Everything you need to know about ordering from the Switchboard Shop.

Last updated June 1, 2026

Shipping

We ship physical orders from Plymouth, NH using USPS and UPS. Print-on-demand items (custom mugs, certain apparel) ship from our fulfillment partner in the United States.

Processing times

  • Stickers & in-stock apparel: ships within 2 business days.
  • Print-on-demand items: made to order, ships within 3–5 business days.
  • Digital downloads: delivered instantly to your email when payment clears.

Delivery times (after shipping)

  • United States: 2–5 business days (USPS / UPS Ground).
  • Canada: 7–14 business days.
  • International: not currently offered. Sign up for our mailing list and we'll let you know when this changes.

Shipping rates

Rates are calculated at checkout based on weight and destination. Orders over $50 ship free within the contiguous United States.

Tracking You'll get an email with a tracking number as soon as your order ships. If you don't see it after 5 business days, check your spam folder, then reach out.

Returns & refunds

We want you to love what you buy. If something isn't right, here's how we handle it.

Physical products

  • Unused items can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a full refund.
  • Items must be in original condition with tags or packaging intact.
  • You cover return shipping unless the item arrived damaged or we shipped the wrong thing.
  • Refunds are issued to your original payment method within 5–7 business days of us receiving the return.

Print-on-demand items

Made-to-order items (custom mugs, some apparel) are only eligible for return or exchange if they arrive damaged or with a printing defect. Send a photo to sba@switchboardapp.net within 14 days of delivery and we'll send a replacement at no charge.

Digital downloads

Digital downloads are non-refundable once delivered — we can't un-download a file. But if the file is broken, the wrong product, or otherwise not what was described, write us and we'll fix it or refund you.

How to start a return Email sba@switchboardapp.net with your order number (looks like SB-2026-00042) and what you'd like to do. We'll respond within one business day with next steps.

Order status

Your order confirmation email has a link to view the latest status. Statuses you might see:

  • Pending — we have your order but payment hasn't cleared yet.
  • Paid — payment is in and we're packing your order.
  • Fulfilled — your order has shipped (you'll get a tracking email) or your digital downloads are ready.
  • Partially fulfilled — part of your order has shipped; the rest is on the way.
  • Cancelled — the order was cancelled before it shipped.
  • Refunded — we've refunded the order in full or in part.

FAQ

Do I need a Switchboard account to buy?

No — guest checkout is fine. But if you sign in with your Switchboard account, your orders and downloads are saved and you don't have to re-enter shipping info next time.

How are payments handled?

We use Stripe for credit/debit cards and PayPal for PayPal balances. Both are PCI-DSS Level 1 certified. Card details never touch our servers — we only store the last 4 digits for the receipt.

Can I update my order after placing it?

For physical orders that haven't shipped yet, write us within an hour or two and we'll usually be able to update the address or quantity. Once it ships, we can't change it, but you can return it and re-order.

Do you offer wholesale or bulk discounts?

Maybe — for team orders of 10+ stickers or apparel pieces, email sba@switchboardapp.net with what you're after and we'll work something out.

Will you make custom Switchboard merch for our team?

We do this case-by-case. Reach out at sba@switchboardapp.net with your team size and what you'd like printed.

Privacy

This page is a plain-English summary of how shop.switchboardapp.net uses your data. The full legal privacy policy lives at switchboardapp.net/privacy.html.

What we collect

  • To process orders: name, email, shipping address (if physical), and the items you bought.
  • To run the site: a cart cookie so your cart survives between visits, plus basic analytics (page views, traffic source).
  • Payment info: handled by Stripe and PayPal. We never see or store your full card details.

What we don't do

  • We don't sell your data to anyone.
  • We don't show ads on this site, and there's no advertising network tracking you across the web from here.
  • We don't use AI tools to make ad-targeting profiles of customers.

Marketing emails

If you opt in to product updates at checkout or via the newsletter form, we'll email you when we drop something new — about once a month. Every email has an unsubscribe link.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of what we have on you, or have it deleted, by emailing sba@switchboardapp.net. We'll respond within 30 days.

Terms of service

Using the shop

By placing an order, you confirm that you're at least 18 years old (or have a parent/guardian's permission) and that the information you give us is accurate.

Pricing & availability

Prices are in US dollars and may change without notice. We reserve the right to cancel orders if a product has been listed at an obviously wrong price (we'll refund you in full if that happens).

Digital products — what you can do with them

  • You buy a personal-use license for digital downloads (templates, PDFs, etc.).
  • For internal team use at the company that purchased them — yes, that's allowed.
  • You can't resell, redistribute, or sublicense the files without our written OK.

Switchboard branding

Products featuring the Switchboard name and logo are sold as merchandise — they don't grant any rights to use the Switchboard brand for your own business or marketing.

Liability

We're not liable for indirect or consequential damages. Our maximum liability for any single order is the amount you paid for that order.
