Shipping & Address Changes

🚨
Orders delivered to an incorrect address due to customer error will not be refunded.

  • Customers are responsible for ensuring their shipping address is correct at checkout.

  • Donecia’s Crafts is not responsible for late, lost, stolen, or mishandled packages once they are in the carrier’s possession.
  • If your tracking number shows your package was delivered but you have not received it, you must:

  • Damage caused after delivery, wear and tear, or improper care is not considered defective.

What is considered defective or a damaged Item?

A defective item is defined as an item that arrives with a clear manufacturing error, structural damage, or incorrect production that prevents normal wear or use (for example: torn fabric, broken seams, misaligned construction, or incorrect item sent).

Items are not considered defective due to normal manufacturing characteristics. This includes, but is not limited to, minor variations in embroidery, stitching density, thread visibility, color variation, or placement. These are inherent to the production process and do not impact the quality or functionality of the garment.

Damage caused during shipping must be reported within 3 days of delivery and must include clear photo documentation of the issue and packaging.

Shipping charges are non-refundable unless the item is confirmed to be defective or damaged due to an error on our part.

 

Pre-Orders

Pre-orders allow customers to secure items prior to fulfillment. DC Apparel offers two distinct types of pre-orders based on production method, item value, and customization level. By placing a pre-order, customers acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined below.

1. In-House Pre-Orders (Heat Press / DTF)

In-house pre-orders apply to low-value apparel produced internally using heat press and DTF (Direct-to-Film) application methods. These items typically include basic t-shirts and sweatshirts priced between $15 and $40. Acid wash items are excluded from this category.

In-house pre-orders are fulfilled within approximately 2 to 3 business days, depending on base product availability. Fulfillment timelines may vary based on whether the required garment color and size are currently in stock or need to be sourced from a local wholesaler.

These items are produced on demand and are considered pre-orders even when turnaround times are short.

2. High-Value Pre-Orders (Custom Production)

High-value pre-orders include custom and premium garments such as embroidered sweatshirts, jackets, hoodies, cardigans, sweatpants, and similar items requiring advanced production methods.

These items require extended production timelines due to their complexity, customization, and manufacturing process.

Standard high-value pre-orders require a minimum of 6 to 7 weeks for production.
Homecoming-related high-value pre-orders require a minimum of 7 weeks due to increased demand and production volume.

Production timelines reflect manufacturing time only and do not include shipping or transit time.

Due to current global trade conditions and tariff-related constraints, shipping timelines may be extended. We intentionally plan for broader shipping windows as part of our logistics strategy to avoid passing additional tariff-related costs on to our customers. While this approach may result in longer delivery windows, it allows us to maintain product quality and pricing stability.

Production and shipping timelines are estimates and are not guaranteed. Delays may occur due to manufacturing, material sourcing, customs clearance, or logistics factors. Updates will be communicated via email and official brand channels when applicable.

3. Pre-Order Shipping Policy

Orders containing pre-order items will ship only once all items in the order are available.

Customers who wish to receive in-stock items before a pre-order is completed may request a partial shipment. Additional shipping fees apply and must be paid prior to shipment.

4. Pre-Order Cancellations, Refunds, and Custom Items

Pre-orders are considered custom production and are generally non-refundable. Because pre-order items are produced based on demand, cancellations, refunds, or chargebacks are not guaranteed once an order is placed.

In certain situations, and at our sole discretion, a refund or store credit may be issued depending on the nature of the item, production status, and circumstances surrounding the request. Any such remedy is determined on a case-by-case basis and is not guaranteed.

Homecoming pre-orders and other general release pre-order items are produced for broad customer availability and may be eligible for review in the event of extended delays, as these items can typically be resold.

Customized items, including but not limited to class orders, group orders, organization apparel, and other personalized or made-to-spec items, are considered fully custom. These items are excluded from standard pre-order turnaround estimates, advertised timelines, and delivery expectations listed on our website.

Customized items are final sale and are not eligible for cancellation, refund, or timeline-based remedies once production has begun.
