Risk of loss transfers to the customer upon delivery to the shipping address provided during checkout.

8. Print-on-Demand Fulfillment

Many products are manufactured and fulfilled by third-party providers, including Printful and other fulfillment partners.

Products are often produced on demand after an order is placed. Slight variations in color, print placement, and manufacturing characteristics may occur and do not constitute defects.

To qualify:

  • A return request must be submitted within 30 days of delivery.
