A little clarity goes a long way.
What to expect when you shop, support the work, or choose to contribute DNA.
What does my purchase support?
Net proceeds from merchandise support DNA testing for unsolved cases. We do not promise a fixed contribution per item or a particular case outcome.
Where do you ship, and how much does it cost?
We ship worldwide, subject to available carrier services and applicable restrictions. Available services, shipping charges, and taxes collected with your order are shown at checkout before you place an order. Othram Archive pieces include free standard shipping to supported destinations; other products retain their normal shipping charges. Items fulfilled separately may arrive in different packages. International deliveries may involve customs clearance and additional import charges.
Shipping policyWhen will my order arrive?
Orders for in-stock items held at Othram—including the challenge coin, tote, and DNA kits—are processed within 24 hours. Production for hoodies and hats usually takes a few days and can vary. Delivery time is additional and depends on the shipping service and destination. Items fulfilled separately may arrive in different packages. Follow your order confirmation and tracking information, or contact us with your order number for help.
How do I request a return?
Email solve@othram.com within 30 days of delivery to request a merchandise return. Items must be in their original condition, unworn or unused by you, with original tags and packaging where supplied. Othram pays approved return postage; original shipping is not refunded for ordinary returns, except where required by law. DNA kits are excluded from our voluntary returns policy. Contact us before mailing anything back. Approved refunds are issued within 10 business days, or sooner where required by law. See the full policy for details and statutory rights.
Return and refund policyIs the DNA kit an ancestry test?
No. It is a collection kit for a voluntary DNA contribution to DNASolves for forensic identification work. Review the program, privacy information, and consent requirements before purchasing.
Can I contribute DNA I already tested?
DNASolves offers an existing DNA profile upload pathway. Review the program’s current eligibility and instructions at DNASolves.
