Refund policy
Since products are manufactured and shipped by Customew Limited, returns will be handled by them.
Refund policies and ways to contact them are listed below. You may also contact me directly if you have any questions or concerns.
Article 1: Order & Production
1.1 Production Cycle: The general production range is 5 to 15 business days, counted from the date your order enters production. Orders enter production within 48 hours of ordering. Shipping time is additional. Complex processes or orders containing multiple items may take longer.
Article 2: Shipping & Logistics

2.3 Logistics Stages: The complete fulfillment workflow is divided into four standardized stages:
- Step 1 (Dispatch & Export): After QC and packaging, items are handed over to YunExpress or SF Express to generate a primary tracking number.
- Step 2 (Customs Clearance): Packages arrive at the destination country/region for customs inspection. The recipient is solely responsible for all customs regulations, duties, and import taxes.
- Step 3 (Final Delivery): Upon customs clearance, a destination tracking number is generated for final delivery by local postal services or partner couriers.
Article 3: Mandatory Recipient Information & Customs Tax IDs
3.1 Required Information: To prevent delivery failure, customers must provide full real name, phone number, physical street address, postal code, city, state/province, and country.

Article 4: Tracking Protocols

4.2 Destination Tracking: Generated after destination customs clearance. Used to track final delivery via local post offices or third-party tracking portals (e.g., 17track, parcelsapp).
Article 5: 60-Day After-Sales Support (Refunds & Replacements)
All customers have 60 calendar days from delivery to request after-sales support. If you receive an item with an eligible issue, please contact CustoMew within this period.
Refunds or replacements are available for the following issues, subject to the exclusions in Article 6 and the claim requirements in Article 7:
- 5.1 Quality Defects: Physical malfunction, peeling or cracked prints, or damage or deformation during transit.
- 5.2 Incorrect or Missing Items: The style or size received does not match your order, or items, components, or accessories are missing.
- 5.3 Shipping Problems & Non-Delivery: A package is confirmed lost by YunExpress or SF Express, returned to sender due to a carrier or postal office error, or has had no tracking updates for more than 30 days. For packages that have not been delivered, please contact us when one of these conditions applies.
Article 6: Exclusions & Limitations
Under the following circumstances, standard after-sales services (full refund or free replacement) will NOT be provided in principle:
6.1 Content & Compliance
- Pattern Violations: Production or delivery failure caused by custom content violating laws/regulations (including political propaganda, superstition, pornography, extreme violence, etc.).
- Intellectual Property: Non-delivery, seizure, or recall caused by third-party intellectual property infringement.
6.2 Personal Subjective Preference & User Operational Errors
- Subjective Dissatisfaction: Finished product fully matches order specs and submitted artwork, but refund requested due to personal subjective aesthetic differences or style preferences. (Discounted re-prints may be offered at customer support's discretion).
- Post-Delivery Damage: Damage caused by personal use, drops, or improper installation post-delivery.
- Change of Mind After Production Begins: Cancellation or refund requests based only on a change of mind after production begins are not eligible. This applies whether production starts after your proof approval or automatically because the proof remains unconfirmed 48 hours after the proof email is sent. This does not affect support for eligible quality, order, or shipping issues under Article 5.
6.3 Design & Technical Specifications (Quantified Standards)
- Color Mode & Color Deviation: Screens display RGB light while printing uses CMYK inks. Minor variations within ±10% color saturation/brightness are normal physical tolerances.
6.4 Screen Display & No Online Preview Statement
- Material Characteristics: Different materials (acrylic, metal, wood, fabric) have varying ink absorption and surface gloss. Minor physical texture variations from digital mockups are unavoidable.
6.5 Delivery & Signature Issues
- Recipient Negligence: Return/destruction caused by customer refusing delivery, incorrect/incomplete address, missing tax ID, or carrier unable to contact recipient.
- Stolen Post-Delivery: Package marked 'Delivered' in tracking system but subsequently stolen or missing from doorstep, mailbox, or front desk.
- Estimated Time Limits: Estimated shipping times at checkout are for reference only. Delays due to normal shipping fluctuations, customs, or peak seasons are not grounds for refund.
6.6 Customs & Carrier Restrictions
- Unpaid Duties: Package seized or destroyed due to customer refusing mandatory destination customs duties/taxes.
- Shipping Restrictions: Liquid goods (e.g. inks) and aviation contraband are strictly prohibited. Interception caused by ordering contraband forfeits refund eligibility.

7.2 Official Contact Channels: Submit via Official Email (support@customew.com), Live Chat, or Discord (#ticket-channel).
