What a Great Decision

Hey there! Thanks for your order - you made a great choice - but we get it that your item(s) might just not have worked out for you. No problem! You have 7 days from when you receive your order to get the item(s) back in the mail to us (so, we do not need to get it back in 7 days – you need to put it in a mail receptacle (or FedEx or UPS or whatever service you want to use) in 7 days). Even price-slashed clearance items – we won’t make you keep them like other retailers – you can return those too (but for exchange only - see below). Just get them posted in time. There are just a few Last Call Sale items that cannot be returned - these are clearly marked. We are sure you get it that with prices and style choices constantly changing we can’t take stuff back forever. We asked a bunch of our customers what they though was a fair amount of time to try on an item, make a decision, and get to a mailbox, and they thought 7 days was plenty of time.  Thanks you guys for your input!

Want to exchange your item(s)? Sure thing! Let us know on your exchange form what you want. If you want faster processing so you get your exchange items faster, email us and give us a heads up what is coming back and what you want in return. Same 7 day policy as above applies. Please do NOT send an exchange back for a refund and place a new order. Funds from the original order must be used on the exchange to avoid a 10% restocking fee which is otherwise waived. We are sorry we need to do this, but the credit card fees we have to pay are not refundable and a double charge and refund incurs costs that need to be passed on.

Want a refund? Again, no problem! Refunds are available on items that are NOT price-slashed clearance items (exchangeable only - see above) or Last Call Sale items (cannot be returned - see above). You have 7 days from when you receive your order to get the item(s) back in the mail to us (so, we do not need to get it back in 7 days – you need to put it in a mail receptacle (or FedEx or UPS or whatever service you want to use) in 7 days). We will refund your original form of payment (see exceptions below). Give us about a week from the time we get your package, and then give the credit card company time to process the refund.

The Nitty Gritty

Whether it is an exchange or a return, there are a couple of things you need to do and need to know:

·      Print out and use the form linked further down the page – our return address is down there too.

·      You have to return the item(s) in new, resalable condition in the original packaging with hang tags and scrunchies, if applicable, still attached in their original position and condition.

·      If it is a leotard or clothing you are exchanging or returning, you can’t have worn or laundered the item(s).

·      All sewn in tags must be attached in their original position and condition.

Yeah, some people cut of the hangtag and the inside size tag, wear it for a practice, and try to send it back – sorry we can’t take those items back – so make sure to try them on and make sure they fit before you take the tags off!

·      You will need to pay to ship the item(s) back to us. We will refund the price you paid for the item(s) less the original shipping paid. If you got free shipping when you originally ordered because your order was over $75 (US), and your return results in your order total going below $75, we will refund the item(s) less the $5.95 shipping that would now be due since your order doesn’t meet the minimum $ requirement for free shipping. Shipping on exchange items will be charged.

o      underwear/briefs, since those are personal items and nobody wants undies that someone else has tried on, right?!

o.     grips, wristsavers, pins, bears, and gift items are final clearance sale and can’t be returned 

o      clearance priced leotards can be returned for exchange only - no refunds | Last Call items (they are clearly marked) cannot be exchanged or returned)

o      opened DVDs, yeah we can’t resell a used DVD

o      special orders/team orders (4 or more of the same leotard or clothing item)/personalized items which are made to your specifications

·      If you think your item is defective, you need to email us. Send pictures. Explain what you think is wrong with the item. Don’t return the item without getting a return authorization email. If the manufacturer agrees an item is defective, it will be repaired or replaced, at the manufacturers or our discretion, and return postage covered – but don’t worry about all that now – we will give you details when we email back and forth about any possible defect. This process takes anywhere from 2 - 12 weeks, so please be patient as we try to help you by dealing with the manufacturer on your behalf. We did not manufacture the item so can't make the determination, but we will sure help you try to get the situation corrected. Sizing differs between manufacturers, and even within the same manufacturer depending on style and fabric. Sizing issues will not be considered defects and returns and exchanges for sizing follow our regular exchange and return policy. And make sure to read manufacturer washing and pilling policies – we can tell you in advance that if an item is washed incorrectly, or a sublimated item pills, the manufacturers won’t cover them. We put a copy of GK’s pilling policy at the bottom of this page for you to read. Since all the manufacturers have different washing instructions, make sure to read those before washing any garment.

Unfortunately, due to high international shipping costs, if you are an international customer, unless you would like to pay for return-to-us and return-to-you shipping, all sales are final or returnable/exchangeable pursuant to our return/exchange (not defect) policy only.

Wait! I put my package in the trunk of my car and forgot about it and it is a month later and it doesn’t fit!!! Help!!! Okay, since you asked nicely, if you miss the 7 day return period, shoot us an email and we will see what we can do. We probably can give you store credit – just depends on how long it has been and what you have. No promises, but we like to keep our customers happy, so we will try our best! If credit is given, it will be for the current selling price of the item.

Complete the form below and include it with your return item(s).

Pilling

Wait! What is pilling? “Pills” appear on the surface of fabric when groups of short or broken fibers on the surface of the fabric become tangled together in a tiny ball - a pill. The pills form because of rubbing or abrasion during normal wear and use. It even may look like the color came off the fabric and there is a little white spot.

GK Pilling Policy “Pilling may occur on PolyTek and SubFuse Sublimated fabrics when it comes in contact with any other rough surface (examples are mats, grips, floor mats, etc.). The back/bottom area of the garment tends to pill easier than other areas. Unfortunately this is an issue we cannot avoid due to the nature of the fabric. Elite Sportswear will not be responsible for replacing or repairing your garment if pilling occurs.”
