Alphalete is not liable for returns that are lost or damaged due to improper handling/packaging. We recommend that all self-shipped returns/exchanges are sent via a trackable method — please keep your return receipt & tracking until your refund is processed.

In the event that your returned item is denied, you will be notified via email — your item will then be shipped back to you within 4–7 business days at no cost to you. Your denial email will outline any options regarding re-inspection of the item — if your item still does not comply with our returns standards after 2 consecutive returns it will be donated on your behalf.

We have a 90-day Warranty Policy that covers all items on our sites! Each product's warranty begins after your package has been delivered. Items deemed defective by the manufacturer or damaged within the policy timeframe are covered.

In the unlikely event that you've received an incorrect item, are missing an item from your order or an item is damaged in any way, please submit a ticket to our support team here or send an email to support@alphaleteathletics.ca (see "Orders" for more information).

Failure to communicate any damaged or defective items to our support team prior to returning will lead to your item(s) being subject to our returns policy & standards, along with any costs that may be associated with a denied return.

If you experience any of the following issues, they may be covered under our warranty policy:

  • Holes
  • Rips/tears
  • Logo/Label issues
  • Manufacturing Errors
  • Missing features
  • Limited one-off occurrences (subject to approval)

Dye Process Disclaimer: All of our pieces undergo a dip dyeing process to obtain the Alphalete exclusive color palettes. Dyes may slightly alter the fit or feel of the material — this might impact the compression or the stretch of the fabric. Therefore, items of the same style may vary slightly between colors.

Color Variations: The combination of pigments used to create each color may alter the color of the item in different lighting. Different styles with the same color name may vary in shade, as the dye can take differently to different fabrics. Although we do our best to display each item & color in the most accurate way, items displayed in studio lighting may vary slightly from indoor or natural lighting. We are not responsible for any misconceptions caused by customizations in the color display of the devices used to browse our site.

Please note that some product descriptions share possible variations in fit/feel across colors.

Sheerness & Care Guide: We do not consider sheerness to be a defect, therefore any unwanted item(s) due to sheerness must be processed as a return within the normal timeframe & must be eligible to be returned. Please note that some pieces may include information regarding sheerness at full stretch in the description.

Care Guide: Each product page lists the care guide for the item. Failure to follow the care guide may void the Warranty Policy.

This policy was made effective on April 16, 2022. Please contact our support team if you have any questions or if you require assistance.

We are proud to stand behind the quality of our pieces, including those that are discounted or marked as "Final Sale". All items purchased directly from Alphalete Athletics are covered under our 90-day Warranty Policy.

Please note that items marked as "Final Sale" at the time of your purchase are not eligible for Redo Free Returns and cannot be returned or exchanged if they are not covered under our Warranty Policy.

4. Shipping & Delivery

Our CA site currently ships to domestic residential addresses within Canada — available locations can be seen at checkout.

Alphalete has 4 different websites & distribution centers to best serve our customers worldwide. We recommend shopping through the website associated with the region you would like your order sent to — otherwise, your order may be subject to customs fees/taxes based on the retail value of the package. These fees are not determined or covered by Alphalete and are beyond our control.

If you are shopping from outside of Canada, we recommend shopping from our UK site, as our UK warehouse caters to shipping to the rest of the world.

Shipping Options & Policies

Shipping options are dependent upon your location — available options will automatically populate at checkout after you enter your shipping address.

Shipping timeframes do not include the warehouse fulfilment timeframe. Business days exclude weekends & holidays.

Free standard shipping on domestic orders over $165 CAD.

Forwarding Addresses

Our CA warehouse only ships to domestic residential addresses — these locations can be seen at checkout. We strictly prohibit the use of forwarding addresses on orders from our CA website.

If you cannot see your country or shipping location at checkout, we recommend visiting another one of our websites:

If we detect a forwarding address is in use, your order is subject to immediate cancellation. If an order using a forwarding address is fulfilled, Alphalete is not liable for lost/missing orders.

By accepting our terms & conditions, the customer agrees that if a package is lost/stolen during transit, we cannot/will not replace goods unless the customer purchased Redo Package Protection at checkout for the impacted order. To add package protection, go back to your cart & toggle "on" the button above the checkout button.

Customers that do not purchase package protection will need to initiate a claim through the courier associated with their order.

Have you received a delivery notification?

No — start by following "How do I track my order?"

Yes — see below:

If your order is marked delivered but you do not believe you have received it — we suggest double checking around your property, mailbox, front desk/package locker area and with neighbors first.

  • Couriers recommend waiting an additional 5 business days for delivery after you receive the "delivered" notification — it is very common for packages to be delivered a few days after being marked as delivered.
  • Forwarding Addresses: We strictly prohibit the use of forwarding addresses on orders from our CA website. If an order using a forwarding address is fulfilled, Alphalete is not liable for lost/missing orders.

If you purchased Redo package protection, you can initiate a claim in our Redo portal.

If you still have not received your package, you need guidance on next steps or if you have questions about making a claim, please contact our support team within 15 days of the marked "delivery date".

You will receive an email with a tracking number when your order has been packed at our warehouse. This email is sent after the initial order confirmation — your tracking number & tracking link can be found in your shipping confirmation email.

If you are having difficulty finding your tracking number or if you have any questions, our customer support team is available to assist.

The warehouse fulfilment timeframe is the amount of time that you should anticipate before your order is shipped out.

Our fulfillment timeframe is separate & in addition to the delivery timeframe associated with the shipping method chosen at checkout. There may be delays during transit that are beyond our control — we suggest contacting the shipping courier for any questions you may have regarding delivery.

Our current fulfilment time frame is provided in your order confirmation. If there are any delays or issues with fulfillment after your confirmation email is sent, we will communicate with you accordingly.

We aim for all orders to be fulfilled within 5–7 business days — this is subject to increase to 10–15 business days during high volume events such as Black Friday or our Birthday Sale.

After your order has been packed, it is collected by the associated shipping courier from our warehouse & you will receive an email with a tracking number.

Canadian shoppers, we have great news: no more customs fees! Please make sure you are shopping from our CA website (alphaleteathletics.ca), as our other websites & distribution centers are located outside of Canada where customs fees may still apply.

If you require a more detailed outline of what to expect when your package arrives in your country or if you have questions regarding a bill you have received for import fees/taxes, please contact your local customs office or the courier that you received the bill from.

We recommend shopping through the website associated with the region you would like your order sent to in order to avoid customs fees or import tariffs.

If you need assistance selecting the best site to place your order or anything else, please contact our support team here.

We currently accept the following payment methods:

  • PayPal
  • Apple Pay

  • ShopPay
  • Gift Card (Alphalete Athletics)

If you need to return or exchange an order placed on a Visa Gift Card, any refund issued will automatically go back to the card used at checkout. If the gift card was disposed of after using & funds are unable to be accessed, this is the responsibility of the customer, not the responsibility of Alphalete. We do not currently recommend the use of Visa Gift Cards.

Alphalete Athletics Gift Cards are only valid on the website they are purchased from. For example, a gift card purchased from alphaleteathletics.ca can only be used on our CA site.

Gift Cards purchased online are unable to be used in our retail location at Alphaland Gym.

If you are unsure what currency or site your gift card is associated with, please reach out to our support team for assistance.

Note: We are unable to apply gift cards and discount codes to an order once it is placed.

Yes you can use multiple gift cards on a single order — there are no restrictions whatsoever!

Note: We are, however, unable to apply gift cards and discount codes to an order once it is placed.

If your gift card is not working, first, be sure you are using the correct site — Alphalete Athletics Gift Cards are only valid on the website they are purchased from.

We recommend copy/pasting the gift card's code exactly as shown, if possible — no extra spaces or characters.

If your gift card is still not working, please contact our support team for assistance.

If you paid fully with a gift card: The refund amount will be credited to the same gift card you originally used after your return/exchange is processed.

If you paid partially with a gift card: The refund amount will be credited to the gift card used on the order first. Any remaining amount will then be refunded to the other form(s) of payment used on the order.

If you no longer have your original gift card code or require additional assistance, please contact our support team here.

We offer a number of ongoing discounts & run seasonal sale promotions throughout the year.

We are proud to offer 10% off to those who serve, protect & educate. To begin receiving this discount — first responders, military personnel & students must verify their eligibility via VerifyPass here.

Our Athlete & Affiliate codes are another way to receive a 10% discount year-round, while showing support to your favorite members of our roster. Discount codes associated with athletes & affiliates are promoted by each individual. The discount percentage is subject to change during promotional periods. Athlete & Affiliate codes cannot be applied retroactively.

For information about restocks, upcoming launches & sales and exclusive discounts, we recommend signing up for our newsletter + following us on Instagram (@alphalete).

Note: we are unable to apply promotions or discount codes of any sort to an existing order.

You are able to use a redemption code & qualifying discount code together.

Example: Your order of $170 CAD before tax qualifies for free shipping & you also have an athlete code for 10% off.

Typically, we will clearly outline if a promotion or discount code is unable to be stacked with other discounts or sales. If you are unable to combine 2 different discount codes at checkout, we recommend choosing the one that suits your particular order best.

If you are unable to combine 2 different discount codes at checkout & believe this to be an error, please contact our support team for assistance.

Note: We are unable to apply gift cards and discount codes to an order once it is placed.

Discount codes are subject to change or deactivation at any time, for varying reasons. If a code is not working, it may no longer be active or available.

Discount codes must be entered accurately, without extra spaces or characters.

Some discount codes are dependent upon eligibility (Example: If a discount code is for 20% off orders of $200 CAD or more, your order must be $200 CAD or more before tax to qualify for the discount).

Some discount codes are region or customer specific, please ensure that the code you are trying to use was issued to you on the site you are shopping.

If your discount code is unable to be used at checkout & you believe this to be an error, please contact our support team for assistance.

6. Loyalty Program

It's very easy to join our loyalty program & begin earning points — just create an Alphalete account on the site you are shopping & ensure you are logged in at the time of purchase.

You'll earn between 1 - 1.5 points for every $1 spent on eligible purchases depending on your tier status. You can also rack up bonus points by completing activities such as leaving a review, following us on social media, donating to charity at checkout, or signing up for text alerts.

If purchases are made from multiple regions, you will need to create a new account on each site individually to accumulate points.

Points are automatically converted into store credit & can be applied to future purchases during checkout.

To redeem your points, log in to your account & select an eligible reward at checkout.

Points cannot be combined across accounts. To make the most of your rewards, we recommend keeping your purchases under one email/login.

Please contact our support team with any questions or concerns regarding the points on your account.
