About Cockroach Merchandise
Is Cockroach Merchandise affiliated with any political party?
No. Cockroach Merchandise is 100% independent. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or representing any political party, candidate, movement or organisation — including the “Cockroach Janta Party.” Our designs are independent satire and parody: artistic commentary and humour, not political advertising, campaigning or fundraising. For the full statement, see our Disclaimer.
Is this the official “Cockroach Janta Party” store?
No. We are not the official store of, and have no connection to, the Cockroach Janta Party movement or anyone associated with it. We’re an independent merchandise brand that reclaims the “cockroach” label as a badge of resilience — purely as satire.
So what is Cockroach Merchandise?
An independent satirical streetwear store. We make tongue-in-cheek apparel for “India’s most resilient species” — humour you can wear. Nothing more political than that.
Why cockroaches?
Because they’re famously unkillable. We take an insult and flip it into a badge of resilience and self-deprecating humour. It’s a vibe, not a manifesto.
Do my purchases fund any party or movement?
No. Every order is an ordinary retail purchase of merchandise. We do not collect donations and do not fund any political party, candidate, campaign or movement.
Orders & Shipping
Where do you ship?
Across India only at the moment.
How much does shipping cost?
A flat ₹79 per order — and it’s free on orders over ₹1,499. The exact charge shows at checkout before you pay. See our Shipping Policy.
How long will my order take?
Items are made/printed to order. We usually dispatch within 3–5 business days, and delivery then takes about 7–12 business days depending on your location. These are estimates, not guarantees.
How do I track my order?
Where the courier provides tracking, we’ll email/SMS the details after your order ships. Any trouble, email us with your order number.
Do you ship internationally?
Not yet — we currently ship within India only. Sit tight; the swarm is spreading.
Payments
What payment methods do you accept?
Right now we offer Cash on Delivery (COD). Online payment (UPI/cards) may be added soon — whatever’s available will show at checkout.
Is Cash on Delivery available?
Yes. For COD orders we may send a quick verification message/call before we dispatch, just to confirm the order is genuine.
Is it safe to shop here? What about my data?
We only collect what we need to fulfil your order and we never sell your data. See our Privacy Policy (aligned with India’s DPDP Act, 2023) for the full picture.
Products, Sizing & Care
How do I pick the right size?
Check the size guide on each product page and compare it with a t-shirt you already own. Since items are made to order, we can’t accept change-of-mind/size returns — so measure twice, order once. (Damaged/wrong items are always covered — see Refund & Return Policy.)
What are the t-shirts made of?
Heavyweight cotton, built to outlive everything. Exact fabric/GSM details are listed on the product page.
How do I care for my merch?
To keep the print sharp: machine wash cold, inside out, with like colours; do not bleach; tumble dry low or line dry; iron inside out and avoid ironing directly on the print.
Will the colour match exactly what I see on screen?
We try, but screens vary and printing has small natural variation, so slight differences in shade and print placement are normal.
Returns & Refunds
Can I return or exchange my order?
Because items are made to order, we don’t accept change-of-mind or size returns. But if your item is damaged, defective, wrong or missing, you’re fully covered — see our Refund & Return Policy.
My item arrived damaged or wrong — what do I do?
Email info@cockroachmerchandise.com within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos/video. We’ll arrange a free replacement or a full refund, and we cover the return shipping.
How long do refunds take?
Once approved, refunds are processed within 5–7 business days (for COD orders, by bank transfer/UPI to details you provide). Your bank may take a little longer to show it.
Can I cancel my order?
Yes — any time before dispatch. Just email us with your order number for a full refund.
