Returns & Refunds
Returns & Refunds Policy:
Last Updated: 04/11/2026
At Storybook Darlings, every item is made just for you. Because of this, our return policy is a little different from traditional retail.
1. Made-to-Order Items
All items are made-to-order through our print-on-demand partner. This means:
- Items are not pre-stocked
- Orders go into production shortly after being placed
- We are unable to accept most traditional returns
2. Returns & Exchanges (Limited Eligibility)
We do offer returns and exchanges in select situations, outlined below.
Eligible for Return or Exchange:
- Items that arrive damaged
- Items that are defective
- Items that are incorrect (wrong item sent)
Eligible for Exchange (Case-by-Case):
We may offer exchanges for:
- Sizing issues (if unworn/unused and approved)
- Order concerns where a resolution is reasonable
Exchanges are not guaranteed and are reviewed on a case-by-case basis due to the custom nature of our products.
3. Return & Exchange Requirements
To qualify for a return or exchange:
- You must contact us within [7–14 days] of delivery
- Item must be unused, unworn, and in original condition (for exchanges)
- You must provide:
- Order number
- Clear photos (if damaged/incorrect)
If approved:
- Customers may be responsible for return shipping costs
- A replacement or store credit will be issued once the item is reviewed
4. Non-Returnable Items
We do not accept returns or offer refunds for:
- Buyer’s remorse / change of mind
- Incorrect size ordered (without prior approval for exchange)
- Minor print variations (color, placement, sizing)
- Custom or personalized items
5. Production & Print Variations
Because each item is custom printed:
- Slight variations in color, placement, and sizing may occur
- These are normal and not considered defects
6. Shipping Issues
We are not responsible for:
- Lost or stolen packages marked as delivered
- Shipping carrier delays
- Incorrect shipping addresses entered at checkout
7. Order Changes & Cancellations
Because orders are processed quickly:
- Orders cannot be changed or canceled once submitted
- Please double-check all details before placing your order
8. Chargebacks & Disputes
By placing an order, you agree to this Return Policy.
If a chargeback is initiated without contacting us first:
- We reserve the right to dispute the claim with:
- Delivery confirmation
- Proof of fulfillment
- This Return Policy
We are always happy to work with you directly to resolve issues.
