Ordering
For items that are in stock, customer orders placed before 12 pm MDT, Monday–Friday will usually ship that same day because we work very hard to deliver the best possible service. Orders placed after 12 pm MDT Monday–Thursday will ship within 24 hours. Orders placed later than 12 pm MDT on Friday (or during the weekend) will ship the following Monday. In all cases we will try our best to exceed these minimum expectations.
Certain items ship directly from our vendors and generally ship out in three business days
or less.
Estimated delivery dates
for each product are displayed on individual product pages and also in the order confirmation email you’ll receive immediately after placing an order.
If you have already placed an order and would like to:
- Cancel the order
- Add or remove items
- Change the shipping address
Please contact our support team within 30 minutes of placing your order. For the best chance of us being able to honor
your request, please send your message with the subject line "Modify or cancel order" and include your order number in the body of your message.
Cancellations and order modifications are not guaranteed and can only be made during business hours (Monday - Friday from 9am to 6pm MT).
We occasionally offer coupons, promo codes, or first-time buyer discounts, but it is not the norm. We try very hard to only carry quality products that are worth your hard-earned dollar.
We will not honor codes found on third-party discount, coupon, or promotion
websites.
Shipping
We do not currently offer an expedited shipping option due to Advanced Primate's business model. The vast majority of the
products that we offer are in stock at our warehouse and those items generally
ship via USPS priority 2-3 day mail.
Other products we feature on our site are handmade or are pre-orders and in many of those cases we do not have inventory in stock at the time an item is offered for sale. This allows us to offer lower prices to our customers, but it usually adds about a week or two to the wait time.
As soon as your order has shipped you will receive an email with the tracking information for your item(s). You can also quickly access tracking information for past orders via your account page.
Within the United States we ship using either USPS or FedEx. Some of our brand partners who ship directly to you may also use UPS. Please note that all US orders over $250 will be shipped with a signature
requirement.
For international orders we ship with DHL Global eCommerce.
If you have any special shipping requests, please contact us within 30 minutes of placing your order and we will try our best to accommodate you.
In addition to the United States, we ship to many other countries around the world including: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bermuda, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Chine, Columbia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland,
Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.
Shipping costs for international orders vary based on destination and are calculated on the checkout page, but generally they will follow our standard pricing.
Please note that some products do not ship internationally, including (but not limited
to) knives/blades, flammable items, items with lithium batteries, and any products that require special handling due to their weight and/or size. Any
applicable shipping restrictions will be stated on individual product pages.
Average Transit times
- Australia - 18 days
- Canada - 10 days
- United Kingdom - 13 days
Please note that these average transit times are given as estimates only, actual transit time may be considerably longer in some cases. Advanced Primate does not make any delivery
guarantees for orders shipped to addresses outside of the US.
Returns
Advanced Primate is committed to customer satisfaction. We want to assure you are 100% satisfied with the product that you purchased, which is why we offer a 30-day return / exchange period.
- Returned/ exchanged items must be in 100% resalable condition (unworn, unused, undamaged)
- Time frame begins at original purchase date
- Return item(s) must be received back at Advanced Primate within the 30-day window.
- All returns and exchanges must be initiated from original point of sale (i.e. advancedprimate.com)
We do NOT currently accept returns or exchanges on any international orders. All sales
of those items are final. To initiate a return or exchange, visit our returns page.
We try very hard to issue refunds as quickly as possible!
Theprocess goes pretty much like this:
Once we've physically received your return package and confirmed the condition and
contents, we will start the refund process. Our target is to get you your money back within 10-17 business days from the time you send your return item back to
us, but it could take up to 4 weeks during our busiest returns season (November-February).
Please note that once a credit card refund has been issued, it can take up to 5-7 business days for your bank to reflect that transaction on your account
statement. This time will vary based on your cardholder policy.
Lastly, we will notify you via email when your return has been processed and the refund
has been issued.
We understand that your inbox is sacred so we want to make sure we're sending emails at whatever cadence is right for you. You can update your email preferences at any time via your account page.
Your options are:
- All Advanced Primate Emails (1-2 per week)
- Once Per Month
- Clearance Events Only (4 times per year)
- Unsubscribe
Please note that whatever option you select, you will always receive an email confirmation.
Products
Due to Advanced Primate's business model some brands and sales are only on the site for a limited time. In those cases we won't always restock something that we've sold in the past.
If there is a particular product that you're interested in that's currently sold out, we recommend signing up our newsletter located at the bottom of any page
on our site. We send out restock notifications for popular items that were previously sold out as part of our service to our newsletter subscribers.
Once you've done that, rest assured that you will be notified if and when that item
is back in stock!
Advanced Primate carries a wide range of different products, so we are not able to offer a blanket warranty on everything we sell.
Many of the brands we work with offer warranties for any issues outside of normal wear and tear. If you're not able to get in touch with a brand directly, please contact
us and we'll be happy to help coordinate a warranty claim or see what else we can do to make it right.
We stand behind everything we sell on AdvancedPrimate.com. As long as you haven't been running marathons in your flip-flops or opening cans with your knife, we'll try our very best to help you out.

In short, we are always on the lookout for high-quality gear made by American brands with a unique story. If your gear is

We are always looking for motivated and bright individuals to become part of our team. If you are interested in working at AdvancedPrimate.com please submit your information and resume to us at info@advancedprimate.com

if you'd like to be considered as an Advanced Primate Ambassador please contact us and let us know what
you've got in mind. We're always open to great new ideas and working with amazing people!
Generally speaking, there's no secret to becoming an ambassador, but most of the great ones we've encountered have the following in common:

Good luck and see you out
