Refund policy
12 Strikes Apparel Refund Policy
1. Our Commitment to Custom Quality
At 12 Strikes Apparel, every T-shirt is custom-printed using the Direct-to-Film (DTF) process immediately following your order. Because each item is unique and made-to-order, we have a strict "All Sales Are Final" policy. We encourage all customers to read the product description, review the size chart, and confirm their order carefully before completing the purchase.
2. Non-Refundable Items and Situations
We do not offer refunds, returns, or exchanges for the following reasons:
-
Sizing Issues: The customer ordered the wrong size. Size charts are provided on every product page and must be consulted prior to purchase.
-
Buyer's Remorse: The customer simply changed their mind or no longer wants the item.
-
Color Discrepancy: Slight variations in color between the digital image on your screen and the final printed product (due to monitor settings or DTF process variance) are not eligible for refund.
-
Customer Damage: The print or garment was damaged due to improper care (e.g., washing in warm/hot water, ironing the print, or tumble drying on high heat).
-
Shipping Delays: Once the item is with the carrier (as per our Terms of Service), shipping delays are outside of our control and do not qualify for a refund.
3. Eligibility for Refund or Replacement (Business Error)
We only accept returns or provide replacements/refunds for errors made directly by 12 Strikes Apparel. If your product meets any of the criteria below, please contact us immediately:
| Error Type | Action Required |
| Manufacturing Defect | The garment arrived with a verifiable fault (hole, tear, or significant seam defect). |
| Incorrect Item Sent | You received a shirt design, size, or color garment that does not match your order confirmation. |
| Print Error | The DTF print is noticeably misaligned, peeling upon arrival, or has a clear and significant printing error. |
4. How to Report an Eligible Error
If you believe your order qualifies for a refund or replacement under Section 3, you must follow these steps:
-
Report Immediately: Contact us via the contact link on our website within 7 calendar days of the delivery date (as confirmed by the tracking number).
-
Provide Evidence: You must include your Order Number and attach clear, high-resolution photographs of the defective item and the packaging/label showing the size tag.
-
Resolution: If we verify the error is on our side, we will typically issue a replacement or a refund to your original payment method. We generally do not require the faulty item to be shipped back, which saves both time and cost.
