Returns & Refunds Policy
Returns & Refunds Policy – No Holds Barred Pod
Last updated: 3rd June 2026
This Returns & Refunds Policy applies to all merchandise purchased from the No Holds Barred Pod website.
We use print-on-demand services (via Inkthreadable), which means most items are produced specifically to order. Please read this policy carefully before making a purchase.
1. Print-on-Demand & Made-to-Order Items
Most No Holds Barred Pod merchandise is made to order once a purchase is placed.
Because of this:
- Items are not held in stock
- Production begins shortly after checkout
- Change-of-mind returns are not accepted
This includes (but is not limited to):
- Ordering the wrong size
- Ordering the wrong colour or design
- Deciding you no longer want the item after purchase
This does not affect your statutory rights for faulty or misdescribed goods.
2. Faulty, Damaged, or Incorrect Items
If your item arrives:
- Faulty
- Damaged
- Incorrect (wrong item or design)
Please contact us within 14 days of delivery.
To help us resolve the issue quickly, include:
- Your order number
- A brief description of the issue
- Clear photographs showing the problem
Where the issue is confirmed, we will offer:
- A replacement, or
- A full refund (including original delivery costs where applicable)
Return postage costs for faulty or incorrect items will be covered.
3. Sizing & Product Variations
All product images are mock-ups provided for illustrative purposes.
Due to print-on-demand production:
- Minor variations in colour, fabric texture, sizing, or print placement may occur
- These are considered normal and do not constitute a fault
We strongly recommend checking sizing guides carefully before ordering.
4. Items That Cannot Be Returned
The following items are not eligible for return or refund, unless faulty:
- Print-on-demand items made to order
- Personalised or custom products
- Items that have been worn, washed, or damaged after delivery
5. International Returns & Customs
For international orders:
- Customs duties, VAT, and import taxes are non-refundable
- We are not responsible for delays or refusals caused by customs authorities
If an item is returned due to refusal, non-collection, or incorrect address details, we reserve the right to deduct production and shipping costs from any refund, or to decline a refund where goods cannot be recovered.
6. Order Cancellations
Orders for print-on-demand merchandise cannot be cancelled once production has begun.
Because production starts shortly after checkout, cancellation requests may not be possible even if submitted soon after ordering.
7. Refund Processing
Approved refunds are processed:
- To the original payment method
- Within 14 days of confirmation
Please note that it may take additional time for your bank or card provider to reflect the refund.
8. Statutory Rights
Nothing in this policy affects your statutory consumer rights under UK law, including your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Please refer carefully to sizing guides before placing an order.
