How long will shipping take?

We know you’d like to receive your Merch Hunter items as soon as possible, so we process and ship all orders within 1-2 business days. Once your order has been shipped, we will send a dispatch notification to the e-mail address you registered with when the order was placed. How long shipping itself takes is based on your proximity to Hungary as packages are sipped from Hungary – Budapest as well as customs regulations in your country.
Typical shipping windows are:
Hungary: 2 – 3 business days
Europe: 10 – 15 business days
International: 20 – 25 business days
Please note, that if you’ve pre-ordered items that are not in stock, it means that the artist needs to create it first. If this is the case, we will need about 2 weeks after you’ve placed your order.

Product info

Are your items warranted?

Each item is made of quality materials and created with care. From the date of delivery, our products are warranted for a period of no longer than 1 year. This warranty only applies if the item is not subject to abnormal usage or wear.
Reimbursed shipping will be covered by us 100% if shipped within the EU and up until the amount of 15 USD in other cases.
We are unfortunately unable to replace lost or stolen items.

What are unique design items?

All our products are handmade and unique, since there are no two identical pieces of leather, crystals or even two identical hammer strikes. But some of our items are also unique designs, meaning, the design itself was only created once. You cannot purchase two of such items, and it’s also not possible to pre-order them.

How does pre-ordering work?

In some cases we might be out of stock for certain items, however it’s possible to place a pre-order. In such cases we require up to 2 weeks in addition before we can ship your order, since the artisan needs to create your pre-order.

Who designed and created Merch Hunter items?

For each item, we display the creator, so you can get to know whose handiwork you’re looking at. For more information about our partners, visit the About us section.

Can I request a custom design?

For multiple reason, we do not take custom design orders. For one, we would like to allow our partners as much artistic freedom as possible, when creating each item. Secondly, we believe that for a custom design to be 100% satisfactory, you need to discuss the fine details. Preferably even meet in person and take measurements and measurements and when you’re done with that, take the measurements again, just to be sure. Our platform is not suitable for such in depth conversation, and we are not able to arrange a meeting for you with our artisan partners.

Are your items waterproof?

All items are water resistant, but most of them are not waterproof. We indicate in each case if you should take special care when wearing your Merch Hunter item. In general, it is best to avoid water when wearing leather or copper materials. Most of our items are considered occasional, and while you are of course free to wear them every day proper care is required as well as regular maintenance and keeping them well.

Can my order differ from the photos?

As all our items are handcrafted and made using natural materials, such as antlers, leather, wood, crystals or different metals, each item will have its own unique pattern and therefore be slightly different from the pictures. This is what makes each item truly unique.

Do your items require maintenance?

You can keep your items vital and vibrant by occasionally giving them some attention. It is a natural thing that wear and tear might cause discoloration on even the finest jewelry. But that occasional care can help give back your favorite jewelry its original shine.
First of all, keep our items dry and avoid chemicals, including perfumes and creams. You should especially avoid hot water.
Do not wear silver directly with gold or brass as it can cause discoloration.
Brass can also develop a black residue due to oxidation after some time. This is due to humidity, climate and weather, even the PH of your body. But don’t worry, if that happens, simply soak that material – only that material – in lemon juice for no more than 15 seconds and rinse in water. Polish it dry with a jewelry cloth and you’re done! You can also opt to purchase polishing products.

How long will your items last?

All pieces are made of high quality material and created with care, so may take joy in wearing them for as long as possible. With any type of jewelry, taking certain regular care of these items can help extend their lifespan.

I haven't received a dispatch notification of shipping

You should receive a dispatch notification when your order is shipped. If you haven’t received a notification, your order is probably not shipped yet.
