A good support email works like a good handoff: who it is about, what happened, what you need next. This page gives you the subject line to copy for each kind of request and the short list of facts to put under it. Copy the subject, swap 1234 for your own order number, and write two or three plain sentences. That is the whole ticket.

1. How to send a ticket

  1. Open your own email and start a new message to support@scrubink.shop.
  2. Pick the topic from the table in section 2 and copy its subject line.
  3. Replace 1234 with your order number. It is in your order email. If you have not ordered yet, leave the number out.
  4. Write what happened and what you want us to do, using the list in the third column.
  5. Attach a photo only when the topic asks for one.
  6. Send it once, from the email address you used at checkout if you can.

Writing from the checkout address matters because it lets us match the message to the order without asking you to prove who you are. If you ordered with a work address and are writing from a personal one, say so in the first line and give the name on the order.

If nothing in the table fits, write your own subject in plain words and add the order number at the end. A subject that reads Question about my hoodie – order 1234 is fine. A subject that reads Help or Urgent tells us nothing until we open it.

3. What makes a ticket quick to answer

The order number

It is the fastest way to find you. If several co-workers are on one unit order, only the person who paid has the order email, so ask them for the number before you write. Tell us your own line as well: the name and size on it.

Exact text for print changes

We print exactly what is typed, and a correction is copied the same way. Do not describe the change; type the finished line. Writing “move RN after BSN and take out the dots” leaves room for error. Writing “Sam Rivera, BSN, RN” leaves none. We do not verify credentials, so enter the credentials you hold.

One request per email

A message that asks for one thing gets one clear answer. If you need an address change on one order and a return on another, two short emails with two subject lines are easier for both of us than one long one.

Photos, when they help

For a problem with an item, two photos are enough: one close on the problem, one of the whole item laid flat. Daylight by a window beats the break-room lights. Photos sent with a problem report are deleted 30 days after delivery.

4. What not to send

  • Card numbers, security codes or bank details. We never need them, and email is not the place for them.
  • Passwords. We will never ask for one.
  • Copies of your licence or ID. We do not verify credentials, so we have no use for them.
  • Photos that show more than the item. A photo for a problem report should show the item and nothing else: no faces, no screens, no paperwork in the background. Take it at home, not at the nurses’ station.
  • The item itself, unannounced. Email us to start a return so we can send the right instructions.

5. What happens after you send it

Your email arrives in the support inbox. We read it, find the order and reply to the address you wrote from. We reply within 24 hours on business days. The reply either does what you asked, tells you what happens next, or asks the one question we need answered to go further.

Stay on the same email thread when you answer. A reply inside the thread carries the whole history with it; a fresh message starts from nothing. If you do not see our reply after one business day, look in spam and junk before writing again, especially on a hospital or school mailbox.

Timing for people who work nights

The inbox takes messages at any hour, so write when it suits you. If you clock out, eat and email us at 0300 on your night off, the reply comes within the next business day. A ticket sent on Saturday is answered after the weekend. The 24-hour change window, however, runs from the moment you placed the order, not from the moment we reply, so for a correction send the email first and sleep second.

When the 24 hours have passed

Send the ticket anyway. Tell us the order number and what you hoped to change, and we will tell you where the order stands. If the item is already on its way, the 60-day return window on Returns & Exchanges still applies once it is delivered, and that covers personalised items too.

6. Example tickets

Three short examples, written the way a real one should read. The names are fictional.

A credential fix inside the window

Subject: Fix my credential line – order 1234. Body: I ordered the Stacked Name & Credentials Crewneck forty minutes ago. The credentials read “R.N., B.S.N.” Please change the line to: Jordan Lee, BSN, RN. Everything else is correct.

A new address for a new assignment

Subject: Change shipping address – order 1234. Body: I placed this order last night and used my old apartment. I start a 13-week assignment next week. Please ship to the new address below instead. Then the full address on its own lines, with the postcode and country.

A unit order question before buying

Subject: Unit order question. Body: I am the charge nurse on a Tele unit and I am collecting sizes for Nurses Week. We want the Unit Sign Tee, about 18 lines, sizes S to 5XL, shipping to one address in the US. I understand there is no group discount and no minimum. Can each line carry a different name? The answer to that one is yes: each co-worker’s line has its own name, credentials and size.

A change-of-mind return

Subject: Start a return – order 1234. Body: The Unit Quarter-Zip Pullover arrived last week. Nothing is wrong with it; I ordered XL and it is looser than I want. I would like to return it. Please send the return label. For a change-of-mind return like this one we pay the return postage, and the refund is sent within 7 days of our receiving the parcel.

A gift with a mistake in the name

Subject: Problem with my item – order 1234. Body: I ordered a Name & Credentials Tumbler as a pinning gift for my daughter and had it sent to my own address. It arrived today and the name on it does not match the name in my order email. Two photos are attached, one close and one of the whole tumbler. Her ceremony is in December. With the order number, the photos and the date you are working towards, we have what we need to reply with the next step.

A question from a ward overseas

Subject: Unit order question. Body: I am a nurse on a surgical ward in New Zealand. Eleven of us want the same long sleeve tee. Do you ship here, what does shipping cost, and how long should we allow? The reply to that is short: yes, we ship to New Zealand; shipping is free with no minimum; allow 1-3 business days for making and 7-14 business days in transit. Prices are in USD, and any import duties or taxes depend on the destination country.

7. Tickets we cannot act on

A few requests come in that no reply can grant, and it is fairer to say so here than after you have waited a day. We cannot send a proof or mockup before production; the preview card on the product page fills that role. We cannot apply a group price, because there is no group discount and no minimum. We cannot confirm that an item suits your unit’s dress code; we never say dress-code approved, and that decision sits with your unit. We cannot promise that a parcel will arrive by a named date; we can only give you the ranges and help you count. And we cannot ship to a country outside the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. If your question is close to one of these, write anyway. Often there is a nearby answer, such as which plain colours are offered or how many business days to allow.

8. Check these pages first

Many tickets are answered by a page that already exists. A minute here may save you the wait.
