Returns & Refunds
Effective date: August 3, 2026
At Graphic Stands, every order is carefully prepared to meet the specifications selected at checkout. Because many of our products are custom printed or made to order, return eligibility depends on the type of product and the reason for the request.
Please inspect all packages and products promptly after delivery.
Custom-Printed and Made-to-Order Products
Custom-printed graphics, personalized products and made-to-order items are produced specifically for your order. These products are considered final sale and cannot be returned, exchanged or refunded because of:
- A change of mind
- An incorrect size, model or option selected by the customer
- Artwork errors approved by the customer
- Spelling, grammar, design or layout errors contained in the submitted artwork
- Event cancellation or a change in event requirements
- Minor colour differences between a screen display and the finished printed product
- Reasonable variations associated with printing, fabric finishing, sewing or product manufacturing
Custom products remain eligible for assistance if they arrive damaged, defective, incomplete or materially different from the approved order.
Standard Unprinted Hardware
Standard, unprinted hardware may be eligible for return when all the following conditions are met:
- The return request is submitted within 14 calendar days of delivery
- The product has not been used, altered or damaged
- All parts, accessories, instructions and carrying cases are included
- The product is returned in its original packaging and in resalable condition
- Graphic Stands has approved the return before it is shipped
Return eligibility is evaluated before authorization. A restocking fee of up to 25% may apply and will be confirmed before the return is approved.
Customers are responsible for return shipping costs for approved non-defective returns.
Products That Cannot Be Returned
The following products and charges are non-returnable or non-refundable unless the product is defective, damaged or incorrect due to an error by Graphic Stands:
- Custom-printed graphics
- Replacement graphics
- Personalized or custom-configured products
- Made-to-order hardware
- Used, assembled, installed or altered products
- Clearance, final-sale or discontinued products

Order Cancellations
Contact us immediately if you need to cancel or modify an order.
An order may be cancelled only if production, order preparation or procurement has not started. Once an order has entered production, been custom printed, been prepared for shipment or been transferred to the carrier, it cannot normally be cancelled or refunded.
For orders requiring artwork approval, approval confirms that the customer has reviewed and accepted the artwork’s content, layout, dimensions and spelling. Once approved artwork enters production, changes and cancellations are no longer possible.
Hardware-only and rush orders may begin processing shortly after the order is placed.
Damaged Deliveries
Please inspect the shipping cartons when your order arrives. If visible damage is present:
- Note the damage on the carrier’s delivery record whenever possible
- Photograph the package before opening it
- Photograph the shipping label, damaged carton, internal packaging and affected products
- Keep all cartons and packaging materials until the claim is resolved
Report visible shipping damage to sales@graphicstands.com within 2 business days of delivery.
Do not discard the product or its packaging and do not ship anything back until you receive instructions from Graphic Stands.
Defective, Incorrect or Incomplete Orders
If your order is defective, contains the wrong product or is missing components, contact us within 5 business days of delivery.
Please include:
- Your order number
- The name of the affected product
- A clear description of the problem
- Photos of the complete product
- Close-up photos or a short video showing the issue
- Photos of the packaging and shipping label, when applicable
These reporting periods help us investigate shipping and production claims promptly. They do not limit any rights available under applicable law.
Artwork and Colour Issues
Customers are responsible for reviewing their submitted artwork and any digital proof provided before production.
Graphic Stands reviews artwork primarily for basic production suitability. This review does not replace customer proofreading and does not guarantee the accuracy of spelling, contact information, dimensions, image quality or design content.
Printed colours may appear different from colours displayed on a monitor because of screen calibration, lighting, materials and the printing process. Minor colour variation is not considered a defect.
If precise brand-colour matching is essential, please contact us before production to discuss colour references or physical proofing options.
How to Request a Return or Resolution
To request assistance, email sales@graphicstands.com with your order number and supporting information.
Do not return a product without prior written authorization. Approved returns will receive return instructions and the correct return address. Products sent without authorization or to an incorrect location may be refused.
Available Resolutions
After reviewing the request, Graphic Stands may provide an appropriate resolution, which may include:
- Replacement parts
- A replacement graphic
- Reprinting the affected product
- Repair or technical assistance
- Exchange
- Store credit
- Partial or full refund
When a verified problem can be corrected with a replacement part or reprint, Graphic Stands will normally provide that solution first. If the problem cannot reasonably be corrected, another resolution may be offered.
Graphic Stands will cover reasonable return or replacement shipping costs when a verified issue was caused by a production error, an incorrect shipment or covered shipping damage.
Approved Returns
Approved returns must:
- Be shipped by the deadline stated in the return authorization
- Include all original components and accessories
- Be securely packed to prevent damage in transit
- Include tracking and adequate shipping protection
- Be sent only to the return address provided by Graphic Stands
The customer is responsible for damage or loss occurring during an independently arranged return shipment.
Refund Processing
Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method after any required returned products have been received and inspected.
Please allow approximately 5–10 business days for Graphic Stands to process an approved refund. Your bank or payment provider may require additional time for the credit to appear.
Return shipping costs, rush charges, design services and other services already completed are not refundable unless the refund results from an error by Graphic Stands or is otherwise required by law.
Legal Rights
This policy does not exclude or limit any mandatory rights or remedies available under applicable consumer protection legislation or other applicable laws.
