REPRINT AND REFUND POLICY
1. Order Cancellation
We cannot make any cancellations for any orders after your order has reached production. This is due to the nature of creating customized products that are created by our vendors once it has reached this step in the process. Our vendors typically begin production of your item within 12 hours of your order being submitted and we cannot guarantee that the manufacturer will see our request to cancel or change the address.
2. Address Change
We use a third party vendor for verifying your address. If you have an order with an order status that is stuck with an Address Issue and if you have not made any changes within 3 days from the order submission date, your order will be canceled. Please be sure to make any address changes within 3 days or before your order is sent to production.

Our substitution policy increases the overall order workflow to ensure your orders are fulfilled.
If your order has a product out of stock, we will automatically substitute like-for-like products on your behalf from our existing substitution list.

If we cannot find an adequate substitute where the color/size match is equal or of greater quality for an out-of-stock product, we will substitute it with a different product of the same color and size from the substitution list.
Please note that:
- If there are no substitution garments, The order will be canceled and refunded. You will be notified if this occurs.
- This policy applies to mostly apparel products, but this also applies to non-apparel products as long as we can find a like-for-like product that matches.
- There is no action required for customers to approve the substitution, our team will automatically authorize all substitutions for you.
- If one of my customers received a substitution product and wants a refund/replacement, we do NOT offer refunds or replacements for substitution products as long as the new substituted products meet our color-match and quality criteria. We recommend that you let your customers know that underlying products received may have variance during periods of high order volume (holiday peak season).
