FAQ
Questions about Sleeper
Where are you located?
Before Russia's full-scale invasion, our team and office were located in Kyiv. At the moment, most of the team is already back in our cozy office, while the rest of us continue to work remotely from different parts of the world.
What are your brand values?
Sleeper’s mission is to cultivate love and self-care in everyday life. We believe that every day, through what we do, we increase the number of people who take care of themselves responsibly. For them, and in this spirit, we create cross-functional apparel that makes it possible to focus on the important things in life.

Where do you produce your garments?
All Sleeper production was located in Kyiv before the full-scale invasion. After that, we were forced to move most of the production to Turkey to continue working safely and create polished garments. We look forward to returning to Ukraine as soon as possible with the entire Sleeper family.
Are you sustainable?
As a brand that deeply cares about sustainability, we are strongly committed to becoming an entirely sustainable brand by 2030. To learn more about our sustainability initiatives, visit the-sleeper.com/responsibility. Here are a few such initiatives below:
Our products are handmade
Every garment is hand-made, and a minimum of equipment is used in its production, which allows us to reduce our carbon emissions.
We are zero-waste
We call our production ‘zero waste’ as we only make as many items as we can sell, and we give the left-over fabrics to our tailor Anya, who teaches local children the craft of cutting and sewing. Once a year, we also organize a public sample sale, where we sell our collection samples and any items that have minor defects.
Decent working conditions
It's extremely important for us to provide decent working conditions - safe jobs, employment records, competitive wages, paid vacations. We follow the principles of equality and inclusivity in our recruitment process.
Timelessness
We support slow fashion and strive to create pieces that will last for years.
Natural materials
We use natural materials in our collections such as linen, silk, and viscose. We are aiming for 100% of our materials to be biodegradable by 2030.
Responsible suppliers
We are guided by our Partnership and Suppliers' Sustainability Policy when working with partners and suppliers. This policy regulates the basic principles of company conduct in terms of respecting human rights and laws, caring for the health of employees and protecting the environment, sustainable production and consumption, as well as ethical principles of business conduct. Further details can be found on our website.
Eco-packaging
Each Sleeper piece is packaged in a reusable linen bag that can be used in everyday life afterwards.

Do I have to pay import taxes or customs duties
If your order is shipped within the United States, you will not need to pay any additional fees.

Do you ship to PO boxes
Sadly, we can’t ship packages to PO boxes.
How long does the shipping take?
Proud of being a slow-fashion brand, we are always working on streamlining our operations and optimizing the manufacturing process. To ensure transparency, we currently have three types of dispatch variations that depend on item availability.
Stock item
This item has already been crafted and can be shipped to you within 1-2 business days. Depending on your location, delivery can take up between 3-5 business days.
Shipped Within 1-2 weeks
This item is currently being made at our atelier to become a stock item in the future. Its processing takes slightly longer as we have different stocks available in different locations.
Shipped Within 3-4 weeks
To craft our garments for you, our seamstresses need some time. For items in demand, the process of manufacturing is extended because the atelier may be awaiting fabrics.
To make your shopping experience better, and to avoid long waiting times, we ship your order from two main locations - the United States and the United Kingdom. If you have questions regarding the country from which your order will be shipped, contact our Customer Care team at care@the-sleeper.com.
Orders to the United States
We offer two options for delivery across the United States - UPS Ground (2-5 days) and UPS 2nd Day Air. You may select your preferred shipping option at check-out.
International orders
To make your shopping experience better and avoid long wait times, we have collaborated with two fulfillment centers on the East and West coasts, that ship our products globally with DHL and UPS. All orders within US will be shipped with UPS service and will take around 2-5 days to arrive.
Depending on item availability, your order may ship from the US via UPS Worldwide (delivery within 5 -12 business days) or from the UK via FedEx or DPD (delivery within 2-7 days).
As soon as your order ships, we will send you a tracking number in the Shipping confirmation email.
Orders to Russia and Belarus
Please note that we have suspended delivery to Russia and Belarus.
Holidays and Sale
Please note that processing times can extend during the holiday seasons, sales and special offers. If you have any questions when your item will arrive, please contact us via care@the-sleeper.com
How does UPS 2nd Day Air work
You can opt for the UPS 2-day delivery option if the item is 'in stock'. If you place your order by 10 AM EST on a business day, we will send the package on the same day.
Orders of stock items placed after 10 AM EST will ship the next business day.
Please note that your order shipped with UPS 2nd Day Air will be delivered by the end of the day, in two days (excluding public holidays and weekends).
How does DHL Express work
You can select the DHL Express shipping method for 'In-stock' items. If you place your order by 10 AM EST on a business day, we will send the package on the same day.

We are excited to ship your order as soon as possible. Therefore, if the express delivery wasn't available at the checkout, please reach us via care@the-sleeper.com, so our team can arrange it for you.
I received an incomplete order
Once your order is placed, our team looks for the fastest methods to ship it. As long as garments are available at different locations, we may split your order into two shipments and send your order from two destinations. We will surely send the shipments' confirmation emails once the packages are dispatched and on the way to you.
Can I reject the delivery
Please note that we cannot reimburse orders on which the customs duties haven't been cleared. Thus, we will be only able to process a refund after taxes have been paid on your end and the returned package is received back and checked at our warehouse. Please note that shipping and handling charges, such as shipping fees, customs duties, import taxes, and VAT are non-refundable.
My order says ‘delivered’, but I haven't received it
Please note, due to the impacts of COVID-19 globally, many carriers may be experiencing delivery delays.
Sometimes the following situations may occur with parcels that are shown as delivered:
1. The postal carrier left the package somewhere discreet to prevent it from being stolen.
2. A neighbor or roommate may have accepted the package for you.
3. The postal carrier marked the package as delivered a few days in advance.
In case you can't still can’t locate the package, please take these steps:
1. Double-check if the address you entered while placing an order was correct.
2. Try reaching out to the carrier if any shipping issues arise, including lost shipments or questions regarding tracking.
If the package hasn’t shown up after 3 business days, please contact us via a care@the-sleeper.com
