Claim Time Limits

For an eligible claim relating to a delivered product, contact our Support Team within 30 days from the delivery date. This is a claim window and does not create an unconditional right to return a correctly made product.

If a package was never marked as delivered and appears lost, contact us within 30 days after the latest estimated delivery date.

After we receive the claim and all required evidence, we will email an approval or rejection decision within 2 business days. If information is missing, the review period begins after the requested information is received.

Order Cancellations & Modifications

You may cancel an order for a full refund by contacting us within 24 hours of placing the order. A valid cancellation request submitted within this period will be honored even if production has already started.

Requests to change the size, color, design, or product selection must also be submitted within 24 hours of ordering. Address-change requests must be submitted within 48 hours of ordering. We will make a reasonable effort to update an address if the order has not been dispatched, but a change cannot be guaranteed after the order enters production, fulfillment, shipping preparation, or carrier possession.

After the first 24 hours, a correctly made product does not qualify for a free full refund solely because the customer changed their mind, no longer needs the product, prefers another item, dislikes the style, or dislikes the correctly selected color or fit. Depending on the circumstances, we may offer store credit or a 50% discount code toward a new order.

To request a cancellation or modification, please contact us as soon as possible at support@tartanvibesclothing.com with your order number and the requested change.

Eligible Product Claims

  • Incorrect item: We sent a product, design, color, or size that does not match the order confirmation.
  • Missing item: One or more products are missing from a delivered package.
  • Defective or poor-quality item: The product has a verified manufacturing defect, material damage, or materially poor print quality.
  • Shipping damage: The package or product was damaged during delivery.
  • Materially not as described: The product is substantially different from its confirmed description or is unusable.
  • Personalization error caused by us: The finished personalization does not match the information submitted and confirmed with the order.
  • Confirmed lost order: The carrier confirms that a package was lost before delivery.
Most verified claims do not require a physical return. Depending on the cause and severity of the issue, the primary resolution may be a free replacement, full refund, partial refund, store credit, or discount code. One primary resolution applies to each issue unless we confirm otherwise in writing.

Claims and Returns We Cannot Accept

  • Requests submitted after the applicable claim period.
  • Correctly made products subject only to a post-24-hour change of mind or personal preference.
  • Products made in the size, color, design, or personalization submitted by the customer, except for the specific replacement or discount options stated below.
  • Items that have been washed, altered, used beyond a brief fit check, or damaged after delivery through misuse, improper handling, or failure to follow care instructions.
  • Minor color or design-placement variations that fall within normal production tolerances.
  • Unauthorized returns or products sent to an address that we did not confirm in writing.
  • Gift cards.
  • Sale, discounted, clearance, or final-sale products, unless they arrive defective, damaged, incorrect, materially not as described, or are protected by a mandatory legal right.
A tracking status of "Delivered" does not automatically qualify an order for a refund or replacement. If you cannot locate a delivered package, first check with household members, neighbors, reception, safe delivery locations, the local carrier, and any delivery photo or note. Contact us promptly if the package remains missing.

How to Request a Return, Replacement, or Refund

  1. Contact Support: Submit our Return Form or email support@tartanvibesclothing.com within the applicable claim period.
  2. Provide the required information: Include your order number, full name, order email address, and a clear description of the issue.
  3. Provide evidence: Include one clear photograph showing the full product and a close-up showing the affected area. For missing items or shipping damage, include photos of the package and all contents where available. A shipping-label photo is helpful for wrong-item or shipping-damage claims but is not required for a manufacturing or print-quality claim.
  4. Provide measurements when needed: If you believe we sent a garment with incorrect measurements, lay it flat and photograph the chest width and garment length beside a measuring tape or ruler.
  5. Claim review: After receiving all required information, we will email our approval or rejection decision within 2 business days.
  6. Follow the approved resolution: We will confirm whether the issue will be resolved through a replacement, refund, partial refund, store credit, discount code, or an authorized physical return.
Do not send any product back before receiving written Return Authorization and the confirmed return address. Unauthorized returns may not be processed.

Physical Return Process & Costs

A physical return is required only when we determine that it is reasonably necessary. If required, we will provide written approval, a Return Authorization number or equivalent authorization, return instructions, and the correct return address.

The authorized product must generally be unworn except for a brief fit check, unwashed, unaltered, free from stains or odors, and returned with its original tags and packaging where reasonably available.

  1. Pack the product securely and include the order number and Return Authorization information.
  2. Use a trackable shipping service and retain the shipping receipt.
  3. Email the tracking number to support@tartanvibesclothing.com.
Return shipping: We cover authorized return shipping when the return is required because of our verified error, defect, or shipping damage. For an approved goodwill return, the customer is responsible for return shipping and applicable carrier or customs charges. No restocking fee is charged for an approved return.

Refund Timeline

After an eligible return or photo-based claim is approved, Tartan Vibes Clothing will process the refund to the original payment method within 3–5 business days.

If a physical return is required, the 3–5-business-day processing period begins after the authorized return is received and inspected.

After we process the refund, the estimated time for funds to appear is:

  • PayPal: 3–5 business days.
  • Credit or debit card: 10–15 business days.
The time for funds to appear is controlled by the payment provider, bank, or card issuer and is separate from our processing period. Original shipping charges are normally non-refundable, but applicable standard shipping may be refunded for a verified defect, shipping damage, incorrect product, confirmed lost package, or another verified error caused by us. Duties, taxes, customs fees, brokerage fees, and third-party carrier charges are normally non-refundable.

Exchanges & Replacements

Our error: If we send the wrong product, design, color, or size, or the item has a verified major defect, you may receive a free replacement or a full refund for the affected product.

Customer selected the wrong size: We offer a one-time wrong-size replacement for each affected product. The customer pays a fixed charge of $15 USD per replacement product, covering one remake and standard replacement shipping. The original product does not need to be returned.

Customer submitted incorrect personalization: If the product was made correctly using the information submitted with the order, it does not qualify for a free replacement or full refund. We may provide a 50% discount code toward a corrected replacement order.

Post-24-hour change of mind: A correctly made product is not eligible for a free full refund solely due to preference. We may provide store credit or a 50% discount code toward another order. A physical return is not normally required for these resolutions.

EU Right of Withdrawal & UK Customers

EU Right of Withdrawal (14-Day Cooling-Off Period)

If you are a consumer located in the European Union (EU), you may have a statutory right to withdraw from certain purchases within 14 days of receiving the goods, subject to applicable conditions and exceptions.

To submit a withdrawal request, please use our dedicated withdrawal page before the applicable 14-day period expires:

→ Submit Your EU Withdrawal Request
  • We will send you a confirmation of your withdrawal request by email without undue delay.
  • You must return the goods to us without undue delay and no later than 14 days after notifying us of your withdrawal.
  • You are responsible for the direct cost of returning the goods unless otherwise agreed.
  • Where applicable, reimbursement will be handled within the statutory period. We may withhold reimbursement until we receive the goods or evidence that they were sent back, as permitted by law.

Exemptions for Custom & Personalised Items

The 14-day withdrawal right may not apply to products made to your specifications or clearly personalized, including qualifying personalized and custom-made products. This exemption does not remove your rights if a product arrives defective, damaged, incorrect, or materially not as described.

UK Customers

If you are located in the United Kingdom, you may have similar cancellation or return rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. The same exemptions for personalised and made-to-order goods apply. Please contact us at support@tartanvibesclothing.com with your order number if you wish to exercise a statutory consumer right.

Nothing in this policy limits a mandatory consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded. If you believe a statutory right applies, contact us before returning the product.

FAQ

Return Questions

How long do I have to report a product problem?

Contact us within 30 days from the delivery date. For a package that was never marked as delivered, report the issue within 30 days after the latest estimated delivery date.

Do you offer no-need-to-return refunds?

For many verified claims, yes. If the issue can be verified through clear photos and order details, we may provide a replacement, refund, partial refund, store credit, or discount code without requiring a physical return.

How long does a refund take?

We process an approved refund within 3–5 business days. After processing, PayPal funds typically appear within 3–5 business days, while credit or debit card refunds may take 10–15 business days. If a physical return is required, processing begins after the return is received and inspected.

What if I selected the wrong size?

You may request a one-time wrong-size replacement for $15 USD per affected product. This covers one remake and standard replacement shipping, and you do not need to return the original product.

Who pays for return shipping?

We cover authorized return shipping if a physical return is required because of our verified error, a defect, or shipping damage. The customer pays return shipping for an approved goodwill return.

Are sale items eligible?

Sale, discounted, clearance, and final-sale items are generally not eligible for return unless they arrive defective, damaged, incorrect, or otherwise required by applicable law.

Can I cancel or change my order?

You may cancel for a full refund or request a size, color, or design change within 24 hours of ordering. Address-change requests must be submitted within 48 hours, although a change cannot be guaranteed after fulfillment or shipping has begun.

Are custom-made items returnable?

Correctly made personalized, custom-made, print-on-demand, and made-to-order items are generally not eligible for a free change-of-mind return. They remain covered if they arrive defective, damaged, incorrect, materially not as described, or incorrectly personalized because of our error.

I am an EU customer — how do I exercise my right of withdrawal?

EU consumers may have a statutory right to withdraw from certain purchases within 14 days of receiving the goods. Use our EU Withdrawal Form before the applicable period expires. Products made to the customer’s specifications or clearly personalized may be exempt.
