Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
In partnership with Affinity, Huntington has designed a Career Apparel Program to set ourselves apart from the competition by providing a professional image through our clothing and brand. Below are some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for your reference. More FAQs can also be found on the Career Apparel page on Essentials.
ORDERING PROCESS
What is my Username?
Your Username is your Huntington Bank User ID.
What is my password?
Your default password is welcome1. Once you log on, you will be prompted to change your password. If you have forgotten your password, you can use the "Forgot your password?" link to reset your password or you may contact Affinity Customer Service at 866.429.1024 for assistance.
When will my credit/debit card be charged for my order?
Your credit/debit card will be charged for garments when they ship. If a large order was placed using personal funds there could be multiple shipments resulting in multiple, partial charges to your account.
When the order is initially submitted, our system does call out for an authorization before 'accepting' or processing the order. This does have an impact on your credit/debit account in that the authorization diminishes your available credit or ability to purchase by the amount authorized.
This is usually less impactful on a credit account as it simply reduces the available credit however; on a debit card, the authorization shows up as a pending transaction on your checking account, which is commonly misconstrued as the "billing". If the pending transaction drops off before the items actually ship and bill (the pending status timeframe varies from one institution to another but is generally 10-30 days), you may experience a shortfall if you haven't properly accounted for the expenditure.

APPAREL
I need help determining my size. What should I do?
Retail sizing can differ significantly from brand to brand; therefore, Affinity sizing may not be aligned with the brands you currently wear. There is a "Fit Guide" tab on the website to assist you in determining the appropriate size. You may also call an Affinity Customer Service representative for guidance in determining your size; however, the size you order is ultimately your decision.
I have special size needs. Is there a solution for me?
Yes. While the vast majority of colleagues will find an appropriate size within Affinity's size range you can place a special order clicking Special Orders if your requirements fall outside the size range for a particular garment. Alterations to create minor customizations to the fit of your tailored apparel or shirts and blouses can be made through your local tailor. Note: Sweaters and other knitwear products cannot be altered.
Special orders are not returnable or exchangeable, so it is recommended that you consult with your Career Apparel Manager. You will need to provide measurements to Affinity for your order. Special size production requires up to 12 weeks. Please contact Affinity Customer Service at 866-429-1024 for further details.
How will alterations be handled?
If you need any alterations for your new garments, you can take them to your favorite tailor. Keep in mind, any alterations must be consistent with Huntington's Career Apparel Program guidelines. Alterations are a personal expense.
How long will it take to get my order?
All in-stock items will generally ship within 2-5 business days via FedEx Ground from Jeffersonville, Indiana.
Can I trace my shipment?
Yes. Click "My Account" which is located at the top of the home screen once you have logged in and then “View My Order History/Status” Click on the desired Order Number for additional details, such as the shipment tracking number. A link to the Fed Ex website is included so you can view tracking in real-time.
What is the process for a return or exchange?
If you need to return or exchange your Affinity product(s), please follow the instructions below.
If a garment has been soiled, washed, worn or altered in any way or if the tags have been removed, it cannot be returned for exchange or credit. At this time, we are unable to process exchanges. If you need a different size or item, you may place a new order via the online store. If the return is a result of a product defect or quality issue, we will refund the shipping charges on your replacement order.
If the wrong size or incorrect item is ordered, Affinity will exchange the garment if it is returned within 90 days of receipt. The colleague must cover the cost of return shipping.
Defects or Faulty Construction
If the garment has a manufacturer defect such as missing buttons, broken zippers or other faulty construction, Affinity will exchange the garment if it is returned within 90 days of receipt.
Please contact Affinity's Customer Service Department at 866-429-1024. Affinity will pay for return shipping by emailing you a prepaid return label, then quickly repair or replace the damaged merchandise.
