Shipping Times
Shipment Method
We ship all items via USPS Priority Mail (domestic) and Air Mail (international). Our smaller accessory items (often indicated as "Free Shipping" for domestic orders) ship via USPS First Class mail to the USA, and via Air Mail abroad. These "Free shipping" items are marked as such on our accessories page. All USPS Priority packages are shipped with Delivery Confirmation so that your items can be tracked.
Shipping Times
All orders typically ship within five business days. Personalized books may take slightly longer but on the whole Chris likes to wrap those up on a weekly basis.
If your payment is via "eCheck", we cannot not ship your merchandise until the payment clears.

Sales Tax
California Residents pay 8.25% sales tax. We then pass that money along to the state government in exchange for bumpy roads and Oakland.
Garment Info
Our Men's/Unisex Hoody is made by Hanes. They are a thick 90/10 Cotton/Poly blend. When necessary, essentially identical garments of equal or greater quality (manufactured by Russell Athletic, Port Authority, etc.) may be substituted. Please see our Sizing Chart (pop up window).
The bulk of our clothing is manufactured in the USA by AmericanApparel, a sweatshop-free company based in Los Angeles. AmericanApparel clothing has a sportier, more tailored look and feel, but standard sizing still applies. AmericanApparel clothing will shrink slightly if run through a hot dryer, so where in doubt either (a) line dry, or (b) order up a size. Please see our Sizing Chart (pop up window).

We send all customers our quarterly Achewood Town Newsletter via email. If you would prefer not to receive this email, simply "unsubscribe" from the first one you receive and you will be permanently removed from our mailing list. No hard feelings.
