Store Policies

Production Time

Every item in our collection is meticulously crafted and hand-colored upon receiving your order. Typically, our items require 3-7 days to be skillfully created. Please note that during holiday periods, there may be extended processing times, which may vary depending on the specific item.

Shipping

The responsibility for ensuring the accuracy of the shipping address lies with the customer. In cases where items are returned due to an incorrect address, the customer will be responsible for the re-shipment costs.

Once your order has been dispatched to you, it becomes the responsibility of the shipping service. If you encounter any issues with the delivery, such as non-receipt, you can initiate a resolution by contacting the mail service provider mentioned in the email notification sent to you when your package was shipped.

Order Modifications and Cancellations

Requests for order cancellations or changes will be accommodated if submitted within 24 hours of placing your order. Once an item has been customized, it cannot be refunded or exchanged.

Return Policy

Please note that all customized or personalized items are considered final sales, and we are unable to accept returns for them. However, if you receive a product and are dissatisfied for any reason, you can contact us within 14 calendar days from the date of delivery. To initiate a return, kindly specify the issue and provide accompanying pictures.

Customers are responsible for the cost of return shipping. The returned product should reach Advanced Ape Creations within 10 calendar days from the date of delivery to be eligible for a refund. Please be aware that the original shipping charges will not be included in the refunded amount. Refunds will be processed once the item is received by Advanced Ape Creations in its original condition.
