How it Works
The Contrarian Store runs on seasonal product drops — limited-time offerings of original gear and goods. Each drop is only available for a short window, and once the window closes, we produce what’s been ordered. No overstock, no reruns. Because everything is made-to-order, shipping may take 3–5 weeks.
All sales are final.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a product “drop”?
A drop is a limited-time release of Contrarian-branded goods. We open the store for a short window, take orders, and then produce exactly what’s been purchased. Once the drop ends, it’s closed — no restocks, no leftovers. If you miss the window, don't worry! Our classic bestselling items will be for sale at all times, so you can rep your Contrarian spirit year-round.
What’s in this drop?
The Art of Resistance drop features a brand new limited edition run of screen prints and postcards — all designed in collaboration with Contrarian contributors.
What does "union decorated" mean?
"Union-decorated” means that the product was printed, screen printed, or embroidered by a union-backed domestic shop. So all of the merch is made in USA and the artwork is applied by union shops.
How long will shipping take?
Because everything is made-to-order, shipping can take 3–5 weeks from the end of the drop window. All sales are final.
Can I return or exchange my order?
No — all sales are final. We produce exactly what’s ordered, so we can’t offer returns, exchanges, or cancellations after checkout.
Will these products be available again?
Possibly. Each drop is curated for the moment, but we may bring back select evergreen favorites — like our mugs, logo tees, and totes.
Where do you ship?
For now, we ship within the U.S. If you’re outside the U.S. and want to place an order, get in touch by emailing us at shop@contrariannews.org — we’re working on expanding shipping options.
