Geeky Mysteries Unveiled (FAQ's)
Products
Are products in stock and ready to ship?
At MakeItGeeky, we operate on a print-to-order model, which means we do not maintain an inventory of pre-made products. Instead, we begin the production process once an order is placed. This approach allows us to offer a wide range of unique designs and customizations while minimizing waste. Although this means that our products are not immediately ready to ship, we strive to process and create your items as quickly as possible to ensure timely delivery. Please note that processing times may vary based on the complexity of the item and order volume.
Will you restock items indicated as “out of stock?”
If an item you would like to purchase is marked as out of stock, please contact us to get an ETA or place a custom order.
Will I receive the same product that I see in the picture?
While we strive to ensure that the product images on our website accurately represent the items you receive, please keep in mind that each piece we create is made to order and may have minor variations due to the nature of 3D printing and the production process. We take great care in crafting and inspecting each item to ensure it meets our high-quality standards. Although there might be slight differences between the product image and the final product, rest assured that we are committed to delivering unique, high-quality geeky items that closely resemble the images you see on our website.
Do you design all your products?
While we do not create all of our product designs in-house, we collaborate closely with talented designers who grant us commercial use rights for their designs. Our partnerships span various platforms, including memberships, Patreon, and other services, ensuring that we consistently offer a diverse and unique range of products for our customers. This approach allows us to support the creative community while delivering the high-quality, geeky items you love.
What if my model has a flaw or is damaged?
Due to the nature of 3D printing, it is important to understand that no two prints will ever be 100% identical, and some minor flaws may occur. We thoroughly inspect all orders to ensure they meet our quality standards before shipping. However, as our products are made to order, most items are non-refundable.
We take great pride in our work and want our customers to be satisfied with their purchase. If you have concerns about a potential flaw in your model, please reach out to us, and we will review the issue on a case-by-case basis. Please note that we reserve the final decision on accepting returns or processing refunds.
