Return & Refund Policy

Last Updated: May 30, 2026 · Applies to orders placed on storiginator.com

01 Overview

Thank you for shopping with Storiginator. This policy explains our procedures for cancellations, returns, exchanges, and refunds.

We are committed to resolving legitimate quality issues fairly and efficiently. If there is a problem with your order, please contact us before initiating a payment dispute. Most issues can be resolved through replacement, reshipment, or refund where appropriate.

Because we offer both blank apparel and custom printed products, return eligibility may vary depending on the type of product purchased.

Orders may be canceled within 2 hours of placement. Once production or fulfillment has begun, cancellation requests cannot be guaranteed.

For custom printed and personalized products, each item is produced specifically for the individual order and cannot be restocked or resold. We do not accept returns or exchanges based on buyer's remorse, change of mind, or incorrect selections made during checkout, except where required by applicable law.

02 Blank Apparel Return Eligibility

  • Blank apparel that has not been customized or printed may be eligible for return review if the request is submitted within 7 calendar days of the delivery date shown in tracking.
  • The item must be unused, unwashed, undamaged, free from stains, odors, or wear, and returned with original packaging and tags where applicable.
  • For non-quality-related blank apparel returns, the buyer is responsible for return shipping costs unless required otherwise by applicable law.
  • Original shipping fees are non-refundable unless the return is caused by our error, a verified quality defect, a wrong item, or a confirmed lost shipment.
  • Return authorization is required before sending anything back. Do not ship items back before receiving instructions from customer service.

03 Non-Eligible Return and Exchange Situations

Situation Explanation
Change of mind Custom printed items are produced exclusively for your order and cannot be resold or reassigned.
Incorrect size selected Size selection is the buyer's responsibility. A variance of approximately ±1 inch, or about 2.54 cm, is within normal textile manufacturing tolerance and is not a defect.
Reasonable color variation Colors may appear differently on screens and printed products. Minor RGB-to-CMYK variation is normal. Severe color errors may qualify as a quality defect.
Low-resolution uploaded artwork If a customer uploads artwork below 300 DPI or dismisses resolution warnings, resulting blurriness is the buyer's responsibility.
Copyright issues with uploaded artwork Buyers are solely responsible for ensuring they have the legal right to use uploaded artwork.
Failed delivery due to buyer error Incorrect address, delivery refusal, or failure to collect a package may make the order ineligible for refund. Reshipping may require reproduction and redelivery costs.
Late claim Return and exchange requests must be submitted within 7 calendar days of the delivery date shown in tracking information.
