Step-by-Step Guide to Snagging Your First Piece
Step 1: Sign Up for Drop Alerts
Miss a drop and you’ll pay triple on resale sites. Head to the store page and enter your email for restock notifications. Do not rely on social media alone - notifications from Instagram or Twitter are easy to miss mid-scroll.
Pro tip: Turn on browser notifications for the store site. That way, even if your inbox is chaos, a pop-up will ping you the second a limited edition hoodie drops.
Step 2: Check the Size Chart (Seriously)
The size chart isn’t decoration. Measure your chest, sleeve length, and torso. TheBurntPeanut tees have a length of 28 inches for a medium - that’s shorter than most athletic brands, so if you’re tall, consider sizing up.
Common mistake: Ordering your usual T-shirt size because “it’s just a shirt.” I’ve had three customers tell me they regretted not checking the chest measurement. The hoodies run roomy, so if you want a trim fit, go down one size.
Step 3: Choose Your Drop Strategy
Regular drops happen every 6-8 weeks with plenty of stock. Limited drops (collabs, anniversary, charity) sell out in minutes. For limited drops, have your payment info saved, log in 10 minutes early, and refresh the page exactly at drop time.
For regular drops, you have more breathing room. You can comparison shop between the Snapback and the Zip-Up without panic. But if you see something marked “low stock,” grab it - those restocks can take three months.
Step 4: Complete Your Purchase in Under 90 Seconds
For limited drops, speed matters. Use a credit card or PayPal (autofill) that’s already saved. Avoid Apple Pay glitches - test your payment method on a regular item first.
Step 5: Track Your Order Like a Pro
You’ll get a confirmation email within minutes. Shipping takes 5-10 business days in the US, a bit longer internationally. If it’s been 12 days and no update, check your spam folder first, then contact us via the store’s contact form.
Step 6: Unbox and Share (But Don’t Squeeze the Mystery Box)
Take a photo or video for #BurntSquadFit. But if you grabbed a Mystery Box, resist the urge to squeeze or peek - part of the fun is the reveal. Bin the packing materials and wash tees inside out to preserve prints.
