Everything about sizing, shipping, returns and our shirts. Still stuck? Email service@bareminimumsociety.store and a real person will answer.
Shipping & delivery
Where do you ship?
We ship within the United States only. International shipping isn't available at the moment.
How long does delivery take?
Most orders arrive within 5–13 business days. Every shirt is printed to order, which takes 2–8 business days, and standard shipping adds another 3–5 business days after dispatch.
How much is shipping?
Standard shipping is free on orders of $74.99 and up. Below that, shipping is calculated at checkout.
When do I need to order for Christmas delivery?
Order by December 10 for the best chance of arriving before Christmas. Because every shirt is printed to order, delivery dates can't be guaranteed, and orders placed after December 10 may arrive after the holiday.
Will I get a tracking number?
Yes. As soon as your order ships you'll get a tracking email, so you can follow the package to your door.
Where do orders ship from?
All orders are printed and shipped inside the United States, from production facilities in Texas and Florida. No customs, no overseas detour.
Sizing & fit
What sizes do you offer?
Every tee comes in S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL, in a unisex cut.
Do the shirts run true to size?
Yes, our unisex tees are true to size with a relaxed fit. If you like extra room, size up. Every product page has a size chart with measurements in inches.
Can I exchange a shirt for another size?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Email service@bareminimumsociety.store with your order number and we'll arrange the exchange, subject to availability.
Materials & care
What are the shirts made of?
Our tees are Gildan Softstyle 64000, a lightweight 4.5 oz ring-spun cotton shirt. Most colors are 100% cotton; heather and grey shades contain some polyester. The exact blend for each color is listed on the product page.
How should I wash them?
Machine wash cold, inside out, and tumble dry low. The fabric is pre-shrunk, so it keeps its size wash after wash.
Will the print crack or fade?
Not with normal care. Washing inside out in cold water keeps the print looking sharp for years.
Returns & refunds
What is your return policy?
You have 30 days from delivery to return any item, for any reason. Items must be unworn, unwashed and in original condition.
Do returns cost anything?
No. Return shipping is free for eligible returns inside the 30-day window, and we provide a prepaid return label.
How do I start a return?
Email service@bareminimumsociety.store with your order number and the items you'd like to return. We'll reply with instructions and your return label.
When do I get my money back?
Once your return arrives and has been inspected, we refund to your original payment method. Banks usually take another 5–10 business days to post it.
What if my order arrives damaged or wrong?
Contact us within 30 days with a photo and we'll send a replacement or refund it. No lengthy email chain required.
Can I cancel or change my order?
Contact us as soon as you can. If production has already started we may not be able to change it, since every shirt is made to order.
Orders & payment
How much do your shirts cost?
Every tee is $29.99. Mugs are priced on their own product pages.
Is there a discount for buying more than one?
Yes. Buy 2 and save $2 per tee, buy 3 and save $3 per tee, buy 4 or more and save $4 per tee. The discount is applied automatically in your cart.
Can I use a discount code and the bundle discount together?
No. The two can't be combined. When you apply a discount code, it replaces the bundle discount rather than adding to it, and your cart shows the price the code gives you.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro and UnionPay, plus PayPal, Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Klarna.
About Bare Minimum Society
Who is Bare Minimum Society?
We design funny office humor and introvert T-shirts for workplace realists: the people surviving back-to-back meetings, the ones whose social battery dies by lunch, and anyone who has answered "living the dream" while staring at a spreadsheet.
Where are you based?
Our design team is based in Germany. Orders for US customers are printed and shipped within the United States through our production partners, so your shirt doesn't travel further than your Monday commute.
Do you make good coworker gifts?
That's most of what we do. Our shirts are popular for Secret Santa, work anniversaries, birthdays and farewell gifts, and the bundle discount makes it easy to cover a whole team.
How do I contact you?
