Policy — Returns & Refunds

A Fair Return Policy, Built for Custom Labels

Custom labels are personalized and cannot be resold, so we don't accept change-of-mind returns of correctly produced goods. But when our products or service don't meet the agreed order, we take responsibility — with a free reprint or refund on our errors and a 50% corrective reprint for customer-side artwork errors. Your mandatory legal rights always remain unaffected.

Custom Products

Custom Products & Change-of-Mind Returns

Labels printed with your artwork, brand, text, or other individual specifications are personalized products. We do not accept returns of correctly produced custom goods because you changed your mind, ordered too many, changed your branding, or no longer need them.

Where the EU or UK personalized-goods exception applies, the usual 14-day change-of-mind withdrawal right does not apply. This exception does not remove rights relating to faulty, misdescribed, or undelivered goods. Standard, non-personalized products are addressed in Section 9.

This policy applies to orders placed directly with LabelsAgent. Mandatory rights under applicable law remain unaffected. Separate written terms agreed for a business order apply where lawful; they do not remove rights that cannot legally be excluded.

02
Cancellation

Order Changes & Voluntary Cancellation

Email [email protected] as soon as you need to change or cancel an order. We will check its actual status and explain the available options.

Before Proof Approval
100%

Full refund

Cancel before approving the proof and we refund the label order in full.

After Proof, Before Production
≤10% cap

Documented costs only

If we can stop the order, we refund less any reasonable, documented, non-recoverable preparation costs already incurred for your order — disclosed before purchase, permitted by law, and capped at 10% of the affected product price. No such costs? Full refund. Unused shipping charges are refunded.

After Production Starts
Case by case

Change-of-mind limited

Once printing or order-specific tooling/material conversion has begun, we don't ordinarily accept voluntary change-of-mind cancellation of personalized products. We will still check whether any part can be stopped and any costs reasonably saved.

Your legal rights are not restricted. These voluntary cancellation conditions do not limit cancellation or refund rights arising from our breach, qualifying shipment or delivery delays, or other applicable legal rights.
03
Production Errors

Errors, Defects & Incorrect Quantities

Contact us if your labels don't conform to the agreed order — wrong material, adhesive, dimensions, shape, finish, artwork reproduction, or quantity, or a manufacturing defect affecting their agreed use.

Material error

We shipped a different material than agreed (e.g., you ordered White BOPP, we shipped White Paper).

Size or shape error

Labels fall outside the production tolerance clearly communicated and agreed in your order before production.

Print defect

Ink smearing, banding, missing foil layer, or reproduction that misses the approved physical reference under the agreed conditions.

Cut error

Die-cut shifted, off-register, or labels cut to the wrong shape.

Adhesive error

Wrong adhesive used versus the agreed specification (permanent vs removable, freezer vs standard).

Quantity shortage

Report any shortage. An overrun/underrun allowance applies only if agreed in advance and lawful.

We assess goods against the confirmed order specifications, approved artwork, relevant samples, and our written product commitments. We never apply an undisclosed tolerance to dismiss a claim.

Resolution Options

Free reprint + reshipDefault fix for a confirmed production error.
RefundIf a reprint can't meet the agreed deadline or a reasonable time.
Price reductionProportionate, if you prefer to keep usable goods.

Where only part of an order is affected, the remedy normally addresses that part — unless the problem undermines the use of the whole order or applicable law gives you wider rights. Any legal right to reject goods or choose a remedy takes priority over our normal reprint process, and you never have to accept store credit instead of a refund you're entitled to.

04
Artwork Approval

Artwork Approval & Customer-Supplied Errors

Before approving a proof, please check spelling, numbers, barcodes and QR content, dimensions, logo version, layout, and the specifications shown. You're responsible for the accuracy of content you supply and approve where we reproduce it correctly.

If an Approved-Artwork Error Slips Through

If an error was present in your approved artwork and we reproduced it accurately, the original order isn't eligible for a refund solely because of that customer-supplied error. Instead, we offer a corrective reprint on these terms:

  • 50% of the original affected product price — one corrective reprint
  • Same quantity, material, size, and finish — only the erroneous content corrected
  • Shipping and any applicable taxes quoted separately before you agree to proceed
  • Changes to quantity or specifications require a separate quote
05
Shipping

Shipping Damage, Loss & Disputed Delivery

Arrives damaged

Keep the packaging and remaining labels where reasonably possible and send available photographs. We arrange a replacement or refund for damage we're responsible for.

Tracking stalls or overdue

If tracking stops updating or delivery is overdue, contact us. We investigate with the carrier and arrange replacement or refund for confirmed loss or misdelivery we're responsible for.

"Delivered" but not received

A delivery scan alone does not automatically settle a disputed receipt. We consider the available delivery evidence with you.

You don't wait for our insurance. You never have to wait for the carrier to pay our insurance claim before receiving a remedy that is due, and carrier investigations are never used to extend legal refund deadlines. For consumer orders shipped through a carrier we arrange, we remain responsible for the goods until they reach you or a person you designate, subject to applicable law. Separately agreed business shipping terms, or a carrier independently commissioned by the buyer, may require a different assessment.
06
Delivery Address

Incorrect Addresses & Unsuccessful Delivery

Please provide a complete, accurate delivery address — including any apartment or unit number, postal code, and contact details needed for delivery — and notify us immediately if these details change. A change requested after dispatch may not be possible to fulfil.

If delivery fails, we compare the order address, any address change we agreed to, the shipping label, and the carrier's stated reason for failure. We don't assume every failed delivery is the customer's fault. If the failure was caused by incorrect or incomplete information you supplied, and we used the correct agreed information:

  • We help request an address correction, collection, or redelivery where available.
  • You may be responsible for reasonable, documented additional correction, return, storage, or reshipping costs caused by that error, where permitted by law — explained before we request payment.
  • If the parcel returns to us in usable condition, we contact you to arrange shipment to a confirmed address. We don't automatically refund correctly produced personalized goods merely because the original delivery failed or you decline to pay reasonable redelivery costs.
  • If you request cancellation instead, we assess whether cancellation is available under the contract and applicable law. Any permitted deduction reflects actual, reasonable, non-recoverable losses, accounts for costs saved or recovered, and avoids double recovery. Where lawful, the retained amount may include the price of completed personalized goods that cannot reasonably be resold.
  • If the parcel is lost or destroyed, we investigate the cause and available recovery options before assessing responsibility. An incorrect address does not automatically forfeit the entire order value.

If we used an address incorrectly, omitted information you supplied, or failed to use a change we had confirmed, we bear the reasonable costs of correcting our error and provide any remedy required by law.

07
Unclaimed Parcels

Unclaimed Parcels, Refusal & Import Charges

If a parcel cannot be delivered or is awaiting collection or customs action, we make reasonable efforts to contact you using the details on your order. Please respond promptly — carriers may impose collection or return deadlines.

If non-delivery is caused by your failure to collect the parcel or complete a responsibility clearly disclosed before purchase, we assess reasonable additional costs using the principles in Section 6. We don't apply an automatic no-refund rule to all refused or unclaimed parcels.

Any customer responsibility for import charges must be disclosed before purchase. We will not charge you again for taxes or duties already included in your order or promised as paid by us. If our paperwork or fulfilment error caused the problem, we address it at our expense. Charges paid directly to customs or a carrier may require a separate recovery process, without limiting any remedy we owe you.

Refusing delivery because goods are faulty, or because you're validly exercising a legal cancellation right, is treated under the relevant legal rules — not as customer misconduct. Please notify us clearly if you wish to cancel; refusing or failing to collect a parcel alone may not communicate a valid cancellation.

08
Delays

Production & Delivery Delays

We distinguish production time, dispatch time, and carrier transit estimates. Any essential delivery date must be raised with us before ordering and recorded in the order agreement.

If we cannot meet an agreed dispatch date, we notify you, explain the revised timing, and provide the cancellation and refund options required by applicable law. A personalized order is not automatically exempt from these rights.

  • US orders: for orders covered by the FTC Mail, Internet, or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule, we follow its shipment-delay notice, consent, cancellation, and refund requirements. Where no shipment time is stated, the Rule generally uses a 30-day shipment period. Required refunds are never replaced with future-order credit.
  • EU & UK consumer orders: applicable delivery and cancellation rights remain available — including rights arising after an additional reasonable delivery period or, where applicable, immediately when an essential agreed date is missed or delivery is refused by us.

Customs processing, weather, or carrier congestion may explain a delay, but do not automatically remove statutory remedies. If an order is validly cancelled because of a qualifying delay, we refund the amounts required by law, including applicable delivery charges.

09
Samples & Stock

Standard Samples & Non-Personalized Goods

For standard, non-personalized sample packs or stock goods, we offer a voluntary return period of 30 days from delivery. Contact us within that period and return the goods within 14 days of our return instructions. Under this voluntary offer, goods must be unused and complete. We refund their product price without a fixed restocking fee; original and return shipping are not refunded for a voluntary change-of-mind return unless stated otherwise or required by law.

Eligible EU and UK consumers may instead use their statutory withdrawal right by notifying us within 14 days of receiving non-exempt goods and sending them back within 14 days after that notification. Under this right, we refund the product price and the basic standard outward delivery charge. Premium delivery upgrades are not refundable beyond that standard amount. Direct return costs are payable by you only if we informed you before purchase. No automatic restocking fee applies; only a lawful deduction for diminished value from handling beyond what is needed to inspect the goods may apply.

Statutory withdrawal refunds are due within 14 days of your cancellation notice, although where lawful we may withhold reimbursement until we receive the goods or evidence of return, whichever is earlier. Our voluntary unused-goods condition does not restrict lawful inspection or defect claims.

You can cancel by emailing a clear statement — no particular form is required. If useful, include: "I withdraw from my purchase of [goods], ordered on [date], received on [date]. Order number: [number]. Name and address: [details]. Date: [date]."

How to Report a Problem or Return Goods

Email [email protected] with your order number or other proof of purchase, a description of the issue, the affected quantity, and any photographs or other evidence reasonably available. For adhesion problems, describe the container surface, application conditions, and intended use so we can investigate accurately.

Resolution

Reprint, refund, or price reduction — plus any legal remedy that applies.

The 7-day window is a request, not a deadline. Please inspect promptly and report visible issues within 7 days where possible — it speeds up resolution. But later reports, including hidden defects, are assessed under the applicable rights and circumstances. We never reject a valid legal claim solely because you didn't provide photographs within 7 days or no longer have the original packaging. Our process never suspends legal deadlines.

Please contact us before returning goods so we can provide the correct destination and practical instructions — don't send goods to the dispatch address unless we confirm it's suitable. These arrangements are for coordination and do not make a valid statutory cancellation dependent on our permission. For a defect or error we're responsible for, we arrange return or cover reasonable necessary return costs; where return is unnecessary, we may confirm in writing that you can retain or dispose of the goods. We never require you to destroy evidence before your claim is assessed.

Refunds

Refund Method & Timing

We normally issue refunds within 5 business days after the refund amount is established and any lawful return condition is met — and always within any earlier applicable legal deadline. We don't delay establishing an entitlement to avoid a deadline. Required FTC refunds follow the Rule's timetable; relevant EU and UK deadlines also take priority.

Refunds go to the original payment method where possible, or another method agreed with you without additional refund fees. Bank or payment-provider posting time can vary; we provide confirmation once the refund has been issued.

A full refund for an entirely undelivered or validly rejected order includes delivery charges where required. For partial refunds, we explain the affected goods, shipping treatment, and any lawful deduction. We don't deduct our payment-processing fees from a statutory refund, and we don't require you to accept store credit.

FAQ
Common Questions

Return & Refund FAQ

Can I return custom labels if I change my mind?+

No. Correctly produced personalized labels can't be resold, so change-of-mind returns aren't accepted, and the EU/UK 14-day withdrawal right doesn't apply to personalized goods. This never affects your rights for faulty, misdescribed, or undelivered goods.

Can I cancel my order?+

Yes — full refund before proof approval. After proof approval but before production, we refund less any reasonable, documented, non-recoverable preparation costs (pre-disclosed and capped at 10% of the affected product price). Once production starts, voluntary change-of-mind cancellation is limited, but we check what can still be stopped. Cancellation rights arising from our breach or qualifying delays are never restricted.

What if my labels arrive damaged or don't arrive?+

Keep the packaging and send photos where reasonably possible. We investigate with the carrier and arrange a replacement or refund for damage, loss, or misdelivery we're responsible for. You don't wait for our carrier insurance to pay out, and a delivery scan alone doesn't settle a disputed receipt.

What if my order is late?+

If we miss an agreed dispatch date, we notify you and provide the cancellation and refund options required by law — including FTC shipment-delay rules for US orders and EU/UK consumer delivery rights. Customs, weather, or carrier congestion may explain a delay but don't automatically remove statutory remedies, and required refunds are never replaced with next-order credit.

How long does a refund take?+

We normally issue refunds within 5 business days after the amount is established and any lawful return condition is met — always within any earlier legal deadline. Refunds go to your original payment method where possible, with no processing-fee deductions from statutory refunds and no forced store credit.

Can I return a sample pack?+

Yes. Standard, non-personalized sample packs and stock goods can be returned within 30 days of delivery (unused and complete) for a 100% product-price refund, with no fixed restocking fee. Eligible EU/UK consumers may instead use the statutory 14-day withdrawal right, which also refunds the basic standard outward delivery charge.
