Ruffstar is a breed-inspired headwear brand built for true dog lovers. Every cap is intentionally designed to represent loyalty, strength, and the bond between you and your dog. We don’t chase trends — we represent character.

Ruffstar isn’t for everyone — and it doesn’t try to be. It’s for those who stand behind their dog. For those who move with purpose. For those who don’t follow noise — they set the tone.

Yes. Ruffstar is masculine-forward in design, but made for anyone who connects with the mindset — loyalty, independence, and strength. If you lead with intention, Ruffstar is for you.

Ruffstar isn’t just dog merchandise. Each breed design is purpose-driven and carefully crafted to reflect real breed identity — not cartoons or generic prints.

We focus on clean, bold design, quality materials, and limited drops. When you wear Ruffstar, you’re not just showing a breed — you’re leading the pack.

Ruffstar designs are original creations inspired by dog breeds. We are an independent brand focused on artistic representation and quality craftsmanship.

We release new breeds in curated drops throughout the year. Each drop is planned intentionally — we don’t rush designs. Quality and representation come first.

Every Ruffstar release is produced in limited quantities. Once a drop sells out, it may return in the future — but the design and colorway can change.

That means each specific version of a cap could be a one-time release. In some cases, it may take up to a year before that breed appears again.

We recommend joining our SMS list to get notified before new drops go live and to secure yours before they’re gone.

Generally, you can change your shipping address within 24 hours. Make sure to contact us  immediately with your order number, and the correct address. The more information you provide, the sooner we can change your information. Although we cannot guarantee that we'll catch your order in time before it enters processing, we will try our absolute best to make the requested changes.

Make sure you type ‘Urgent: Change Order Details’ in the subject line. Any other title may cause delay in the delivery of your order.

Please keep in mind that your order may already have been dispatched. In this case, we won't be able to send you another one so it’s best to contact the postal service.

Yes! all orders will include a tracking number. It will automatically be sent to your email. You can track your order directly at our site by clicking here.

If you received a shipping confirmation email with your tracking number, it means that your order has been shipped. Tracking numbers can take 5-9 business days to update depending on the shipping carrier. This is usually due to our high volume of orders.

As soon as your package is shipped, you may receive an email notification confirming the shipment. The email will provide you with the tracking number for your package and a link to the shipping carrier's website.

If there is a problem with your tracking number or package delivery, please contact the courier directly. Please allow 1 - 4 days for the tracking information to show up. In some rare cases, the tracking information may not update but you will still receive your order. Please contact us after the estimated delivery time. You can also track your order by clicking here.

99% of orders are shipped within 5 business days. More than a half of our orders are shipped within 3 business days or less. After your order has been shipped, you must also take into consideration transit times for your item to be delivered. 

Orders typically ship 3-5 business days after your order is received and are shipped USPS Ground Advantage, which takes 3-5 business days. We'd say conservatively, expect 5-10 business days for delivery after shipment has been made. Sometimes things happen and we ask that you be patient. However, if it has been more than 2 weeks, please contact us with your name, email, what you ordered and/or any specifics about your order to help us locate your product. Once a tracking number has been generated, we cannot refund your order.

We're very sorry to hear that you haven't received your package yet. When the tracking information indicates that the package was delivered, this means it was delivered to the shipping address provided to us at check-out. Please review the options below as it may help with locating your package.

A. Double check your shipping address.

We recommend to double check the shipping address you entered to ensure it was correct. Please make sure that the home number and unit number (if applicable) are correct.

You can check the shipping address that was provided to us at check-out by following the steps below:

1. Login to your Ruffstar account.

2. Click on the order that you have not received.

3. Review the shipping information to ensure the address provided is correct.

Kindly note, in the instance that an incorrect shipping address was provided to us, Ruffstar cannot be held accountable for mis-delivered packages. Customers are responsible for ensuring that all information provided to us at check-out is correct. If you believe your package was delivered to an incorrect address, please try to get in touch with the residents of that address to see if they can accept the package on your behalf.

Otherwise, keep an eye on the tracking information provided to see if it updates to show the package is being "returned to sender". If this is the case, please contact us with your order number and we'll be happy to reship the package to your intended address once we receive it back to us.

B. Check with your household members and your neighbors.

When a package is delivered, most carriers will simply deliver it to the address provided on the shipping label, and not necessarily to the recipient listed. Therefore, please check with your household members as there is a chance someone else may have accepted the package on your behalf.

We also recommend to check with your neighbors to see if anyone has accepted the package for you.

C. Check your mailbox and any safe drop areas around the parameters of your home.

In most cases, the carrier will specify on your tracking link where the package was delivered to (a mailbox, the front door, etc). We still recommend, however, to check all possible areas where it could have been delivered to rule out the other options.

What does safe drop mean? Safe drop refers to any locations around your household premises where your package may be deemed better hidden from passersby by the individual delivering your package. Please check around your porch, near your garage, and backyard entrance to see if the package is there.

D. For businesses - check with the security guard, mailroom, and front desk.

If your shipping address is to a business, there's a very good chance it was delivered somewhere and/or to someone else. Please check with your mail room, front desk, and security guard to see if anyone has accepted the package for you.

E. For apartment buildings - check with security or front desk/concierge.

In many instances for apartment buildings, the package will be delivered to concierge or security. Please check with your building's front desk or management office to inquire if they have received your package.

F. Contact your local post offices.

There's a chance that your package may have been held at one of your local post offices instead, despite the tracking showing as being 'Delivered'. We recommend to contact your local post offices to inquire if they're holding your package. Be sure you're contacting the number of that exact post office, and not the general support line of the carrier.

G. Wait 24-48 hours for your package to deliver.

On rare occasions, the carrier may mark the package as being delivered earlier than it actually is. Please wait 24-48 hours for your package to deliver or for the carrier to issue another update.

If you have done all of the above and still do not have your package, please contact us with your order number and we'll be happy to help you further.

Please note: We cannot be held accountable for packages where tracking information states the package has been delivered to your order address.

If you have previously experienced lost or stolen packages where you reside, we encourage you to have your package delivered to a work address to ensure that you receive it safely.

Ruffstar is not responsible for lost or stolen packages. The carrier will generally determine if your order can be left in a safe secure place at your delivery address.

Yes! We ship to military addresses. All mail is shipped via USPS to a military base who is then responsible for delivering the package to your final destination. For military orders, delivery times can be upwards of 15-20 business days.

At check-out, please select United States as the country, and in the state drop-down menu, you will have the option to select one of the following: Armed Forces America, Armed Forces Europe, or Armed Forces Pacific.

International customers (outside of the United States) are responsible to pay any applicable inbound duties, taxes, and any other fees which your local Customs Authority deems appropriate. These fees are paid to your local carrier or government and are not collected by Ruffstar, and thus cannot be refunded.

We ship international packages DDU (duties and taxes unpaid), meaning that these fees are not included in the price of the goods you purchase from our website. All applicable fees must be paid by the recipient in order to receive the parcel. As we are unable to advise the amount of these fees, we recommend contacting your country's customs office or tax agent for respective charges and rates.

Please note that DHL pays on your behalf for any duties and taxes that are due on the goods, as soon as they enter the country. This simple process ensures that the courier can deliver your package in the shortest possible transit time. The goods are released to you only upon the full repayment of any duties and taxes that were paid on your behalf. On some occasions, you may receive an invoice from DHL after the delivery of goods, for the charges they have paid on your behalf at destination, plus a small administration fee.

The speed of receiving your order can vary, depending on a few things such as your shipping method and the shipping address. We offer a couple of different methods of shipping. Each shipping method has its own handling time/benefits that you may compare on our shipping page.

The short answer is no. Occasionally, some orders do come out faster - depends on demand - but we cannot guarantee any order will arrive in 2-3 days. Please read the 'Shipping & Delivery' section to better understand our processing and shipping.

Yes, definitely! You can do so by filling in your address as the ‘billing address’ and the address you wish to ship your order to, as the ‘shipping address’.

The Ruffstar order process is automated in order to distribute products quickly and accurately. Once the order has been placed, it needs to be cancelled within an hour. If you need to cancel within that time frame, contact us with your cancellation request and order number. Please note, we receive a lot of orders and we are unable to go through them individually, as this would cause delays to other orders. Please review your items carefully before completing your orders, to avoid having to go through the cancellation process.

Don’t worry! This is a completely normal situation. This just means that different items of your order may have been shipped at different times or they have a delay due to pre-order, sale items or back-order products.

We have a very secure and smart payment system. If our system detects that your order is a potential risk of fraud, we will place your order on-hold and reach out to you to verify the details of your order for the safety of our company and for the credit card holder. For example, if you are placing an order with a credit card that is issued in a different country than where you are placing the order from, our system will detect the difference in countries and your order will be flagged as a potential risk of fraud.

To verify these details, please simply respond to the email that was sent to you from a Support Representative at Ruffstar.

For logistical reasons, items in the same purchase will sometimes be sent in separate packages to ensure quality in packaging, even if you've specified combined shipping. Please keep this in mind when receiving deliveries.

Some email providers mark our confirmation emails as spam or block them completely. You can check your spam folder to see if the email arrived there. If you are not able to find it there you can email us so we can confirm that the order was placed.

We accept all major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, Visa Debit, American Express, Discover, Diners and Paypal. Currently we stopped accepting Amazon Payment but we believe this service will be available in the future.

We don’t accept checks or money orders, but you can purchase through Paypal if you’re concerned about entering your credit card information online. Simply click the “Paypal” button in the shopping cart.

Your credit card will be charged once your order is processed to ship.

Please note that once credit card authorization is received, depending on your bank, the funds may be reserved up to 30 days. Please check your bank's policy. If you are paying with a debit card, please verify with your bank if there are limitations on daily withdrawal amounts on your card. Ruffstar reserves the right to request additional identification. If necessary, we will contact you by e-mail.

We have multiple security processes in place. For one, we will never save your credit card information at Ruffstar. This remains the private property of the card holder at all times before, during, and after the product purchase. Also, all transactions are processed through secure forms of payment which are used by millions of people daily and are heavily encrypted by third party-payment processors.

In addition to processing all credit card sales via a fully secured and reputable third party payment processor, your checkout experience is protected by industry standard 128 Bit SSL encryption to protect your private data.

Our trusted online payment partners monitor transactions continuously for suspicious activity and flag potentially fraudulent transactions for manual verification by our team. When our team is unable to rule out the possibility of fraud categorically, the transaction is kept on hold, and the customer is requested to provide identity documents. The ID documents help us ensure that the purchases were indeed made by a genuine card holder.

You will receive an error message immediately if there is a problem with processing your credit card. You'll have the opportunity to enter a new card number if this happens. Please make sure that all of your personal information matches the exact information (name, address, etc) associated with your credit card. If some information doesn't match, the transaction will not go through, as we have a very secure payment process. If you are unsure, please call your credit card company to verify the information they have on file.

Also, please ensure that your credit card is able to make international purchases. Ruffstar is a United States based company. You can also try going through the regular checkout or PayPal checkout as a payment option. Kindly note, our online checkout system does not allow for payments to be split on two cards.

If you are ordering outside of the United States, your credit card company or bank might charge you a fee of $1-$10 that might display as if it was charged by Ruffstar. This fee is not charged by Ruffstar, as it is charged directly by your bank. We cannot refund this fee as it is not charged by Ruffstar. Please contact your credit card provider or bank directly in regards to this charge.

Please confirm if you received an email confirmation via the email address you entered. If you see multiple pending charges on your bank statement, note that they will drop off your account in a few business days depending on your bank’s institution. Please contact your bank if you have any further questions regarding the pending charges. Please be sure the billing address you are providing is matching the exact billing address associated with your credit card and only click the submit button once to prevent multiple charges.

If you haven’t received a refund yet, first check your bank account, then contact your credit card company. It may take some time before your refund is officially posted. Next, contact your bank. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted. If you’ve done all of the above and you still have not received your refund yet, please contact us.

All prices listed on the website are in the US dollars. All final checkouts are in US dollars as well. For international orders, the bank that has issued your credit/debit card determines the exact exchange rate that you will be charged. The amount taken from the original funding source is returned in full when refunded by the seller. Please note that we cannot be held responsible for any discrepancies caused by exchange rate fluctuations.
