If you’re in the United States, you can also opt-in to or opt-out of SMS marketing updates during checkout. While checking out, simply add your phone number, if you haven’t already, then select the checkbox next to Text me about deals and promotions. This checks the box, opting you into receiving marketing text messages. If you have already opted in, it unchecks the box, opting you out.

Reply to SMS marketing texts with STOP to opt-out.

Please note—if you turn off all notifications for order updates, you won’t get any alerts about the status of your order, including replacements and refunds.
