Refund & Return Policy
Thanks for shopping with Team Sparko. Please give this a read before ordering — it covers exactly when a return, replacement, or refund applies to your posters, mugs, or tees.
When Do We Accept Returns?
Only when the product itself is at fault — damaged in transit, defective, or simply the wrong item landed in your hands.
We won't be able to accept a return if:
-
You've simply changed your mind after ordering
-
The order was placed by mistake on your end
-
You picked the wrong size, design, or quantity at checkout
-
A poster's printed colours look slightly different from what you saw on-screen (screens and print naturally render colour differently)
-
Your uploaded photo/design file was low quality, blurry, or low-resolution for a custom piece
-
It's a custom or personalised poster, mug, or tee — unless that item genuinely arrived damaged, defective, or wrong
-
There's no actual damage, defect, or mismatch with what you received
Good to know:
Wherever your claim qualifies, we'll send a replacement first. A refund only comes into play if a replacement genuinely isn't possible after we've checked things on our end.
Custom & Personalised Pieces
Any personalised poster, name/photo mug, or custom-printed tee is locked in for production as soon as your order is confirmed — meaning it can't be cancelled once placed.
No exceptions here, since production kicks off right away.
Before checking out, take a moment to review your uploaded image, chosen size, design, quantity, and every other order detail — once it's confirmed, it's already in the works.
What Makes You Eligible for a Refund or Replacement?
This only applies when your item shows up physically damaged, defective, missing, or not what you ordered — and only if you meet these steps:
-
Film your unboxing. One continuous, unbroken video, starting before you open the package.
-
What the video needs to show: the sealed parcel, you opening it, the condition of the poster/mug/tee inside, and clearly capture whatever's wrong — a bent poster, cracked mug, or faulty tee print.
-
Send it to us — email your video to teamsparkoo5@gmail.com along with your order number and a quick note on the issue.
-
No video, no claim. We're unable to process anything without this proof, so please don't skip it.
You've got a 48-hour window from delivery to send this through.
How We Resolve It
-
Our team checks your video and order details to confirm the issue.
-
Approved? We'll send a replacement first, wherever that's possible.
-
Refund only comes in if a replacement genuinely can't be arranged.
-
Refunds go back to whatever payment method you originally used.
-
Once we've approved and processed it on our side, expect it to reflect in your account within 5 business days, though your bank or payment app's own timing may add a bit more.
Spotting Damage Before You Even Open It
-
If the outer packaging — box, envelope, or poster tube — looks visibly crushed, torn, or tampered with, please refuse the delivery right there and message us immediately.
-
If you did accept it and something's wrong inside (cracked mug, bent poster, faulty tee print, wrong item), you're back to the unboxing-video rule above — 48 hours, one continuous video, no exceptions.
Add-on & Accessory Items
Small consumables that come bundled with orders — think adhesive dots, glue tabs, sticker packs — aren't returnable once delivered, unless what arrived is genuinely defective or the wrong item.
When a Package Bounces Back to Us (RTO)
If your order gets returned to us because of something on the customer's side — wrong or incomplete address, unreachable phone number, nobody around to receive it, repeated failed delivery attempts, or refusing the parcel — that's an RTO.
-
For prepaid RTO orders, any refund only kicks in once we've physically received the parcel back and checked it over.
-
Since courier costs apply both sending it out and bringing it back, that cost plus a handling fee comes out of your payment — whatever's left gets refunded.
-
Custom posters, personalised mugs, and custom tees remain non-refundable in an RTO, even if it bounced back for customer-side reasons — these were made specifically for your order.
-
Repeated refused/returned COD orders may lead to us restricting COD as an option for future orders from that customer.
-
Want your RTO parcel sent out again? We can do that, but a fresh shipping fee applies before redispatch.
What We Can't Refund
-
Claims made without a proper unboxing video
-
Claims raised more than 48 hours after delivery
-
Simply changing your mind post-purchase
-
Wrong size, design, or quantity chosen by you at checkout
-
Blurry or low-quality images you uploaded for a custom order
-
Colour variation caused by your screen's brightness/settings vs. actual print
-
Delivery failures, refusals, or RTO charges caused on the customer's side
