Once we can verify your claim, we will be happy to replace the product or order in question. Please note replacing items can only be reshipped FedEx Ground for no additional charge.

Due to our products flying off the shelves, especially during graduation season, certain items may be backordered or out of stock. Since our inventory is constantly changing, items that say "In Stock" may not be in real time. We strongly encourage you to order as early as possible so we can fulfill your order as placed. If the item(s) you purchased will not be in stock before your need-by date, our customer care team will work with you as best as we can. Whether it's switching a color, size or item in its place or offering you a credit/reimbursement, we are here to help. We strive to ship all our stock orders within 72 hours; however, backordered items can sometimes cause unforeseen delays. Feel free to follow up on your order with our customer care team if you've noticed a delay in shipping.

We know time is of the essence when it comes to ordering your graduation regalia, so we want to do everything in our power to make your need by date! Occasionally, a popular item or size will run out of stock so it may be necessary to bump or swap out the item to make your graduation. A size bump on a gown or tassel can often go unnoticed by the graduate as the difference in length is typically only about 2 inches longer or shorter. This is not a common occurrence but sometimes necessary when items are out of stock and the order is time sensitive.

On the rare occasion, packages may get lost or delayed in transit. If you believe this has happened, you can take the following steps: First, try calling 1-800-GOFEDEX and provide your tracking number to confirm it's lost. Next, please contact our customer care department right away to discuss your options. You can email [email protected] or call 1-800-352-6162 to open a case so we can begin our investigation. We will file a claim with Fed Ex, but it will take some time to go through. If the order is time sensitive, we recommend placing a new order instead of waiting for the outcome on the claim. Once a claim has been processed and validated, a credit or reimbursement will be issued.

Sorry, GraduationSource does NOT pay for any customs, fees, duties and taxes. The recipient is responsible for paying customs fees and import duties that enable the goods to be cleared from the port. These charges may include docking charges, warehouse storage fees, customs clearance tax, and port security fees. According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Customs Duty is defined as "a tariff or tax imposed on goods when transported across international borders. The purpose of Customs Duty is to protect each country's economy, residents, jobs, environment, etc., by controlling the flow of goods, especially restrictive and prohibited goods, into and out of the country." The cost of customs fees and taxes will be determined by our shipper, FedEx.
