Review Our Return/Exchange Policy
Please enclose a copy of the original receipt(s) with the return. If you don't have the receipt, you can also log in to your account and print past orders from there.
PLEASE INCLUDE ALL PAPERWORK, OR WE WILL NOT REFUND YOUR ITEMS.
You may choose a refund, credit or merchandise exchange in the same amount of the return (excluding shipping). You will have to pay the postage on any items you are returning to us. For returns, we will calculate the amount we owe you, less a 10% restocking fee. You can keep this credit for later, or we will refund you in whatever method you originally purchased them.
We accept refunds and exchanges for ONE YEAR from the original sale date. We do not offer refunds and exchanges for discontinued items. Before requesting a refund, please ensure the item is still for sale on our website. Refunds or exchanges can take up to a week to process. Returns or refunds less than $5.00 are not accepted.
*RETIRED, DATED, OR CUSTOM ITEMS ARE NOT RETURNABLE.
If you have any questions, we'd be happy to answer them.
Our website applies discounts at the item level; item prices are rounded to the nearest cent after 50 cents. For example, a $1.50 crest with a 15% discount equals $1.275, which is rounded to $1.28.
All orders are shipped from Canada to almost anywhere on the planet via Canada Post. If urgent, we can arrange a courier via UPS, FedEx, Purolator or DHL International. If you have a courier account, we can also ship items to you using your account. We are not responsible for any lost or stolen items in transit using your account.
All shipping transit times quoted are business days (Monday-Friday), and day 1 is the day AFTER the order ships.
In-stock orders usually ship within two business days unless otherwise noted on the website. However, during times of heavy order volume (especially October, November, April and May), orders typically ship within 3-4 business days. If items are back-ordered, we will contact you when your order is processed, not the day the order is placed.
Shipping options include Canada Post regular uninsured mail with no tracking, Expedited or Xpresspost. If urgent, we can ship via Purolator.
Shipping costs are calculated on the SUBTOTAL BEFORE ANY DISCOUNTS due to the size and weight of packages.
Shipping rates are subject to change without notice.
All custom orders take 4-5 weeks once your final proof and order are confirmed. This duration includes the time it takes to produce a sample, your changes or approval, patch production, and shipment from our manufacturer to E-Patches & Crests.
We do not manufacture our items on site. We receive shipments from our suppliers weekly.
All orders are generally shipped Canada Post Xpresspost and typically take 2-4 business days to arrive. We also ship Canada Post Expedited, which can take 3 - 9 business days. We ship from Alberta, Canada.
Most international orders are shipped via Canada Post. Options include regular uninsured airmail, Xpresspost or Tracked Packet. We also can ship via DHL courier. Delivery times can take anywhere from 3-30 business days, depending on your chosen delivery option and location.
Our delivery times do not include the time it takes for your order to clear customs. Unfortunately, some packages get held up as they cross the border, and we can not control how long it takes for items to clear customs. You can view our shipping rates and times for more information.
If you require your order before the standard 4-5 weeks from final proof and order confirmation, we can RUSH your order for a 10% RUSH surcharge. All samples for RUSH orders are approved in-house and have no delivery date guarantee, regardless if your order is being shipped or if you are picking up your order from E-Patches & Crests.
The delivery times on our Shipping Rates/Times refer to the time spent in transit (once your order has left our office). This time does not include the two business day processing time, and day 1 is the day AFTER the order has been shipped.
Our delivery times do not include the time it takes for your order to clear customs. Unfortunately, some packages get held up as they cross borders, and we can not control how long it takes to be cleared.
The transit time varies depending on your chosen shipping method and location. All uninsured packages are shipped via snail mail and have no tracking numbers.
We only provide tracking numbers for these shipping methods: Canada Xpresspost and Expedited, USA Tracked Packet and Xpresspost, and International Xpresspost. You can view all shipping options and times in the tables on our Shipping Rates/Times page.
Unfortunately, we cannot split up an order and ship to multiple locations. If you wish to send items to different addresses, you must place a separate order for each shipping address.
Backorders occur, and sometimes the demand for our products exceeds what we have in stock. If you know that you will need a large number of items, please give us 3-4 weeks' notice so we can ensure enough items are available for your event.
When we become aware of a backorder, we will notify you by email with a general or specific date when we expect to receive the item back in stock. We will provide the option of receiving a partial shipment or waiting for the entire order. We pay for the shipping on all backorders and apologize in advance for the inconvenience that back orders may cause.
We cannot accept changes to orders. Once an order is placed, we do not allow changes or substitutions. We no longer accept requests to apply an expired promo code, effective December 29, 2023.
If you need to change your shipping method, please contact us before your order is processed, and we will review requests on a case-by-case basis. Orders cannot be cancelled or changed once the order has been shipped.
If you are an E-Rewards member, you may view your order status on the order history page in our members' area.
We reserve the right to approve your order with our supplier to ensure we meet your in-hand date requirements.
If you need to cancel an in-stock order, it's best to call us during business hours. Orders can be cancelled as long as they have not been shipped.
If you need to cancel a custom order, please email or call our custom department. Customers can cancel orders as long as the sample has not been approved and production has not begun, and we do not refund the $50 deposit.
Late deliveries can occur and will be handled on a case-by-case basis. The transit time for each order varies depending on your chosen shipping method and location. All uninsured packages are shipped via snail mail and have no tracking numbers. If your order is late, please contact us, and we will try to resolve the issue.
When they arrive, orders shipped outside Canada may be charged customs fees (for example, taxes, duties, processing fees, and brokerage fees). Unfortunately, E-Patches & Crests has no control over these fees. If assessed, these charges are the responsibility of the package recipient, who will be billed for them by the local customs office or shipping carrier. Please check with your local customs office to learn more about your country's customs laws and fees. Also, because we are an online store, we cannot mark orders as 'Gifts' for customers to avoid paying these fees.
