+ Why can't I reach a live person by phone?

Custom Your Ink: Currently, we offer support via email, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit and our live chat widget on our Site. All our support channels are manned by real human being who are more than happy to help you with whatever questions or concerns you have.

In the future, we strive to transition away from phone support in order to provide the best service we can for our customers. We made the leap because it's just not an efficient way for us to help people. However, resolving an issue over the phone takes a lot longer than it does to resolve the same issue via chat or email. With keeping these matters on email or the like, we will accurately record what's been discussed already so you do not have to repeat yourself.

If you have tried checking out more than two times, your credit card company may have blocked you from checking out on our Site and you may need to call them to verify the change. if you get an error message due to an incorrect billing post code any charges on your card will automatically drop off after a few days as the order has not processed correctly on our end.

If you've tried all of the above to no avail, please reach out to us via the Contact Us page or send us an email to support@customurink.com, message one of our live chat agents. We'll be happy to try placing a manual order for you.

+ My Paypal address is not up to date. Did my shipping address get changed at checkout?

Custom Your Ink: Although the address on your order should be the address you entered at checkout, it is possible that the address was pulled from Paypal system instead. If you have any inkling that this has happened or you just want to double-check and make sure, please feel free reach out to us via the Contact Us page.

Custom Your Ink: Once your order goes into production the moment it is placed, your card or Paypal account is charged the moment you confirm your order at checkout. You will receive a confirmation email when your order is submitted. If you notice any confusing charges on your end, such as duplicates, please feel free reach out to us via Contact Us page with any questions.

+ Why am I being charged taxes at checkout?

Custom Your Ink: If you are located near a third-party fulfiller, or are requesting delivery in areas where law dictates taxes be charged prior to purchase, you will be charged taxes. All taxes collected at checkout go to the government, not us (!), so unfortunately we are unable to refund these charges for you.

If you live in a US state with a fulfillment center or the law dictates we charge taxes for online purchases (*), you'll see that charge prior to payment at checkout. In Europe, you'll notice a VAT charge appearing in the total before payment as well.

As of July 1st 2018, we have begun charging Australia's 10% GST ( Goods and Services Tax) to all orders shipping to Australia.

(*) The following states will be taxed at checkout (the tax rate is different in each state, and within each state, it varies by county, city and district.)(36 states): Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.

+ Why am I charged customs duties or fees upon delivery?

Custom Your Ink: If you're located in the United Kingdom or the European Union and your order comes from a European third party fulfiller, you shouldn't be charged customs duties or fees upon delivery. For exact laws regarding any charges you might incur, we do recommend consulting your country's border agency for guidance.

Unfortunately, if your order is shipping internationally from a third party fulfiller based in the United States, it may be subject to customs duties/fees as this is a necessary evil of international trade. We wish there were a way around them and we understand the frustration in paying them! We recommend checking with your local laws regarding any taxes or fees you may have to pay once your order arrives. Your local postal service may also require a fee for completion of delivery and we sadly cannot control that. These fees, like customs fees and taxes, are not included in your shipping charges, and we're not able to calculate the amount you may be charged for customs on our end of things. We are unfortunately also not able to mark orders as 'gifts' nor are we able to adjust the price declared on the order. We also do not issue any refunds for customs fees, shipping, or the cost of your order should you refuse to pay the customs fees.

+ Do you offer wholesale or bulk order pricing?

Custom Your Ink: We do! For more information about full pricing list, please reach out via Contact Us page.

Please note: We do not offer wholesale during November and December.

+ My order was lost?

Custom Your Ink: If for whatever reason your order was not delivered, please contact us by sending us an e-mail to support@customurink.com

+ Can I cancel my order?

Custom Your Ink: We are unable to cancel orders once an offer has closed and the printing process has commenced. Please refer to our Refund & Exchange Policy for information regarding returns and refunds.

In some case, send us an email with your order details and we’ll issue you a full refund.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

+ How should I wash my shirt?

Custom Your Ink: Turn garments inside out to preserve the integrity of the design. Use cold water only, and laundry detergent without bleach. Dry on low under normal settings. Expect about 5-7% (about a half a shirt size) shrinkage after a normal wash for our cotton shirts. Wash colors separately from whites, especially on the first wash.

Over time, you may experience slight fading on the graphic as your shirt naturally weathers with repeated washings.

+ How do I make sure my tote bag stays bright and white?

Custom Your Ink: It's not recommended that tote bags be washed in the washing machine, but you can keep them looking spiffy by spot cleaning or dry cleaning!

+ Are the wall tapestries washable?

Custom Your Ink: They are indeed! Machine wash individually in cold water on delicate cycle without bleach and then line dry!

+ Can I wash my pillows?

Custom Your Ink: Yes! All pillows consist of an outer cover and an insert. Please note that these pieces have different care instructions:

  • Cover: Machine wash separately in cold water on gentle cycle with mild detergent and no bleach. Tumble dry low.
  • Insert: Spot clean/Dry Clean only
+ Why did my shirt arrive with faded spots all over it?

Custom Your Ink: The last step of the printing process includes the use of a setting spray to make sure the design stays on the shirt. Occasionally this spray can leave faded spots on the shirt, but those should wash out after the first wash! If they don't, please let us know and we'd be happy to rectify this for you.

+ Why does my shirt smell like vinegar?

Custom Your Ink: The DTG printing process can sometimes leave a vinegar-like odor on the printed item. Not to worry! The smell should go away on its own, but if it persists you can flip the shirt inside out and wash it on cold, dry on low. Or you can rinse the garment in cold water and hang it to dry! Either should get rid of any residual odor. If the smell remains, feel free to let us know via the Contact Us page.
