Wholesale Returns and
Return/Refund Policy
We’re committed to making sure you love your blanket! If something isn’t quite right or you received a damaged item, we’re here to help. Please note that returns and refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis, and outcomes may vary depending on the type and extent of the issue. Our goal is always to find the best possible resolution for each situation.
Step 1: Submit a Return or Replacement Request
-
To begin the process, please fill out our Customer Refund or Replacement Request Form (Begin Your Return Request Here)
-
Include clear photos of the issue and a brief description of the problem.
-
Once your request is reviewed and approved, we’ll send you a return shipping label to send the product back to us.
Option 1: Replacement or Full Refund (Return Required)
If your blanket qualifies, you may receive:
-
A full refund of the wholesale cost (including the original $3.76 shipping fee paid by your school), or
-
A replacement blanket, if available. (See replacement limitations below)
Please Note:
-
Returned blankets are inspected. If the product is lightly flawed but still resalable, it may be categorized as a “factory second” and sold at a discount on our retail site: NubaySoft.com.
-
We do not resell products that fall below our quality standards.
Replacement Limitations:
-
Due to manufacturing minimums (50-piece requirement), a one-off replacement may not always be available.
-
If replacements are not in stock, we may:
-
Offer a credit toward a future school order, or
-
Recommend a refund if a reorder is not planned or the timeline is too long.
-
In some cases, schools or organizations may choose to offer a discount directly to the end customer. This is separate from any credit or refund provided by Spectator Blankets.
Option 2: Partial Refund or Credit (Customer Keeps Product)
If you prefer to keep the blanket despite the issue, we may offer up to a 50% refund or credit off the wholesale price.
To Qualify:
-
Submit a partial refund request online.
-
Include clear photos of the damage and a short written description.
-
We’ll assess the severity and determine the appropriate credit amount.
-
Credit may be applied toward a future invoice or issued as a refund check.
Additional Notes on Returns or Refunds:
-
Color Matching: Due to the nature of CMYK printing, exact Pantone color matching is not always possible. Slight shade shifts may occur when converting Pantone (PMS) colors into CMYK, as the four-color printing process has limitations in reproducing certain spot colors. While we aim for the closest possible match, some variation is expected, especially in vibrant or specialty tones. Additionally, because our blankets are printed in batches, there may be slight color differences from one production run to another. These variations are a normal part of the digital printing process and fall within industry-accepted tolerances. Slight color shifts will not be qualified for returns or refunds.
-
Incorrect colors: Color issues must show a drastic shade shift from the intended design to qualify for a refund or reprint. Minor or expected variations in color do not meet the criteria for replacement. Please note that we do not offer color matching for customer-submitted photographs.
All refunds and replacements are handled on a case-by-case basis. Outcomes may vary depending on the type and extent of the issue. If you have any questions or need help submitting your request, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Retail Sublimated Blanket
Return/Refund Policy
At Spectator Blankets, we take pride in the quality of our products and want you to be satisfied with your purchase. However, due to the nature of our custom print-to-order sublimated blankets, we have specific policies regarding returns and refunds.
Custom Print-to-Order Sublimated Blankets: Since our blankets are made to order, we are unable to accept returns or provide refunds unless the items are damaged or defective upon arrival. Please double-check your order for accuracy in design and size before completing your purchase to ensure everything is correct.
Damaged or Defective Products If your blanket arrives damaged or defective, please follow these steps to resolve the issue:
-
Submit a Return Request: Complete our online return form and include clear photos of the damage or defect. (Begin Your Return Request Here)
-
Review Process: Once your request is received, we will review the submitted information. If the issue qualifies, we will offer either a replacement or a refund.
-
Shipping: We will provide a return shipping label for the return of the damaged or defective blanket. You will need to ship the item back to us before a refund or replacement is processed.
Refund or Replacement Options
If your product qualifies for a refund or replacement, you can choose from the following:
-
Full Refund: A full refund of the wholesale cost, including the original shipping fee.
-
Replacement Blanket: If the issue qualifies and replacement is available, we will send you a new blanket.
No Color Matching for Customer-Submitted Photos For blankets made from customer-submitted photos, please note that we do not offer color matching. The blankets are printed using the exact color profiles supplied in the original photo. As a result, colors may vary slightly from what you see on your screen or in print.
Final Notes
-
Our return policy is limited to defective or damaged products only.
-
Custom orders cannot be returned or refunded unless there is a significant issue with damage or printing.
-
Minor color variations are common, especially for sublimated and custom-printed items.
-
Please note that sublimated blankets are produced through a different manufacturing process than our original factory prints. As a result, they may look and feel different compared to the direct print wholesale blankets. We do not accept returns on sublimated blankets based on personal preferences regarding their appearance or texture.
