Returns
Return & Refund Policy
Custom merchandise is made to order, so it works differently from retail returns. Here is exactly what Merchwell covers, how to report a problem, and how quickly we fix it.
Last updated: September 8, 2026
Custom items are made to order
Everything we decorate is produced for you, with your logo, after you approve a mockup. Because a decorated item cannot be resold, custom orders are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged for reasons such as a change of mind, a change in headcount, or a preference for a different color or size after production has started.
What we make right, at no cost to you
If something is wrong with your order, we fix it. Tell us within 7 days of delivery and we will replace, reprint, or credit the affected pieces.
Decoration that does not match the mockup you approved (wrong logo, placement, size, or thread or ink color).
Manufacturing defects in the product itself, such as broken zippers, failed seams, or leaking drinkware.
Items damaged in transit.
Wrong item, wrong quantity, or a missing part of your order.
How to report a problem
Email hello@merchwell.com or reply to your order confirmation within 7 days of delivery.
Include your order number, a short description, and photos of the issue and the packaging.
Keep the affected items until we confirm next steps. We will send a prepaid label if we need anything back.
We respond within one business day and confirm the remedy, replacement timing, or credit in writing.
Replacements, credits, and refunds
Our first remedy is a replacement or reprint of the affected pieces, produced on a rush basis where possible.
When a replacement is not practical, we issue a credit or refund for the affected pieces to the original payment method.
Refunds post within 5 to 10 business days of approval, depending on your bank or card issuer.
Normal production variation, such as slight differences in embroidery density, print shade, or garment dye lot within industry tolerances, is not a defect.
Blank, undecorated items
Undecorated items may be returned within 14 days of delivery if they are unused, unwashed, and in original packaging. Return shipping is the customer's responsibility and a restocking fee may apply for opened cartons. Contact us before sending anything back so we can issue a return authorization.
Cancellations and changes
You can cancel or change an order at no charge any time before you approve the mockup and we release it to production.
After production starts, cancellation is not possible for decorated items. Blank product that has not shipped may be cancelled less any costs already incurred.
Approving a mockup confirms spelling, artwork, colors, sizes, and quantities. Errors that match an approved mockup are not covered, but we will always quote a reprint at cost.
Storage, kits, and drop shipments
For orders held in Merchwell storage or shipped to individual recipients, the same coverage applies. Report an issue within 7 days of the recipient's delivery date and we will replace or credit the affected pieces.
