THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING AT NOSO!

On this page, you will find answers to some of the most common questions that we receive from our customers. If you have a question that we haven’t answered below, please contact us at info@nosopatches.com, and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

ORDERS, SHIPPING & RETURNS

WHAT ARE YOUR SHIPPING FEES?2023-11-16T16:01:12-07:00

For our domestic patchers, shipping costs are $5 flat rate.  We are not Amazon, however that said we sometimes re-use Amazon’s boxes to ship products because we’re eco like that.  We appreciate your patience, as a small company we’re doing the best we can each day of the week.

We also love to ship to our international patchers! For our international customers, shipping costs are $23 or more depending on destination. Customers are responsible for additional taxes and duties upon entry to their country, and unfortunately, we are unable to offer free returns for our international customers.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY ORDER?2023-11-16T16:02:25-07:00

All orders are shipped within one to five business days of being submitted. Please take into account weekends and holidays when considering the shipping date. We don’t have a crystal ball, so anytime you reach to us we don’t know when the USPS deliveries will actually arrive, your guess is as good as ours.  It can take 3 days, and sometimes it can even take 30 days.  We have no idea why there is a huge discrepancy, but if the patches don’t make it to you, we’ve got your back.  Don’t worry, we will re-ship on the house because we know, how rad NoSo Patches are… and we want you to be happy and stoked about your experience shopping in the digital age.

Our pick and pack team in Wyoming carefully hand packages each order. Their names are Andrea, Petra, Will, Jonathan, and Carlos.  They get paid a living wage and they pack your orders with love and care.  For domestic orders, if you order 1-5 patch packets we ship USPS First Class without tracking and if you order 6 or more patch packets we ship USPS First Class with tracking.  If you need your order faster, please email us at info@nosopatches.com, and we will make every effort to deliver to you sooner!

ARE THERE ANY ITEMS THAT CANNOT BE RETURNED?2023-03-08T17:46:32-07:00

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS?2023-03-08T17:46:02-07:00

Sometimes you might order something, and our website doesn’t update the inventory fast enough.  When this happens we’ll see it on our end about an hour later. This typically happens on the weekend.  We’ll get like 5-6 orders in the same two hour period and we only have 5 units left in a particular SKU.  That 6th person, yea… we feel ya. You had your heart set on the Sasquatch and boom, Monday… we send you an email with the some sad news and offer you a substitution list for you to choose a replacement patch or we can process a refund. It’s your choice, again we want you to be happy and stoked because guess what? We’re patching the planet together and that should make you feel good.

PRODUCT APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:

HOW TO APPLY:2023-12-20T11:12:36-07:00
  • Prep: Clean Damage area with alcohol, and remove loose threads.
  • Apply: Crack and peel paper release liner. Center patch over damages area and apply pressure from center out to edges.
  • Application: Tumble dry low for 15 minutes, hair dryer 30 seconds, or sunshine for 15 minutes then press with circular motion for 30 seconds.
CAN I WASH NOSO PATCHES?2023-03-08T17:37:44-07:00

Yes! Be sure to heat-activate the adhesive first with a tumble in the dryer, a quick shot with a hair dryer or let it cure in the sun. Then you are all set to wash your gear as the manufacturer directs. Our patches have survived 50+ WASHES according to third party testing results from an independent lab. After that, we told them to take a lunch break, because who washes their gear that many times?

WHEN WILL I HAVE TO REPLACE A NOSO PATCH?2023-12-20T11:07:25-07:00

NoSo Patches are a long lasting repair solution. You’ll probably get sick of your gear before you even see a smidge of wear on your patch.

DO YOU HAVE AN ARCHIVE OF YOUR PRESS RELEASES?2023-12-20T11:19:06-07:00
DO YOU SELL LARGE PATCHES?2023-03-08T17:33:59-07:00

Yes! We sell large patches in the 4-6″ range. Find large patches here.

CAN I USE NOSO PATCHES ON STRETCHY MATERIALS?2024-02-23T14:08:10-07:00

No, NoSo Patches do not work on stretchy materials. The patch itself is not stretchy, so the fabric will pull the patch, resulting in the patch coming off or leaving lots of residue. If you are applying patches to stretchy fabric, only do so in areas that are not on high-use or tight areas.
