RETURN POLICY

Please visit our Returns and Exchanges page here.

 

CANCELLATION POLICY - MADE TO ORDER ITEMS

Cancellations are not accepted for custom manufactured (made to order) items once an order has been placed into production. For example, if you have a team member who leaves your team, and her uniform and other made to order items (custom bows, poms, etc.) are already in process, we are unable to cancel her order because all uniforms and made to order items are custom made to our customer's specifications. We are also unable to cancel orders due to season or event cancellations for COVID-19 or other reasons as custom order processes such as striping and cutting begin once an order is processed.  We are able to accept returns on any unworn/unused in-stock items in accordance with our return policy above. 

 

 

FIT AND ALTERATIONS

1. Cheerleading Company garments are manufactured to standard sizing charts. Measurements are taken to determine which standard size will be the best possible fit. Garments are not manufactured to fit an individual's exact measurements. We are able to customize back length and skirt length on most garments at no extra charge.

2. Cheerleaders Grow! Hold fittings as close to the time of ordering as possible, and take potential growth into account when determining the size to order. Bonus: We offer a generous seam allowance on most garments to allow for easy alterations if needed. Most garments can be let out almost to the next size.

3. As with any standard-size garment, some alterations may be necessary for the best fit. Alterations and alteration costs are the sole responsibility of the purchaser. Cheerleading Company does not provide alterations.

As our garments are hand sewn, there may be small tolerances in the length and width of garments. Garments may measure up to +/- 1/2" of the specified length and +/- 1/2" of the specified bust/chest or waist size.

We highly recommend our convenient FIT KITS for sizing.

 

SPECIAL PACKAGE PRICING POLICY:  Including Classic, In Stock and Bow to Toe Packages

In order to take advantage of special quantity pricing available, each package selection must have same style and color placement.

 

ORDER MINIMUMS AND ADDITIONAL UNIFORM ORDER POLICY: MADE TO ORDER UNIFORMS

A minimum order of 4 is required for all made-to-order garments and packages.  We are unable to process individual orders for any made-to-order item.  Additional or fill-in uniforms to match exactly an already fulfilled team order may be purchased for a 30% less-than-minimum upcharge and addtional manufacturing time will apply.  A minimum of 6 applies to all CC Fusion garment orders, and fill-ins of less than 6 will not be accepted.  Uniforms may not be added or deleted to any custom order once it has been placed into Production. Add-on orders will be considered a new order and appropriate manufacturing time and shipping will apply.   Minimums for CC Fusion, monogramming, rhinestones, screenprint, and vinyl apply for all new and add-on orders.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Cheerleading Company recommends washing all uniform items using a mild using mild detergent without bleach and machine wash separately in a full tub of cold water. Remove promptly from washer when cycle is complete. Tumble dry with low heat polyester and Flexstretch items. Hang or lay flat to dry all SpiritFlex and DazzleFlex items. Do not use fabric softener on polyester garments as this may affect the soil release properties. Complete shrinkage and colorfastness cannot be guaranteed because of different laundering processes and absorbent qualities of fabric. Cheerleading Company is not responsible for garments that have been laundered incorrectly. DO NOT DRY CLEAN.
PLEASE SEE OUR CARE INSTRUCTIONS SHEET FOR MORE INFORMATION - Care Instructions PDF

CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SHOES: Clean with mild soapy water and a gentle brush or sponge. Air dry. Do not use harsh cleaning agents or detergents. Do not launder in a washing machine or dryer.

 

LETTERING AND MONOGRAMMING

Please be specific when ordering lettering. Since these are custom-made, we are unable to accept returns. Spelling of names is taken directly from the Order Form. Please print clearly to insure accuracy. Cheerleading Company offers Tackle Twill lettering and Direct Monogramming. Please refer to the styles pictured in this catalog for lettering placements. For Special Lettering styles not shown in this catalog, please email sales@cheerleading.com or submit our contact us form and we will be glad to offer our professional assistance. ***Please note that special monogramming can add 1-2 weeks to you manufacturing time.

 

NEED TO MATCH A PREVIOUS ORDER?

Cheerleading Company will match any previous Cheerleading Company order.  See "ORDER MINIMUMS" section above for ordering minimums of Cheerleading Company designs.  Cheerleading Company does not duplicate designs of other manufacturers.  However, Cheerleading Company's on-site staff of designers may be able to custom-design a uniform that will meet your requirements.  Our minimum order quantity is 24 uniforms new custom patterns or designs.  Additional manufacturing time applies.  Due to fabric limitations, dye lots, and differences in materials, colors between different types of materials and fill-in orders may not be an exact match.

However, a slight shading difference may be noticeable with some materials under different lighting. For free color swatches, email sales@cheerleading.com or submit our contact us form.
