 short sleeve button up), and it is the customer's first time trying all of the different product lines, all items in that order are eligible for returns and exchanges under the First Garment Guarantee
    • In the case where an order contains multiple items from a single product line as well as a single item from a different product line (e.g., 2 dress shirts and 1 V neck t shirt), and it is the customer's first time trying all of the product lines in this order, only the single item is eligible for free returns and exchanges (e.g., the 1 V neck t shirt in this example). The free return and exchange from the single item cannot be extended to the multiple items from a product line (e.g., the 2 dress shirts in this example)
    • The First Garment Guarantee does not apply if a customer's first order contains multiple boxer brief fits (Standard Fit, Athletic Fit and the Longer Boxer Brief) - we recommend trying 1 fit first. If you are unsure which fit will suit you best, please refer to the FAQ page for the fit guide or contact hello@allcitizens.com for guidance
    • The First Garment Guarantee does not apply if a customer's first order contains multiple boxer briefs in different sizes - we recommend trying 1 pair first. If you are unsure of your size, please refer to the FAQ page for the sizing chart or contact hello@allcitizens.com for guidance
    • After your first garment from a product line, all subsequent garments being returned or exchanged must be in their original product packaging and has not been opened, washed or worn. If we receive a returned garment with product packaging that has been opened, the item will be discarded/disposed of and a refund will not be issued for this item. All Citizens maintains the right to reject any returned items which we believe have been opened, are not in their original packaging, or have been tried on*, washed, damaged or altered in any way
