    Missed Deliveries /Β Return to Sender

    Sometimes a Carrier can try to deliver when you're not home! And this can add delay's to you receiving your shipment.Β 

    Initially, we would ask that you verify that the following information is correct to see if this could have contributed to this:

    • Verify the shipping address ViaΒ YourΒ Account. (Please make sure your street and anyΒ apt / unitΒ number are correct.)Β 
    • Look for a notice of attempted delivery. (This often has more informationΒ than we have by just looking at your tracking.)Β 
    We really only have the same information provided to us and passed on to you via the carrier and cannot redirect or alter shipments after leaving our hands.
    WeΒ strongly suggestΒ that you try toΒ contact the carrierΒ yourselfΒ to see if you're able to make arrangements to see if you can either rearrange the delivery or pick up the package yourself. I know it's a bit more work, but this could potentially save everyone time in the long run.
    If you're unable to make arrangements with theΒ carrier, we would need to wait until this package is returned to us before we could either reattemptΒ the shipment or offer a refund.Β  For internationalΒ  customers (outside of the USA), this can take up to 2-3 weeks as most carriers aren't quick about returning international goods.

    Once we receive the return of an order/package due to a Missed Delivery / Return to Sender, we will contact the email we have on file for the order with the following options:

    For Domestic orders/packages within the USA:Β We can offer a single reshipment for free once we receive the return of an order/package due to an Missed Delivery / Return to Sender.Β 

    1.) Reshipment of the package with verification of shipping address.Β 

    2.) Or process a return of order minus any shipping fees and applicable restocking fees. (See our return policy above.)

    For International orders/packages outside the USA:Β Once we receive the return of an order/packageΒ  we will contact the email we have on file for the order with the following options:

    1.) Reshipment of the package at the curent shipping price.

    2.) Process a return of order minus any shipping fees and applicable restocking fees. (See our return policy above.)

    We are unable to offer replacement products for any order due to an Missed Delivery / Return to Sender.

    Where Is My Order Shipped From?Β

    Please note that custom orders are always sent to a print factory based off curent work load, and processing times to ensure a timely delivery. We can not guarantee that the print factory will always be within the same country that the order was placed.Β

    Customs Charges:

    In rare circumstances, our international shipments may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and sundry fees leveled by your country. You are responsible for covering these costs. Sorry! If your country tends to apply such charges to items shipped from the AU or from one of our Manufacturing Partners in various countries, there is a good chance your fans may be nabbed by customs for extra fees. We print all the correct pricing and tax information on the exterior of our shipments but are unable to control the arbitrary whims of customs agents worldwide. We make goods, you placate the taxman, and then we'll crush the shackles of artificial borders together, with LOVE!
