If your tracking information is provided through USPS, be sure to copy the tracking number into your local postal company's package tracking for last-mile delivery information.
Undeliverable international shipping addresses may be asked to be changed to a verified address to allow for USPS shipment.

Fraud & Chargebacks:
NOCTEX strives to provide quality garments and customer service to our customers, and we are more than happy to help with order issues. Customers will always receive an email for cancelled orders notifying them if items are sold out, if the order was flagged as fraudulent, if a payment is incomplete/denied, or if there is another problem with an order.
- SOLD OUT ITEMS: Should a refund email notification be received by a customer for a single item in an order with multiple items, this indicates the single item is sold out, and unavailable to be sent. Customers may also receive an email giving the option to switch out the color or size of an item, or a cancelled order email if all items in an order are unavailable. Refunds should be processed within 24 hours of an above notification, if funds were processed. If there is an issue with the refund being processed, it is advised to contact the buyer’s bank or credit card company before contacting NOCTEX.
- FRAUDULENT ORDERS: Should an order be flagged as fraudulent, the customer may be contacted via the email address attached to the flagged order to verify their identity. Verification may be provided with a picture of a piece of mail or other identification which matches the name and/or shipping address used on the flagged order. High risk fraud orders will automatically be cancelled and refunded, and the customer will be notified.
- INCOMPLETE/DENIED PAYMENT: Should the payment method for an order be incomplete or denied, the payment will not be processed. The order will be cancelled and refunded if applicable, or the order will not be fulfilled or shipped out.
- INCORRECT OR DAMAGED ITEMS: Should an item in an order be incorrect, or received damaged due to a factory defect (ie., item was damaged PRIOR to transit), the customer must contact NOCTEX within 3 days of receiving the incorrect/damaged item in order to begin a return or exchange, or receive store credit, as stated above in our policies as well as at our Returns Center. Returns, exchanges, or store credits are be issued on a case-to-case basis. All other return requests for regularly priced items must be submitted at our returns center within 10 days of the package being marked as delivered on the customer’s tracking information. Further details regarding returns policies are available at the returns center, and customers are encouraged to read NOCTEX policies prior to purchasing and/or submitting a return request.
CHARGEBACKS:
Chargebacks are a time-consuming and costly effort for small businesses such as NOCTEX to proceed with. Should a chargeback be submitted without contacting NOCTEX and following the correct policies regarding the chargeback reason, the customer submitting the chargeback will be blacklisted and blocked from making purchases on the NOCTEX site. Chargebacks will be responded to within 2 business days.
RETURNS AND REFUNDS ON ORDERS WITH CHARGEBACKS:
- Should an item be returned for store credit from an order with an open chargeback, the refund cannot be processed until the chargeback is closed; this can take up to 40 business days. When a refund is able to be issued, a fee will be deducted from the total refund amount to cover the chargeback fee. This fee may be anywhere between $5-$100USD, depending on the fee NOCTEX is charged. A screenshot of the fee amount is available upon request.
- Should item/s be returned for store credit after a chargeback is resolved in the customer's favor, a refund will not be issued as the funds will have already been returned to the customer from the chargeback
- Should item/s be returned for store credit after a chargeback is resolved in NOCTEX's favor, a refund will be issued with the deducted chargeback fee amount, as mentioned above. A screenshot of the fee amount is available upon request.
