Refund policy
# Refund & Return Policy
Dawdle Crew items are made to order — each one is printed after you buy it, specifically for you. Because of that, our policy looks a little different from a typical retail store's.
## Misprints, damage, and wrong items
If your order arrives damaged, misprinted, or isn't what you ordered, we'll replace it at no cost to you. Just email us at [support@dawdlecrew.com](mailto:support@dawdlecrew.com) within 30 days of delivery with:
- Your order number
- A photo of the item showing the issue
- A quick description of what's wrong
We'll get a replacement into production right away. No return shipping required for misprints or damage — keep it, donate it, or toss it.
## Wrong size ordered
Since every item is printed to order, we're not able to offer exchanges for a size you ordered by mistake. We list a full size chart on every product page — please check it before ordering. If a size runs unusually small or large compared to the chart, let us know; that's a defect, not a sizing choice, and we'll make it right.
## No returns on custom items
Because each item is produced specifically for your order, we can't accept returns for "changed my mind" or buyer's remorse. This is standard for made-to-order and print-on-demand products, and it's how we're able to offer specific, local designs (like your run club's city) at a fair price instead of stocking generic inventory.
## How refunds work
Approved refunds go back to your original payment method within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank or card issuer.
## Questions
Reach us any time at [support@dawdlecrew.com](mailto:support@dawdlecrew.com). We read every email ourselves.
