ORDER PREPARATION
At THE RUNNING REPUBLIC® we are working every day to improve your experience with the brand, not only developing the best sustainable sports apparel, but also providing the best purchasing experience, so we found the way to propose you two types of delivery: a faster delivery to enjoy your new equipment in a maximum of 48 hours and another less urgent and cheaper if you do not have this requirement: our commitment is to deliver your parcel in 24-48 hours (working days) with our faster delivery and in 2-6 working days with the slower delivery. If you have any doubt about our delivery terms you can write to contacto@therunningrepublic.com.
All orders placed from Monday to Friday before 12:00p.m. will be prepared and shipped within 24 hours. Orders placed after 12:00p.m. will be prepared the next business day (Commitment to orders placed from an European country, from Monday to Friday before 12:00p.m.).
We don’t make any shipment on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays.
Once the order is placed, THE RUNNING REPUBLIC® will send an email with the order confirmation.

Is returning a product free of charge?
THE RUNNING REPUBLIC® is always looking for the way to leave the smallest possible carbon footprint. Ecommerce has grown a lot in the last years and its deliveries have become a possible threat to the environment, especially if they are overused, so the shipping costs of the return are borne by the Customer and will be discounted from the amount that THE RUNNING REPUBLIC® will pay for return.
Products received as rewards for a crowdfunding campaign can't be returned.
We want to create a relationship based on trust, so we are very transparent when we affirm that we are convinced that if the costs for return are borne by the customer, unnecessary returns will be drastically reduced, reducing considerably the CO2 emissions directly proceeding from deliveries.
