FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me! I’m always happy to help.
About Me
My name’s Sharon and I’m the designer behind Sarcastic Scots. You might know me from my previous business name, Riamelin. I live in Fife, Scotland, and create my designs from home. 💙
Most clothing is made to order by my fulfilment partner in Wolverhampton (and sometimes by their other international partners). Sadly, I couldn’t find a printer in Scotland, but at least this way I can offer loads of designs and sizes without filling my wee flat with boxes.
Ordering & Production
All T-Shirts, Hoodies, Sweatshirts, Mugs, Prints, Bags and Hats are print on demand — printed (or embroidered) after you place your order. (Sometimes referred to as "POD") This means:
- I don’t hold stock.
- Once an order is in production, I can’t change it.
- If you’ve made a mistake, contact me right away after ordering and I might be able to fix it before it goes into production.
Production usually takes 3–5 working days, then delivery is another 3–5 working days (longer during busy times like Christmas).
However, small items such as Enamel Pins, Keyrings, Postcards and Stickers are stocked by me so they are wrapped and sent to you from my home. 💙

Choosing the Right Size
Every product page has a size chart — please check it before ordering. Sizes can vary slightly between brands (like Gildan vs Bella + Canvas).
👉 Not sure whether to pick Premium or Standard for your new T-Shirt? I’ve got a page for that, please read it below, it’s packed with information and sizing!
Refunds, Returns & Cancellations
Because every clothing item is made to order, I can’t accept returns or exchanges if you change your mind or order the wrong size.
- ❌ No returns for: change of mind, wrong size/colour/design, or worn/washed items.
- ✅ If your order arrives damaged, misprinted or faulty, I’ll make it right — just email me within 7 days of delivery with a clear photo.
If you need to cancel an order before it goes into production, I can usually do that — but a 5% cancellation fee will be deducted to cover payment processing fees.
Please have a read of my full policy below.
Where Items Ship From
- UK orders: usually printed and shipped from Wolverhampton in England. (Don’t come at me, I promise I looked for a Scottish printer! 😂)
- Some larger sizes (3XL–5XL): may ship from the US or Latvia as they aren’t well stocked in the UK, but I still wanted to offer these options to you.
- International orders: usually printed and shipped from the closest facility to the delivery address.
Side Note: You can buy a T-Shirt or other item for someone with a shipping address in America (for example) and it will be printed in America even if you order in the UK! No customs fees to worry about, and faster shipping too. 😄
Small items (pins, stickers, postcards, keyrings) are lovingly shipped by me from Scotland. 🥰🏴
Shipping & Restrictions
- UK: All items ship normally.
- USA: POD/Clothing items only, no small items like pins and stickers.
- Canada, Australia, New Zealand: POD/Clothing items and small items ship normally.
- EU, Norway & Switzerland: Sadly I cannot ship here due to new EU product safety regulations.
Order late or your tracking hasn’t updated?
Sometimes parcels pause in tracking while moving between countries or carriers. If your order still hasn’t arrived within 10 days, email me with your order number — I’ll check with my print partner and we’ll find a solution.
Extras
- Tips at checkout?!: Tipping is not required in Scotland and completely Optional — no pressure at all, I’m just chuffed you’re here. 🥰
- Gift notes: I can include a handwritten note with small items. Just pop a message in at checkout or email me with your order number and let me know.
- Still undecided? Why not have a wee look at my Customer Photos page to see what others have bought and how they look? 💙
I’m just one sarcastic Scottish designer doing her best to bring a bit of banter to the world. Thanks so much for supporting my wee business! Please don’t hesitate to get in touch, I’m an introvert but I’m a helpful one! 💙
