All quality and damage claims must be filed through the Report a Defect page on gelome.com with the required proof:

Strict Reporting Deadlines:

• Physical Transit Damage, Holes, Tampered Packaging, or Missing Items: Must be reported within 24 hours of marked delivery.
• Print Quality Defects, Misprints, or Wrong Item Received: Must be reported within 3 days of delivery.

Mandatory Evidence Checklist:

1. Your confirmed Order ID.
2. Clear photo of the product in full view.
3. Clear photograph of the UID Label / Barcode Sticker attached to the packaging.
4. Continuous, unedited unboxing video (strictly mandatory for transit damage, torn packaging, or missing items).
5. Flat-lay photo with a measuring tape (mandatory for print misalignment or garment sizing mismatch disputes).

Color Saturation & Screen Variance: Minor variations in color tone and print saturation between digital screen mockups and physical Direct-to-Film (DTF) prints are normal technical characteristics of apparel printing and do not constitute a defect.

Placement Tolerance: Standard garment industry placement variance of up to +/- 0.5 inches (+/- 1.27 cm} from digital preview mock ups is within normal production tolerance.

DTF Wash Care Protection:

• Machine wash cold (strictly below 30°C) inside-out on a gentle cycle with mild liquid detergent.
• Line dry in the shade; do not tumble dry on high heat.
• Never iron directly on the printed graphic; iron inside-out on low heat.
• Washing in hot water, machine drying, or scrubbing the print voids warranty and defect claims.

How do I choose the correct size?

Measure a garment, not your body. Lay a t-shirt that fits you well completely flat and measure across the chest from armpit to armpit, then double that number and match it to the Chest row in the size chart. Measure collar to hem for length. If you are between sizes or prefer a relaxed fit, choose one size up. Made to order: no size exchanges or returns.

Can I request a custom design?

Gelome currently offers curated, ready-to-print designs and does not accept individual custom graphic modifications at this time.  

What if tracking shows "Delivered" but I haven't received it?

Check with family, flatmates, neighbors, or building security first. If still missing, notify us at gelomeopscs@gelome.com within 24 hours with your Order ID so we can file an official courier dispute. Claims raised after 24 hours cannot be investigated by logistics partners.
