You do not need to be. If the sweatshirt fits looser than you hoped, the photo on the pillow came out darker than it looked on your phone, or the throw just is not right for the room, you can send it back within 60 days of delivery and we will pay the postage. This page is about the <em>process</em> — how to start a return, how to pack it and what happens next. The money side lives on our <a href=\"/refund-policy/\">Refund Policy</a>.</p>\n<h2>1. What you can return</h2>\n<p>Everything we sell can be returned within 60 days of delivery, personalised or not:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Custom printed fleece blankets, including photo blankets and family-name throws.</li>\n<li>Throw pillows and pillow covers with names, dates or photos.</li>\n<li>Sweatshirts, including matching family and holiday designs.</li>\n<li>Pieces from a cozy set — you can return one item from a set and keep the rest.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>We ask only that the item comes back in a reasonable state: clean, not visibly worn for weeks, and free of pet hair and strong smells. Trying a sweatshirt on at home or laying a blanket across the sofa to see the colour is completely fine. A return that arrives heavily used or damaged after delivery is something we will talk through with you before deciding on the outcome.</p>\n<h2>2. Reasons people send things back</h2>\n<table class=\"policy-table\">\n<caption>Common return reasons and how we handle them</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Reason</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Return label</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">What we do</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Changed your mind</td>\n<td>Free, prepaid by us</td>\n<td>Refund once the return arrives</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sweatshirt size does not fit</td>\n<td>Free, prepaid by us</td>\n<td>Refund, and you reorder the size you want</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Photo looks darker or softer than expected</td>\n<td>Free, prepaid by us</td>\n<td>Refund, or we talk through a better photo for a new order</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>We printed something different from your order notes</td>\n<td>Free, prepaid by us</td>\n<td>Reprint with the correct text or a refund — your choice</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Arrived damaged or with a print fault</td>\n<td>Free, prepaid by us</td>\n<td>Reprint or refund — your choice</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wrong item in the parcel</td>\n<td>Free, prepaid by us</td>\n<td>We send the right item or refund</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>One gentle reminder about personalisation: we print exactly what you type in the order notes, and we do not send proofs before production. If a name was misspelt in the notes, we will still accept the return within 60 days, and the label is still free.</p>\n<h2>3. How to start a return, step by step</h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Email us.</strong> Write to <a href=\"mailto:support@thecozyprint.shop\">support@thecozyprint.shop</a> from the address you used to order, or use the <a href=\"/submit-ticket/\">Submit a Ticket</a> page. Include your order number, which item(s) you are returning and a sentence about why.</li>\n<li><strong>Add photos if something is wrong.</strong> If the piece is damaged, misprinted or not what you ordered, attach one or two clear photos — one of the whole item, one close-up of the problem. Daylight near a window works best.</li>\n<li><strong>Receive your label.</strong> We reply within 24 hours on business days with return instructions and a prepaid return label.</li>\n<li><strong>Pack it.</strong> Fold the item, put it in a bag or box (the original mailer is perfect if you kept it) and attach the label so the barcode is flat and visible.</li>\n<li><strong>Drop it off.</strong> Take the parcel to the carrier named on the label and keep the receipt or drop-off confirmation.</li>\n<li><strong>We receive it.</strong> When your return arrives, we let you know by email and your refund is issued within 7 days.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>4. Packing tips for blankets, pillows and sweatshirts</h2>\n<h3>Fleece blankets</h3>\n<p>Fold the throw in thirds lengthwise and then roll it from the short end. A rolled blanket fits into a smaller bag and creases less. Pop it into a plastic bag first if the weather is wet.</p>\n<h3>Throw pillows</h3>\n<p>If your pillow came with an insert, send the cover and the insert back together unless we tell you otherwise. A box gives a pillow a better journey than a thin bag.</p>\n<h3>Sweatshirts</h3>\n<p>Fold with the print facing inward to protect it. Several sweatshirts from the same order can go in one parcel with one label — just tell us how many you are sending.</p>\n<p>Please remove any personal notes, gift cards or extra items you added before sending. We cannot return things that were not part of the order.</p>\n<h2>5. Exchanges</h2>\n<p>Because every piece is printed for you, an exchange works as a return plus a new order. That keeps it simple and quick:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Start a return for the item you want to swap, using the free label.</li>\n<li>Place a new order for the size, colour or design you prefer and write the personalisation in the order notes again.</li>\n<li>Your refund for the returned piece is issued within 7 days of it arriving with us.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Ordering the replacement straight away, rather than waiting for the return to arrive, means the new piece is printed sooner. If you would rather keep the value with us, you can ask for store credit instead of a refund; store credit never expires.</p>\n<h3>Example: a sweatshirt that runs roomy</h3>\n<p>You ordered a size XL &#8220;Grandma Bear&#8221; sweatshirt as a Christmas gift and it swamps her. Email us within 60 days of delivery, we send the free label, and you order the size L with the same wording in the order notes. The XL comes back to us, and once it arrives the refund for it is issued within 7 days. Our <a href=\"/size-guide/\">Size Guide</a> explains how to compare a sweatshirt with one she already loves.</p>\n<h2>6. Returning a gift</h2>\n<p>If you received one of our pieces as a gift, the person who ordered it should start the return, because the refund goes back to their original payment method. If that is awkward — say the gift came from a cousin overseas — email us with the order number or the name on the packing slip and we will find a kind solution, such as store credit in your name.</p>\n<h2>7. Damaged, faulty or incorrect items</h2>\n<p>If something is not right with your order, we want to fix it. Look over your parcel soon after it arrives. If you find a print fault, a hole or tear, the wrong size or colour, or text that does not match what you wrote, email us with your order number and photos. We will offer a reprint or a refund, and any return postage is free.</p>\n<p>Some issues come from the journey: a crushed box, a wet parcel, a torn mailer. Photograph the packaging as well as the item — it helps if we need to raise a claim with the carrier.</p>\n<h2>8. Returns from Canada, Australia and New Zealand</h2>\n<p>Returns from outside the United States follow the same 60-day window and the same free return label. International returns can take longer to reach us than domestic ones, so please keep your drop-off receipt and tracking number until you see our email confirming the return arrived. We send the label and instructions that fit your country when you get in touch.</p>\n<p>Import duties or taxes that the destination country charged on the original delivery are set by that country. We cannot promise that they will be refunded by the authority that collected them; if you paid such charges, tell us and we will explain what we can and cannot do.</p>\n<h2>9. Returning part of a cozy set</h2>\n<p>Sets are popular — a fleece throw with the family name, a matching pillow and sweatshirts for the grown-ups. If one piece is not right, you do not have to send the whole set back. Tell us which item you are returning, and the refund covers that item only. If you bought several items and want to return all of them, one email starts the whole return and we will tell you whether one label or more is needed.</p>\n<h3>Example: the Thanksgiving table set</h3>\n<p>You ordered a &#8220;Gather &amp; Grateful&#8221; family-name pillow, a blanket and two sweatshirts for a November visit. The pillow and the blanket are perfect, but one sweatshirt is too snug. Email us with the order number and the word &#8220;sweatshirt&#8221;, send it back with the free label, and keep the rest. If you want the larger size, place a new order for it.</p>\n<h2>10. A return timeline you can expect</h2>\n<table class=\"policy-table\">\n<caption>What happens and when during a return</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Step</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Who</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Timing</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>You ask for a return</td>\n<td>You</td>\n<td>Any time within 60 days of delivery</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>We reply with instructions and a free label</td>\n<td>The Cozy Print</td>\n<td>Within 24 hours on business days</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>You drop the parcel off</td>\n<td>You</td>\n<td>As soon as is convenient — keep the receipt</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The parcel travels back</td>\n<td>Carrier</td>\n<td>Depends on the carrier and the country</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>We confirm it arrived and refund</td>\n<td>The Cozy Print</td>\n<td>Refund within 7 days of receiving the return</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>The return window is measured from the delivery date shown in tracking. If you ask for your return on day 59, you are inside the window — we will still send the label.</p>\n<h2>11. Before you send it back: a quick checklist</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Your order number is in your email to us.</li>\n<li>The item is folded, clean and bagged.</li>\n<li>Any pillow insert that came with the cover is included.</li>\n<li>The prepaid label is attached flat, and old barcodes on a reused box are covered.</li>\n<li>You kept the drop-off receipt or tracking number.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>12. After your return arrives</h2>\n<p>When the parcel reaches us, we open it, check it is the item from your order and email you. Your refund is then issued within 7 days of us receiving the return, to your original payment method, or as store credit if you asked for it. The <a href=\"/refund-policy/\">Refund Policy</a> explains how long banks and payment providers usually take to show the money.</p>\n<p>If the parcel does not arrive, do not worry: send us the tracking number from your drop-off receipt and we will follow it up with the carrier.</p>\n<h2>13. Things we cannot accept</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Items that were not bought from The Cozy Print.</li>\n<li>Returns where the 60-day window since delivery has passed — but please still write to us if there is a fault, and we will look at it fairly.</li>\n<li>Items damaged through misuse after delivery, such as burns, bleach or ironing directly on the print.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>14. Your privacy during a return</h2>\n<p>Photos you send for a return are used only to sort out that return. Photos you sent for personalisation are deleted 30 days after delivery, so if you want a reprint later, you may need to send the photo again. Our <a href=\"/privacy-policy/\">Privacy Policy</a> explains this in full.</p>\n<h2>15.
