Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered

We want your holiday shopping experience to be magical! Here are answers to our most common questions.

Returns & Exchanges Policy

What is your return policy?

Because all of our items are custom-made print-on-demand products created specifically for you, we have a Quality Guarantee Policy rather than traditional returns:

✓ We WILL replace or refund if:

Your item arrives damaged or defective
There's a printing error or quality issue with the design
You received the wrong item or size
The item doesn't match the product description

✗ We CANNOT accept returns for:

Size or fit issues (please check our Size Guide carefully before ordering)
Change of mind or buyer's remorse
Color variations due to different screen displays
Items that have been worn, washed, or altered

Why this policy?

Each item is custom-printed just for you when you order, which allows us to offer unique, inclusive designs at great prices. This made-to-order process means we can't resell returned items, so we can only accept returns for quality issues.

How do I report a quality issue?

Your order number
Photos clearly showing the issue
Description of the problem

We'll review your claim within 24-48 hours and arrange a replacement or refund if the issue is covered by our guarantee.

This is crucial since we can't exchange for size! Please:

Check our detailed Size Guide with measurements
Measure yourself or your family member before ordering
Read product reviews for fit feedback
When in doubt, size up for a more relaxed, cozy fit

Shipping & Production

How long will it take to receive my order?

Since each item is custom-made for you:

Production time: 2-7 business days to create your item
Shipping time: 3-7 business days for standard delivery
Total time: Approximately 5-14 business days from order to delivery

Order early for the holidays to ensure timely delivery!

Can I track my order?

Yes! Once your item is produced and shipped, you'll receive a tracking number via email.

Do you offer rush or expedited production?

Production times are set by our print partners, but you can choose expedited shipping at checkout for faster delivery once your item is made.

Do you ship internationally?

Currently, we ship within the United States. International shipping may be available in the future!

Products & Quality

What materials are your items made from?

Our loungewear and pajamas are made from soft, comfortable fabrics including cotton blends and other cozy materials. Specific fabric content is listed on each product page.

How should I care for my items?

To keep your custom-printed items looking great:

Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors
Tumble dry low or hang to dry
Do not bleach or iron directly on the design
Avoid fabric softeners on the first few washes

Will the colors look exactly like the photos?

We do our best to show accurate colors, but slight variations may occur due to different screen displays and the printing process. This is normal for custom-printed items and not considered a defect.

Are your products really inclusive and diverse?

Absolutely! We're committed to offering ethnic inclusive holiday items that celebrate and represent all families. Representation matters to us, and we carefully curate our designs to ensure everyone can see themselves in our products.

Orders & Payment

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and other secure payment methods through our checkout.

Can I modify or cancel my order?

Contact us immediately at theblackstore@gmail.com! Once production begins (usually within 24 hours), we cannot modify or cancel orders since your item is being custom-made.

Do you offer gift wrapping?

Not at this time, but our items arrive beautifully packaged and ready to gift!
