5. Order and Delivery of Products

Print on demand. Our products are print on demand, this means that each item is made especially for you. You get to pick the design and often the colour scheme. The majority are available exclusively online through this Website.

Products may vary slightly from their picture. The images of the products on our Website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display accurately the colours and images of our products, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colour accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your product may vary slightly from those images.

Making changes to your order. Our products are printed on demand for you and in order to get our products to you as quickly as possible we aim to process orders immediately. This means that it is not possible to make changes once you have placed your order. If you need to make a change relating to delivery, such as the address, contact us before receiving the shipping confirmation email and we will make reasonable efforts to contact our supplier.

Delivery costs: The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our Website before you place your order. Subject to the below provision relating to customs and taxes.

Customs and Taxes: The prices displayed on our Website are tax-free. This means that on some orders, depending on your country, you may be liable to pay import taxes, duties and related customs fees once your order arrives to the final destination. This will be determined by your local customs office (rates, type of goods, and person allowance varies enormously depending on each country). Payment of any such charges and taxes are your responsibility and will not be covered by us. We are not responsible for any delays caused by the customs department in your country. For further details of charges, please contact your local customs office.

When we will provide the products: The products are print on demand and we work with a global team of manufacturers and shipping services. You will be notified once your order has been processed and then again once it has been shipped. Sometimes for logistical reasons items within the same order will be sent separately. The delivery time for orders will vary depending on where you are based but they should arrive within approximately 8 – 12 working days and not less than 30 days. You will be provided with a code once you order which will allow you to track the progress of your order.

Delays: We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If we are aware that our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and take steps to minimize the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for the delays caused by the event.

Delivery: It is your responsibility to track your order and submit necessary requirements to the courier or customs if needed. For example, if you will not be available to receive the package or there is a customs fee payable in your country. We are not responsible if the order is tagged as return to sender or unsuccessful delivery due to inaction on your part, for example you not re-arranging delivery, collecting the package from a depot or not having submitted the necessary requirements or notification to the courier. In this case we may end the contract without any refund or replacement and you may need to place the order again.

Ending the contract with us

Faulty product: If you consider the product is faulty please contact us following the steps in our Return Policy. We may ask you to return it to us. We will then determine whether it is possible to provide you with an exchange or a refund.

Something that we have done or are going to do: You may have a right to a refund if we have suspended supply for technical reasons or have informed you that the products might be significantly delayed. If you consider that any of these circumstances apply please contact us via email.
