Sackcloth & Ashes is often used to describe someone showing “mourning” and “repentance.”

For us, it symbolizes our mourning over the homeless population and repentance by contributing to people in need.

Every blanket listed on our website is currently made from heritage mills in Prato, Italy.

We donate twin-size fleece blankets to high-turnover shelters and cotton or wool blend blankets to programs serving long-term guests.

We donate based on the shipping address's zip code, partnering with over 600 shelters and programs across the U.S.

International donation blankets are sent to the U.S. shelters most in need.

If a shelter has reached capacity for blanket donations, your blanket may be allocated to a neighboring shelter. Your blanket will be sent along our donation timeline. We await distribution until a pool of 20 blankets have accumulated and time our shipments based on the shelters request rather than the order date. We appreciate your understanding.

Yes. Priority shipping delivers in 2-3 days, Economy shipping delivers in 4-5 days.

Please keep in mind you are solely responsible for all customs fees, duties and taxes.

Customs fees and duties are an additional charge levied on items that are being imported into your country.

These fees are determined by your government and are usually a percentage of your parcel value.

Typically, when you ship a package from overseas, any package that has a value greater than a certain amount may be subject to customs fees and duties.

Customs fees and duties differ from country to country.

These fees are not disclosed to us beforehand, so we have no way of estimating in advance how much your customs fees might be.

Therefore Sackcloth & Ashes will not accept any responsibility for your country's applied fees.

In addition to customs fees, some countries may also charge additional taxes, depending on the item and parcel value, such as goods and services taxes (GST), value-added tax (VAT) etc. 

We offer multiple shipping abilities at checkout, including an option that requires your package to be signed for upon delivery.

This service costs $10.00 and is offered to eliminate the chance of stolen packages.

The recipient must be present to sign for the package, ensuring your order won't be left on your doorstep.

If you did not select this service, unfortunately, Sackcloth & Ashes is not liable for your loss.

We recommend you reach out directly to the carrier that delivered your item.

They should be able to help you locate the item or file a claim for reimbursement.

If your tracking info says the package was delivered but you can’t find it, don't worry.

This happens occasionally and most of the time the package turns up.

We recommend you start by checking your porch, side door, driveway, behind trash cans, etc, to be sure your item wasn’t tucked out of sight by the carrier.

It wouldn’t hurt to check with your neighbors or the lobby of your building as well.

Please also reach out to the carrier service used for shipping your item, either FedEx or USPS (check your tracking number online to confirm carrier).

Your local carrier office will be able to speak directly with the carrier that delivers to your area and hopefully help you locate the package.

If you haven’t located your item within 3 days of confirmed delivery, please contact us.
