Emails are answered during business hours (Monday – Friday 9.00am – 5.00pm CST) in the order they are received. It is therefore possible that your order could begin production before your email is processed and we will be unable to make any changes requested in the email for which you must assume responsibility.
- Returns and refunds.
At Start Up Decorator, we always aim to send your products in perfect condition, however, very rarely, it is possible for a problem to arise. In the unlikely event that a product is received faulty, damaged in transit, or the wrong item was sent, you should contact us straight away to let us know of the problem. We will then advise you on whether you are eligible for a replacement or refund.
We have different rules for returns of (a) personalised products, and (b) non-personalised products – see “Returning products and issuing refunds” below.
7.1. Reporting a problem'
If for any reason you are not happy with your Start Up Decorator order, please contact our Customer Service Team on 1-800-373-2127, or use our contact form. You will need to quote your order number, the email address you have registered and the details of the problem with the order.
We aim to acknowledge any complaint within 1 working day and will do our best to resolve it within 5 days. We may ask you to take a photograph of the product to help us communicate with our suppliers and correct any future problems. Should it be necessary, we will then advise you how to return your item.
Please note: You should contact us within 3 days of receipt of the product if there is a manufacturing or imaging fault. We will, at our discretion consider issues raised after three days but reserve the right to refuse a refund or replacement.
7.2. Returning products and issuing refunds
Personalized products
Where an item is faulty, we will ask you to return it to us within three days of receipt. You can contact our Customer Service Team for our returns address. Your right to return items to us in accordance with these Terms is in addition to any other statutory rights you may have. If you are eligible for a refund, we will reimburse the price you have paid for the product(s) via the payment method you originally paid with. Alternatively, we may offer to reprint (if applicable) and resend the item free of charge. Please note it is not our policy to offer both a refund and a reprint.
Refunds cannot be given if the fault is a result of your own actions such as product misuse, or if any personalization is misspelt, or if you have uploaded an image of a low resolution or size. Please see section 3.3, ‘Personalizing products’, for more information.
Non-personalized products
You have the right to cancel your contract for the purchase of a non-personalized product please see section 6. You must return the unused non-personalized product to us within 14 days of notifying us of the cancellation and must pay the cost of returning the product to our nominated address. We will refund the purchase price you have paid for the product and its standard delivery charges (but not any expedited, tracked or other special delivery charges you may have chosen to pay) within 14 days of its return. However, if the value of the product has been reduced by any handling of it beyond what is necessary to check whether the product is as expected, we may deduct an amount to reflect that reduction in value from the sum we refund to you. Note that the value of a product may be reduced to nothing if its seal (or similar) is broken. Please follow any returns procedure for non-personalised products which we specify from time to time.
