FAQ'S

I’ve never purchased anything online before. What kind of payments do you accept? Will my information be safe?

Your information is absolutely safe when you order online from us. Our web store has an SSL certificate that uses industry standard 128 bit encryption technology, this is the same level of encryption used by large banks to keep your information secure. We accept Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal. PayPal is a secure payment option, which prides itself on being “the safer, easier way to pay”. You can read about PayPal’s safety guarantees here.

How do I know what size to order?

You can find our sizing chart here. We get that clothes aren’t always an exact science, If something that you’ve ordered doesn’t fit quite the way you would like, please contact us for instructions on how to exchange for the size that best suits your body!

Do you offer hemming or alterations?

We offer complimentary hemming on all Public Myth pants and leggings! Simply request your desired inseam length in the notes at checkout for a free alteration. Please note that sale items are excluded and that we cannot issue any refunds or exchanges on altered garments.

I really liked something that I saw but it says “SOLD OUT”… what does this mean?

Sometimes this simply means that the item was such a big hit and were all sold before we could make more. If this is the case, we plan to restock the item as soon as possible. However, we often discontinue items that we feel have run their course and will no longer be producing these items. A good way to know if that is the case is if the item is on sale. In that case, we will remove the item from our web store when all of the sizes have been sold out. If you see a sold out item that you'd like to see restocked, let us know! We'll add you to our "notify me" list for any potential restocks. You can also stay in the loop about our newest additions and restocks by  subscribing to our email list, “liking” us on Facebook, and following us on Instagram.

Why is my promotional code not working?

Occasionally Public Myth will offer promotional discounts via the use of temporary codes. If you feel your code has expired prematurely, please contact our customer care team by email. Public Myth reserves the right to discontinue promotional codes at any time. Submitting Public Myth discount codes to third party coupon-sharing websites, sharing codes in broadcast email campaigns or posting these codes on any third party online platform, without expressed permission of Public Myth, will result in immediate discontinuance of the code.

I get a “gateway error” error message when I try to checkout online… what should I do?

If you are using an American Express or Discover card, please be advised that you’ll need to checkout through the PayPal option in order to use these. All other inquiries about this error must be directed to your banking institute, as the error message is coming from something that is happening on their side (ie: declined card; security breach; systems down; etc.)

Can I cancel/change my order after I’ve paid for it?

As we like to pack and ship our orders as soon as they come in (sometimes shipping within minutes of receiving the order), it is imperative that you contact us as soon as you realize that a change needs to be made. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate your request after your order has been placed.

Can I add something to my order after I’ve paid for it?

If you decide to place a second order, you may be able to get your additional items packed in together and save on shipping. Any orders placed on the same shipping day, by the same customer, going to the same address, will be shipped together. Make sure to act quickly, we will be shipping out your original order as soon as possible.

Here’s what you do:

1. place ANOTHER order through our website (pay for your items and the shipping, as usual)
2. Attach a “note” in your second order, explaining that this is your second order for the day and you would like your items shipped together
3. When we process your second order, we will refund you the cost of your shipping.
