Frequently Asked Questions

We get asked a lot of questions about our products, so we thought we would list all of the frequently asked questions below; of course if you can't find what your looking for just click here to get in touch. Please click on the corresponding tab below to navigate your way through the FAQ section.

 

  • How did you get your brand name?

    ‘Aye’ is a popular Scottish phrase - it means 'yes'. As we’re a Scottish based start-up, it was only fair we reflected our brand at root level.

    Where can I purchase AyeGear clothing from?

    Directly from our website or from Amazon (Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, Amazon.it, Amazon.de or Amazon.fr).

    You made the perfect gear for shoplifters.

    Whilst this is not really a question, we get this statement thrown around a fair bit. It's getting a little boring so we look forward in seeing what you can come up with :)

    What payment methods do you accept?

    All major credit and debit cards are accepted. We also accept payments through Paypal.

    What countries do you ship to?

    We ship worldwide. All orders are fulfilled from the United Kingdom. All USA orders are fulfilled from our distribution centre in the United States.

    What are the benefits of using AyeGear?


    What if I order the wrong size?

    Do not worry about sizing, we have an extremely relaxed returns policy. You can easily send it back for an exchange, credit note or refund (this has never happened but hey!). Some customers tend to order two sizes and simply return the unwanted size for a refund - this is perfectly fine to do so.  

    Will you accept traditional payment methods i.e. bank transfer, cheques etc?

    Yes - we will assist you in paying through BACS or cheque. Simply email us through the contact us form or call us on 0844 414 8315 and we will advise you accordingly. 

     

    Is the delivery method which you use secure?

    For sure. We ship all our orders out via registered and tracked mail to ensure you can track your package. We have sourced the highest grade quality mailing bags which are weather, burst and puncture resistant - ensuring that the garment is delivered safely without causing any damage to the contents within the package.

    Once your item is dispatched, we will notify you of your unique tracking number.

    Are there any custom charges to pay?

    You may wish to consult with your local shipping authority to see what charges will be applicable. We will not be held responsible for any charges that you incur.

    What is your returns policy?

    We are like yourself. We order goods all the time through the internet. We can't stand companies who don't offer a returns policy either (or a very limited returns policy i.e. 7 days). We're confident in that if your not happy with any aspect of AyeGear, we aim to offer a no quibble money back guarantee - 30 days from the date your order arrives.

    You can return your item(s) for exchanges / refunds / credit note simply by using our automated returns system.

    Are you hiring?

    We’re always on the lookout for talented people. If you walk, talk and sleep creativity - you need to get in-touch. E-mail us at info@ayegear.com (being passionate about pockets is mandatory).

    I've damaged my AyeGear garment!

    We don't carry any repairs in-house. We recommend you approach your local alterations workshop to get your garment fixed, whether it be stitching or a zipper issue.
