ACCEPTED PAYMENT METHODS:

CAN I PAY WITH AN E-CHECK?
I highly recommend that you DO NOT use an E-Check as a payment method. PayPal has denied previous attempts.  But if you choose to pay with an E-Check, please note that PayPal has a 1-2 week pending processing period.  I WILL NOT process or ship your order until payment has cleared.  

*NOTE: You do not need a PayPal account; it will allow you to use your credit/debit card to pay.
* Processing of all orders will not begin until payment confirmation is confirmed.

I WILL NOT ship any items without payment first.

Returns must be made within one week of delivery and an email notice MUST be sent to me. 
  1. Items MUST be returned in original mailing envelope with all packaging and in unused and or undamaged condition for a partial refund. 
    1. For US orders original mailing envelope = White cardboard envelope or USPS Flat Rate cardboard envelope

Refunds are for purchase price ONLY, not including shipping. The buyer is responsible for all shipping costs.

DAMAGED IN SHIPPING
If you receive an item that has been damaged in shipping, please contact me as soon as possible.  Please CONTACT me with:
1. your name, order number
2. a photo of the damaged item [no photo will void any refund]

Email must be sent WITHIN 3 BUSINESS DAYS of the date you first received it for a partial refund. [Partial refund will only be from purchase price, not including shipping cost.] 

SIZE/COLOR/PATTERN EXCHANGES
Because I list the size dimensions & provide photos of my product(s) in my listings I WILL NOT EXCHANGE or REFUND any items for a different size, color, or pattern.

* If you are needing a different size, color, or pattern YOU must contact me prior to placing an order: CONTACT HERE

SHIPPING REFUND
There will be non-reimbursement for regular shipping, including failure of USPS delivering on time or losing the package.

EXPRESS UPGRADE REFUND
If USPS fails to deliver on time I will only give a partial refund for the Express fee.  

  EXAMPLE: US Express $18 - US Regular ship $4 = $14  
              [ REFUND AMOUNT: $14 ]

Why don't I get a full refund?
Though your order did not make the "Express" ship time, but the "regular" ship time; your order did ship and was delivered.  Therefore a "regular" ship fee is still due.

Shipping Policy

​UPDATE [6-23-14]:  All orders will be shipped to the address that is on the order invoice.  I do not do "meet-up" deliveries.
     ============================================
**THE BUYER MUST ENSURE THAT THEIR SHIPPING ADDRESS IS CORRECT.  I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE/REFUND ANY LOST/DELAYED MAIL DUE TO INCORRECT ADDRESSES!
            ...............................................................................................................
ALL orders are processed in the order that they are receive & as quickly as possible.  IE:

1.     If you need your order sooner please opt in for the  “EXPRESS SHIPPING UPGRADE” during checkout.
2.    Any requests to process & or ship a “non-Express” order faster will be denied.
3.    All orders will be shipped no later than the "shipping time frame"(found in the top section of any listing) unless I reschedule your “ship by date” (in which you will be notified via the email you provided during checout).

SHIPPING & HANDLING 
I want all of my customers to receive their orders intact upon arrival.  As such I put a lot of care into every order.

♥ I use semi-thick cardboard envelopes to encase your order instead of a simple paper envelope; that, in my opinion, can be easily damaged or lost.
♥ All orders are placed in a small to large plastic bag for added protection within the envelope.
♥ All shipping fees are made to match USPS' & Royal Mail's 2017 rate increase.

It is best for the buyer to:
1.    Please place order/s in plenty of time to avoid any delays if shipment takes longer than expected.
2.    After your order has been shipped:
  • USA orders will receive a tracking number, via email, so you may track your order’s delivery status.
  • UK orders will be required to sign for their packages. (If a tracking number is available it will be sent via email.)
  • International orders will receive a tracking number, via email, to track your order's delivery status.​

* OBSERVED HOLIDAYS
Orders are shipped during Business days (Monday - Friday); excluding observed holidays.

Observed holidays by postal carrier, in which they are closed, do not count in estimated delivery timeframe. IE: Your order will be delayed.  
  • It is highly advised to place your order well in advance to avoid such delays due to postal carrier closure.
  • As I am not in control of such delays please refer to my Return Policy for any concerns..
​
​CUSTOMS FEES/VAT/ADDITIONAL FEES
My shipping fee is solely for/covers shipping your order to you. I will not reimburse you for any customs, VAT, or additional fees that your country may apply to your purchase.

EXPRESS UPGRADE 
If you need your order sooner than opt in for the "Express Upgrade" during checkout.  Tracking numbers are included for all orders.

♥ Orders will ship via USPS Express Mail or Royal Mail Express 48​.
♥ All Express fees are made to match USPS' & Royal Mail's 2017 rate increase.
♥ DISCLAIMER ♥
As a tracking number/customs number is emailed to you, the buyer, Cosplay Ink Factory is not responsible for tracking & ensuring delivery of your package once it has been shipped.  Nor am I responsible for delay, losses, etc.  All inquires for delayed, lost, etc orders must be made directly with the shipping carrier, USPS or Royal Mail.

ONLY AFTER the shipping carrier notifies the buyer that they can not account for the delayed, lost, etc. order will you be eligible for a refund.  Please check my "Return Policy" within my Shop Policies.
