Frequently Asked Questions
Shipping
How long does shipping take?
Standard shipping typically takes 5–7 business days. Expedited options are available at checkout.
Product Authenticity
Are your items authentic?
We believe in full transparency. Unlike some retailers, we are always upfront about whether an item is authentic or inspired. This detail is clearly stated in every product title and listing — so you always know exactly what you’re purchasing before you buy. We encourage all customers to read product descriptions carefully prior to placing an order.
Blind Boxes
What is a blind box?
A blind box is a sealed package containing a mystery item from a specific collection — you won’t know exactly which one you’ll receive until you open it! That’s part of the fun. Please note that all blind box sales are final. Because the contents are randomized by design, we are unable to accept returns or exchanges on blind box purchases. We encourage you to read the product description carefully before ordering.
Custom Orders
Do you make custom items?
Yes! We offer a wide range of custom creations. If you can dream it, we can likely make it. Our custom offerings include:
- Apparel: t-shirts, hats, totes, workwear, uniforms, and more
- Squishy & collectible carriers, bags, and boxes
- Acrylic etched containers and accessories
Contact us with your idea and we’ll work with you to bring it to life.
Looking for Something Specific?
Can you help me find an item that isn’t on your site?
Absolutely! The Sensory is a viral store with an extensive network of resources. If you’re searching for something specific and don’t see it in our shop, reach out — we can typically track it down. Contact us with what you’re looking for and we’ll do our best to make it happen.
Shopping & Events
Do you offer private or virtual shopping sessions?
Yes! We are proud to cater to shoppers of all abilities. If you need a private, one-on-one shopping session in store, we can absolutely make that happen. Prefer to shop from home? We also offer virtual shopping sessions via Google Meet. Just reach out and we’ll set something up that works for you.
Can you do a pop-up at a party or event?
We’d love to! We are available for pop-ups at private parties, corporate events, and more. We also host sensory birthday parties and corporate experiences. Contact us for availability and more information — we’d love to be part of your next event.

Returns & Exchanges
What is your return policy?
All sales are final. Due to the nature of our specialty merchandise, returns and refunds are not accepted.
Are clothing and shoes eligible for returns?
Clothing and footwear are the only items eligible for an exchange or store credit within 7 days of delivery, provided they are in original condition. Refunds are not offered on these items.
What if my item arrived damaged or incorrect?
Claims for damaged or incorrect items must be submitted within 3 days of delivery with photographic evidence. Please contact us through our Contact page.
Orders
Can I cancel my order?
All sales are final, and orders begin processing immediately — often within the first minute of submission. Because of this, the window to request a cancellation is extremely limited.
If you need to cancel, please contact us immediately. We will do everything we can to accommodate your request, but we cannot guarantee a cancellation will be possible. Once a shipping label has been generated or your package has been picked up by the carrier, the order can no longer be cancelled or modified. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to review your order carefully before completing your purchase.
What about pre-orders?
All pre-orders are final sale. Estimated delivery dates are provided by our vendors and are not guaranteed — release timing is ultimately out of our hands. Just as a vendor may promise a date of August 6th but not deliver until the 15th, delays can and do happen, and we are at the mercy of their timeline.
We will not issue a refund for a pre-order delay unless the item has not shipped within 30 days past the original estimated delivery date. If that threshold is reached, please contact us and we will make it right. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Sizing
How do I find my size?
We recommend referring to the size guide on each product page for the most accurate fit.
Contact
How do I get in touch?
