Welcome to Blue Crab Swag Terms and Conditions

Custom Orders 

Nearly all of our products are custom and personalized items.  When you place an order for a custom product you may be contacted by us requesting you approve a draft of your order.  We will not begin the creative process until we receive approval from you.  However, if you have indicated that your order is urgent, we will complete your order without approval after 48 hours. If we do not obtain approval within 48 hours, your order will be placed in an inactive status and any products being held for your order will be placed back into inventory and available for others to purchase.  After 72 hours we reserve the right to begin the order cancelation process to include authorizing a refund minus any applicable financial burden your order has incurred.   

IF YOU HAVE INDICATED YOU WANT YOUR ORDER COMPLETED WITHOUT APPROVING ANY DRAFTS, YOUR ORDER WILL BE COMPLETED PROMPTLY AND THE ABOVE POLICY WILL NOT APPLY.

Warranty and Return Policy

Please note that we do not offer any specific warranty or guarantee on our custom products, except for defective items. All warranties regarding defective products are determined by the manufacturer and vary. Rest assured that issues of concern are extremely rare and will be handled on an individual basis. Our utmost priority is to ensure your satisfaction, and we will go above and beyond to make our customers happy.

We do not accept returns on any custom products, which includes any permanent changes made at the direction of the customer, or "special orders".  However, for non-customized products, returns are accepted and a return authorization can be provided within 7 days.

Please review our product care and use suggestions found on our website.

Shipping Policy

LOCAL PICK UP AND DELIVERY

You can pick up your completed order in La Plata, Maryland -

We also provide local delivery in the surrounding area which is scheduled for one day a week or more depending on the workload demand.  We can discuss this if you have any questions or need to schedule a delivery. There is a small delivery fee.

SHIPPING

We generally use the U.S. Postal Service

and UPS as a second alternative.

Unless drop shipped, packages are shipped from zip code 20646

Orders are tracked and once a shipping label has been issued we will send you an email with the tracking number and link to check on the delivery status.

All claims of damaged goods must be reported to the shipping entity as required by their specific policy. We will assist as much as we can, however we are not permitted to make a claim for you.

Our goal is to ship your order within 1-3 days from the date you place your order and provide any final approval /authorization.  From time to time, matters beyond our control can cause delays.  For example, we use electricity to produce our products.  If a storm or other issue causes a utility outage our orders may be delayed.  We are a small company, thus the illness of our staff could cause a delay.

We are all human and make mistakes.  We apologize now in the event any human error causes you distress or concern.  Once an error is discovered or brought to our attention we will have the matter addressed as quickly as possible.  We can not sell products at an unreasonable price.  For example, if an error is made posting a product for sale for $1.00 and it is supposed to be $10.00.
