How can I pay for my order and is it secured?
We accept Visa, MasterCard and Paypal. Our system has a Comodo SSL Certificate. The system is highly secure. In general, ordering online is considered to be far more secure than making credit card orders in person or by telephone. Through SSL, credit card information is encrypted and handled through entirely automated means.

Your item will be shipped from Pete's Candy Store within 1 week. Most orders are shipped within 3-4 days. It can take as little as three days to 2 weeks for delivery depending on the efficiency of your local postal service. International shipping times may vary but can take anywhere from a week to 2 months to arrive due to customs. We want to get your package there as soon as possible but once it leaves Pete's it's up to the Post Office to deliver it. We do not ship on weekends or US Holidays.

How much are shipping and handling charges?
The shipping and handling charge for Continental US is $6, and $8 for Hawaii and Puerto Rico. International orders are $11. Please note that international orders are subject to applicable customs, import duties and taxes, which are the sole responsibility of the customer.

Is there tracking for my order?
Yes, once we ship your order you will receive an email confirming that your order was shipped. The email will also contain your tracking number. If you do not receive an email like this within 72 hours please contact info@petescandystore.com for your tracking info. Tracking is only available on US Orders.

Why is my Credit Card being denied?
The Credit card company processing your card has determined that there is not enough funds or too many transactions on your account to process this order. You need to contact your credit card or bank company to find out more information. Or, the credit card information you entered did not pass the Billing Address Verification Check. When our system checks a card for available funds, it also checks to make sure that the billing address of the card matches what you have entered. This is one of the ways that we protect our customers from credit card fraud. If the billing address doesn't match, then the order gets rejected or declined.

My information is correct but I still cannot place an order?
Email info@petescandystore.com for technical support and we will do our best to determine how to fix the problem.

It’s been a long time and I still don’t have my order.
Mistake orders usually are one of three problems:
1. Your order was somehow overlooked by us.
2. The USPS has lost your order in the mail.
3. Insufficient Address.
It should never take more than 2 weeks to receive an order. If you have not received it by then contact us atinfo@petescandystore.com with your order number (the number that was assigned to you that is on your receipt) and your name. Once we get your email we will contact you and handle the problem on an individual basis.

I think I provided the wrong address.
Insufficient Address is one of those problems that takes a long time to reconcile. Generally, it takes about 3-4 weeks for the USPS to send back mail that had an insufficient address. Once we receive it we will contact you and make you aware of the problem. After that, depending on the time it takes you to email us back, your order will be reshipped at your expense.

What is the Card Code?
The card code is a three of four digit number on the back of credit cards and bank cards. This number is a fraud protection feature used when ordering online or over the phone.

Are you going to use my personal information for anything else?
Absolutely not, we use your information for shipping purposes only. At no time will your information be given away or sold to any outside company. We will keep your email address on file if we need to contact you about your order and it will be automatically added to our Weekly Newsletter. If you would not like to receive our Newsletter you will be able to unsubscribe to it at the bottom of the Newsletter. Your Credit Card number is stored in an encrypted secure format.

Who makes your shirts?
All of our shirts are printed by the nice folks at Chad Silver Screen Printing on American Apparel blanks. We love American Apparel shirts. They are the softest, nicest-fitting shirts you'll find anywhere, plus they're made in the USA without any sweatshop labor. Awesome.

What size should I order?
American Apparel shirts run a little small and will shrink about a half a size in the first wash. If you like a snug, fitted shirt, order your normal size. Otherwise you should probably order one size larger.

Sizing charts for all our shirts can be found here:

Any special washing instructions?
Wash warm, dry low. Try to keep colors separate from whites, especially on the first wash. You know, basic laundry stuff.
