Where We Ship

Physical products such as apparel, hats, and stickers ship within the United States only: all 50 states, including Alaska and Hawaii. We do not currently ship physical goods outside the US.

  • Outside the US? DXF digital files are available for purchase and instant download worldwide. No shipping required.

Order Tracking

  • A tracking number is emailed to you when your order ships.
  • Track via USPS.com or UPS.com using your tracking number.
  • Shopify order confirmation emails include a direct tracking link.
  • Allow 24 hours after shipment notification for tracking to activate.

Address Accuracy

Please double-check your shipping address before placing your order. BeefyMachine is not responsible for orders shipped to incorrect addresses provided by the customer. If you catch an address error after placing an order, contact us immediately at support@beefymachine.com and we will do our best to intercept the order before it ships.

Lost or Stolen Packages

Once a carrier confirms delivery, BeefyMachine is not responsible for lost or stolen packages. If your tracking shows delivered but you have not received your order, check around your delivery area and with neighbors, contact your local post office or UPS location with your tracking number, file a claim with the carrier directly, and contact us so we can help you navigate the process.

For high-risk delivery addresses, we recommend selecting a shipping option with signature confirmation at checkout.

Refund Processing

  • Approved refunds are issued to your original payment method.

  • Original shipping costs are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error.

Exchanges

We do not currently offer direct exchanges. If you need a different size or color, return the original item following the standard return process above and place a new order for the correct item. This ensures you get your replacement as quickly as possible without waiting for the return to process.

Defective, Damaged, or Incorrect Items

If you received a defective product, something was damaged in shipping, or we sent you the wrong item, we make it right at our expense.

  • Email support@beefymachine.com within 7 days of delivery.
  • Include your order number and a photo of the issue.
  • We will send a replacement or issue a full refund including shipping - your choice.

Damage caused by normal wear, washing, or misuse is not covered under this policy.

Digital Products - DXF Files

All DXF file sales are final. Because digital files are delivered instantly and cannot be returned, we cannot issue refunds after download.

  • If you experience a technical issue such as a corrupt file or wrong format, contact us within 30 days.
  • If you accidentally purchased the wrong file, email us and we will work with you on a case-by-case basis.
  • We stand behind our file quality. If a file does not work as described, we will make it right.
