Policies
Returns & Refunds Policy
This policy applies to orders placed on the Creative 8 Apparels website. Custom items and unprinted blanks are subject to different rules.
1. Custom Items Are Final Sale
- Team apparel, artwork-printed garments, and other made-to-order / personalized items are not eligible for return, exchange, or refund after sale, except for quality/production errors under Section 3.
- Non-refundable situations include, but are not limited to: wrong size selected, disliking the color or artwork, roster changes, event cancellation, the group store deadline passing, late orders, and disputes between the captain and members.
- Exception: if we email a shipping/pickup delay notice and the order has not yet shipped or been picked up, you may choose cancel order and request a full refund on the tracking page (same as the Shipping Policy). This exception does not apply after shipment or pickup.
- By checking the confirmation box at checkout and completing payment, you agree to these custom final-sale terms.
- Before artwork approval and before production begins: if we have not yet completed artwork approval with you and printing/cutting has not started, you may contact [email protected] to request cancellation of an unproduced custom order; once approved, you will receive a full refund (excluding any non-refundable third-party fees actually incurred, if applicable). After artwork approval or once production begins, final-sale terms apply.
2. Unprinted Blanks Returns
- Unprinted blanks that are unworn, unwashed, unstained, and have all tags attached may be returned within 14 days of delivery.
- Please contact [email protected] with your order number first to obtain return instructions (RMA); unauthorized returns may be refused.
- Buyers are responsible for return shipping; original shipping charges are non-refundable except in cases of our error.
- Refunds are issued to the original payment method after we receive and inspect the items, typically posting within 5–10 business days (depending on your card issuer).
- For orders that also include custom items: only the blanks portion is eligible under this section; the custom portion remains final sale.
3. Quality / Production Errors
- If your order has a printing error on our part, an obvious defect, the wrong style shipped, or does not match the confirmed order, contact customer service within 14 days of delivery to request a reprint or refund.
- Please provide your order number, photos of the items, and packaging details.
- Blurry source files, reasonable color variance, and screen-to-garment differences do not constitute quality errors.
4. Payment Disputes & Chargebacks
- Please work with customer service first to resolve quality or shipping issues; we retain order, communication, and artwork-approval records.
- If you file a dispute with your bank or card network, we may submit evidence and pause fulfillment of the related orders.
- Accounts found to have filed bad-faith disputes may be suspended and future orders refused.
5. Shipping Costs & Contact
- For returns due to the buyer's personal reasons, shipping charges already paid are non-refundable.
- For refunds or reshipments due to our quality errors, customer service will explain how shipping costs are handled.
