Order & Shipping
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping costs are calculated automatically at checkout, based on your delivery address and order weight.
When will I receive my order?
Every order is processed and packed by our team before it leaves our EU warehouse. As soon as your order has shipped, you'll receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking link.
Estimated delivery times (business days from dispatch):
Sweden, Denmark & Finland: usually 1–4 business days
Rest of the EU (Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Austria and similar): usually 1–5 business days
Southern & Eastern Europe and more remote regions (Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus and similar): usually 3–9 business days
Rest of the world (UK, USA, Canada and other international destinations): usually 2–10 business days, in some cases up to 13
These are estimates, not guarantees — weather, customs and peak-season volume can occasionally push a delivery outside these windows.
Whats my order status?
Once your order has shipped, you'll receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking link so you can follow it to your door. If your tracking hasn't updated in a while or something looks off, please contact us and we'll look into it with the carrier directly.
How do I cancel my order?
Cancellation of your order may be subject to its current status. For swift assistance, we recommend contacting us through our live chat or by sending us an email through the Contact us form below. If cancellation is not feasible, we can guide you through our straightforward returns process.
I forgot to add an item to my order; can I make a change before it ships?
After your order is finalized, it promptly enters the processing stage and is swiftly forwarded to the warehouse for shipping. Unfortunately, no modifications can be made during this stage to ensure the fastest delivery. If you wish to add more items, kindly initiate a new order on the website.
Can I change the color/size of what I just ordered?
Once your order has been submitted successfully, the order goes almost immediately to processing and then it’s sent to the warehouse to ship. To get your order to you as fast as possible, no changes can be made at this stage. Please contact us immediately to cancel the order. Please use the Contact us form down below. Otherwise, you can return or exchange your item once it arrives. Please review our Return and Exchange Policy.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes, we ship worldwide. Our shipping partners are DHL, UPS, Deutsche Post and others.
Do you ship to the US and UK? What about customs and duties?
Yes — every APRÍ order ships from within the European Union. For orders shipped within the EU, the price you pay at checkout is final, with no additional customs charges. For orders shipped to the United States and United Kingdom, import duties and taxes are calculated and included in your total at checkout — the price you pay covers your garments, shipping and duties. For orders shipped to other destinations outside the EU, your order may be subject to import duties or local taxes on arrival, set and collected by customs authorities, not by APRÍ. If potential duties affect your decision to order, write to us at admin@aprisportswear.com before you buy and we'll give you a straight answer.

FABRIC, TECHNOLOGY & CERTIFICATIONS
Why do gym clothes smell even after washing?
The smell in gym clothes after washing is caused by bacteria that embed deep in synthetic fabric fibres — particularly polyester — during training. These bacteria feed on the lipids and proteins in sweat and produce volatile organic acids that cause odour. Conventional washing at normal temperatures kills surface bacteria but does not always remove bacteria that have embedded in the fibre structure, which is why fabric can smell fresh out of the machine but quickly develop odour again when re-worn.
What is the best fabric for activewear that doesn't smell?
TENCEL™ Lyocell is the best performing fabric for odour resistance in activewear. Unlike polyester, lyocell is a hydrophilic (moisture-absorbing) fibre — it draws moisture away from the skin into the fibre itself, where it evaporates more quickly. This is significantly less hospitable to bacteria than the surface-moisture environment polyester creates. Conventional polyester — the dominant activewear fabric — is the most prone to odour retention.
Are silver ions in activewear safe?
Silver ions are used as antimicrobials in a large proportion of conventional "anti-odour" activewear. They are not acutely harmful in the concentrations used in textiles, but they wash out of fabrics over time and enter wastewater systems, where research has documented toxic effects of silver nanoparticles on aquatic organisms. APRÍ uses no silver, zinc, or heavy metals in any of its anti-odour treatments.
What are PFAS and why do they matter in sportswear?
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) — often called "forever chemicals" — are highly durable synthetic compounds used in some sportswear for water repellency, stain resistance, and anti-odour finishes. They do not break down in the environment. France's Law No. 2025-188, enacted February 2025, bans PFAS in clothing textiles from January 2026, with wider EU restrictions progressing through the ECHA process. APRÍ does not use PFAS in any of its products or finishing treatments.
What does OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification mean?
OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 is an independent textile testing and certification system. Certification means the finished product has been tested for and found free from more than 100 harmful substances, including heavy metals, pesticides, formaldehyde, phthalates, and certain dyes. Every APRÍ garment is OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified.
What is GOTS certification?
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the most rigorous certification for organic textiles. It covers the full production chain — from raw organic fibre through to finished product — including chemical inputs, environmental performance, and social working conditions.
What is Bluesign certification?
Bluesign is an independent certification covering sustainable textile manufacturing. It verifies responsible use of resources (water, energy), chemical safety across the supply chain, and safe working conditions in manufacturing. APRÍ's lyocell fabrics are Bluesign certified.
Is lyocell activewear better for the environment than polyester?
Yes, in several important ways. TENCEL™ Lyocell is made from wood pulp sourced from sustainably managed forests, manufactured in a closed-loop system where 99.5% of solvents are recovered and recycled, and it is biodegradable. Polyester is derived from petroleum, does not biodegrade, and sheds hundreds of thousands of microplastic fibres per wash — lyocell does not.
How often should I wash my activewear?
For activewear with effective anti-odour treatment (such as HeiQ Mint or NordShield), 2–3 wears between washes is reasonable for moderate-intensity training, and 1–2 wears for high-intensity sessions. Untreated polyester activewear typically needs washing after every session. Washing less reduces microplastic shedding, water and energy use, and extends the life of the garment and its anti-odour treatment.
