PKCD is committed to providing our clients with the very best experience possible. We have many checkpoints in place to ensure that your design is exactly the way you imagined it, or maybe even better. We carefully give every last detail our complete attention and we seek your approval at many points throughout the process. However, sometimes mistakes do happen, colors vary a little too much, a design prints off center or crooked, or an item gets damaged or is not of the quality we expected it to be. In the custom design print on demand world No refunds No returns is pretty standard practice. But we do not wish to be standard when it comes to our customer service. That is why we partner with print providers that have fair return policy if they make a mistake or if something just doesn't come out right. And if for some reason your unhappy with the finished project for a reason not covered by the printer, we promise to work with you to get it right and make your custom designed product even better than you expected. When a print service provider is chosen to produce your finished product(s) we will provide you with a detailed breakdown of their return policy. If for some reason you need to return or exchange an item we will handle all the communications and arrangements with the provider and make sure that your case is handled with the same level of superior service we base our business on. In the event that your return or exchange does not comply with the provider's policy, that is when our House Return Policy will come into effect. Just like every other facet of our design process we offer a 100% customizable return and exchange policy, handled on a case to case basis so that you are 100% delighted with your purchase and your PingKarma experience. With that being said there are a few guidelines that although flexible are very important for us as a company to have in place. 

 

Please keep in mind that the print provider's policy is always the policy in effect, and their guidelines and parameters for client, designer, and client responsibilities are the policies that will be outlined in your design and payment agreement and that would serve as the legal contractual agreement referenced and recognized in a United States court of law.  Therefore, the print provider's return and exchange policy always overrides the policy of PingKarma Custom Designs, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE TIME ALLOTTED FOR THE CLIENT TO SUBMIT A REQUEST FOR PRODUCT REVIEW FOR RETURN OR EXCHANGE.  Because we work with multiple providers, each with their own set of return policy guidelines and time limitations, PingKarma Customs must request to be notified of ANY issues with ANY custom design  product WITHIN 5 DAYS OF CLIENT RECEIVING THE SHIPMENT. With the exception of quality issues, which may not be evident until a product is put into use, in which case the Review Request Time will be 21 DAYS FROM THE CLIENT RECEIVING THE PRODUCT,( see PRODUCT QUALITY ISSUES below for more information) all design issues, wrong product, size, coloring, spelling, damaged, and misprint issues with a final product must be submitted to PingKarma Custom Designs within 5 days of receipt to ensure that we have time to evaluate the request and in turn submit a request to the print provider. Our current print provider request limits range from 7-35 days. If PKCD works through the return exchange process of the provider and a  satisfactory resolution cannot be obtained  we will then enact our house policy- and through non formal negotiation with you(the client)  reach a mutually agreeable solution. In the event that our policy is needed to resolve a return or exchange issue we ask that you respectfully abide by the following guidelines:

Maybe I bump you up on the referral program, give you store credit, or offer you a nice discount. No matter what, no matter how minor if your item isn't perfect-I want to work with you to make your experience delightful.
