When the returning item is in transit, we will remove the hold. If the returning item is damaged or not in sellable condition, you will be responsible for the cost of the new item.  

If you decide against using the Instant Exchange, we do NOT hold or save items in our current inventory. Stock will not be claimed until we receive your returning item. Please note, this is also true for "Shop Now" items. After we have received and processed your returning item(s) being exchanged, we will issue a refund.

Items in this collection have been discontinued and will not be restocked. These items are not eligible for return or exchange and are final sale, no exceptions. Please make sure you know your size before ordering.

Made-To-Order

All Made-To-Order (MTO) garments, which includes Jersey for a Cause items, are a collection of individually produced items. We do not carry these items in stock, and they are made after being ordered. They typically take 16-28 days from the date of purchase to receive. Once your order has shipped, we'll send you a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number. 

If you need to edit or cancel an MTO order, email [email protected] immediately. Please provide information regarding the item, size, color, and any change you would like to make. Once a product goes into production, we are unable to make any product related changes. If you need to change your shipping address, please include the new address and any pertinent information.  

Made-To-Order items are individually manufactured when ordered and usually take 24-28 days from the date of purchase to receive. If your order contains a combination of in stock items and MTO products, your order will be split, and the items will ship separately.  

MTO orders ship FedEx and are unable to deliver to PO Boxes.

Products

To extend product lifetime and maximize its quality and performance, we recommend following our wash and care instructions. While your product will not endure forever, we recommend protecting your investment and giving it the attention it deserves.  

We do not have a back ordering system. If you are unable to add an item to your order, this means the item is unavailable and you will need to wait for it to come back into stock before purchasing. If you would like to be notified when stock becomes available, please follow these steps:  Go to the product page, select your size and color, click “Notify Me When Available”, and enter your email.  

We offer price adjustments on verified purchases placed within 7 days of a sales period. This excludes final sale items and items purchased as part of additionalpromotions. All refunds will be issued in the form of store credit.

Each bib is unique and offers different fabrics, compression levels, chamois, features, and benefits. We recommend ordering one size across all models and styles. Please refer to our Bib Comparison guide for additional information.

Our premium Italian made chamois are anatomically designed (gender specific) using different constructions, densities, and foams. Our chamois are developed for performance and comfort. Each chamois is offered in one standard cut and will remain the same across all bib sizes. Please check out our Premium Italian-Made Chamois guide to learn more.

Our jerseys are offered in three fits: Relaxed, Traditional, and Aero.

Crash Replacement

Yes, we offer a crash replacement discount that applies to replacing the damaged item(s) with the same garment (size, model, and color).  

Please email [email protected] your order number(s), a photo of the damaged garment(s), and a brief description of the incident and affected items. Not that we are unable to process any discounts or claims without a photo or order number.

Warranty

Indy freelance will replace or repair any garment to restore the original function within the lifetime of the garment. If the product is no longer available to replace, we will issue store credit. However, just remember, all good things must come to an end, including your most beloved garments. No chamois can last forever. Please to not try to prove us wrong...for the sake of just about everyone!

Our warranty does not include product failures resulting from normal wear, misuse, improper care, or accidents. Normal wear includes the inherent deterioration of materials and colors over a prolonged time and/or with heavy use. Examples are abrasion marks, thinning materials, and fading logos.

Please send a photo (or multiple photos) to [email protected] with the subject line "Warranty Claim" and your order #. Make sure to also include a detailed description of the issue you are experiencing. We will have one of our representatives reach out with additional instructions.

If you are asked to send back your garments, we request that they are washed and cleaned. If not, we will send them back to you. You must include a note detailing your warranty claim. Please include your name, email, order number (if available), return address, issue description, and any relevant information. Shipment costs must be paid by the shipper. We recommend purchasing insurance as we are not liable for items lost during transit.

After we receive and process your warranty claim (3-5 business days), it may take up to 6 weeks to repair, reship, and have your item(s) delivered. Our turn-around time may vary depending on the season.
