TERMS & CONDITIONS
SHIPPING
We ship orders as quickly as we can, but we don’t ship on weekends. Most orders ship within 3 days of purchase unless it’s a holiday or we otherwise state on our social media.
We package items carefully so they will arrive to you safe and sound. However, if your items are damaged due to poor packaging we will replace them for you if you email us with your order number and a photo of the damage. On occasion, despite packaging, shipping services can really mangle items in transit. If damage is due to the postal service you can file a claim with the postal service here.
If you provide a wrong shipping address and items are returned, you will have to re-pay shipping costs to re-ship your order. If items are not returned, The Creative GDS is not responsible to replace your items.
Q: Do you ship internationally?
A: No. At this moment I am not able to ship our awesome products outside of the USA.
Q: How long will it take to get my order?
A: It will take approximately 7-10 business days to receive your order.
*During high volume periods your order may need 1 or 2 more days to be processed and shipped.
Q: Can I return or exchange an order?
A: Yes on apparel (while this does not states a final sale on it), however we do not cover any of the duties or taxes for exchanging or returning orders.
No returns or exchanges on pins, decals and buttons. All sales are final.
