Customer Help Center and FAQ

Orders

Once you have placed your order online, we have an in-house average processing time of 3-10 business days, though it may take up to 7-14 days during busy periods and festive seasons. As most of our items are custom and individually handcrafted, we need to ensure that they are perfect and error-free before they are shipped to you.

After processing your order, shipping takes about 4-8 business days, depending on your location. If you require your order to be rushed, you might want to choose the express shipping option at the checkout. International orders will take 14 to 21 business days to ship.

Yes you will! All orders that are shipped through overnight, express, and standard shipping methods will always have tracking. Once your order is shipped you will receive a confirmation email containing your tracking number. Please allow tracking numbers 24 hours to update.

Yes, you will receive a confirmation email after you place your order and another email after your order is shipped.

Our quality assurance team makes sure that all products are in good condition before they are sent out. However there will always be a couple of cases where the poor condition ones are missed out.

If you received defective or incorrect items, send a photo of the damaged goods to help@madeinagape.com, we will then gladly assist you and send a replacement to you at no cost.

We are not taking single custom orders at this point of time. However if you require 100 pieces or more of custom item, please email us and we will see what we can do for you. If you have a verse or phrase that you wish for it to appear in one of our apparel designs, please email us help@madeinagape.com. We keep track of our customers’ requests so your idea could be considered if there’s enough request for it.

Placing an available item in your shopping cart and/or wishlist does not reserve that item. Available inventory is only assigned to your order after you place your order and receive an e-mail confirmation that we've received your order.

Made In Agapé™ holds no responsibility for any such duties, charges or value added taxes that might be imposed by any relevant tax authority. Any such value added taxes or duties may be charged to and payable by customers in addition to the price stated for the products on this website.

Each item that we ship may have different delivery times. This is because some products are packaged and shipped separately. For example we send our posters in super-durable tubes, but a canvas won't fit in there.

Products

It simply means that it is hand made and customized specially for you alone and no one else. It also means that these items take a longer time to produce in our warehouse with a processing time of 3-10 business days before shipment.

All customers are charged at the point of purchase as this is how the payment system works.

We try to do our best to minimize waste in packaging and source eco-friendly packaging materials. Many of our packaging materials are either recyclable or biodegradable. Bubble wraps are made from a minimum of 15% recycled plastic and 10% post-consumer content. Our kraft tubes are made from 70-100% post-consumer recycled content and 0-30% secondary recycled content.

When unpacking your shirts or hoodies, you might notice a vinegar-like smell or an off-white residue. Do not worry, that's not unusual - it's from a fixation agent applied during the printing process and it's not permanent. Fixation agent (sometimes known as pre-treatment) is used for all DTG (direct to garment) prints across the industry. It helps the ink bond with the fabric, and without it, the ink would flake off the garment.

The solution is simply to wash the garment! Neither the residue nor the smell is permanent. Both should go away after one wash.

Some of our all over print crews may contain some white lines or irregularities along the seams or under the armpit of the sleeves due to the printing technology. This is normal as the technology allows us to produce those vibrant all over designs. Each item is a unique, 1-of-a-kind product, printed exclusively for the customer who ordered it.

Proposition 65, officially the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, is a law that requires warnings be provided to California consumers when they might be exposed to chemicals identified by California as causing cancer or reproductive toxicity. The warnings are intended to help California consumers make informed decisions about their exposures to these chemicals from the products they use. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) administers the Proposition 65 program and publishes the listed chemicals, which includes more that 850 chemicals. In August 2016, OEHHA adopted new regulations, effective on August 30, 2018, which change the information required in Proposition 65 warnings.

We are providing the following warning for products linked to this page. These are the products that contain the chemicals on the list:

All-Over Print Premium Pillow and Pillow Case

These products can expose you to chemicals including Abiraterone acetate, which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. The chemical is used to make the pillow fabric water-resistant, so the pillows could be used outdoors. If you don't plan to use the pillows outdoors, you can choose our All-Over Print Basic Pillows and Pillow Cases that are made from a different fabric which doesn't contain the chemicals.

Posters and framed posters

These products can expose you to chemicals including Carbon-black extracts, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer.

Proposition 65 and its regulations are posted at https://oehha.ca.gov/proposition-65/law/proposition-65-law-and-regulations

Yes! We do accept application for wholesale. If you are interested to apply for a wholesaler account for Made In Agapé™ products, please fill up the Christian T-Shirts Wholesale Application Form here and we will get back to you as soon as we can!

Care For Products

Our shirts are preshrunk and they should not shrink if washed with proper way. In order for you to prolong the life of your custom print, we suggest following the care instructions below:

Printed apparel (direct-to-garment)

We recommend our customers to turn their shirts inside out, gentle machine cycle and wash them individual with mild detergent in cold water for first couple of washes. For consecutive washes, you may want to wash the shirts with similar-color apparel in cold water with mild detergent. Use non-chlorine bleach, only when necessary. Tumble dry low, or hang-dry for longest life. No fabric softeners. Cool iron inside-out if necessary. Do not iron decoration. Do not dry clean.

Be wary of washing and drying on a high setting, especially when the garment is 100% cotton. High-temperature washes can fade and crack the print, and a high-temperature dryer settings can shrink the garment, as well as damage the print.

Embroidered apparel (such as shirts, hats, beanies)

Embroidered shirts also can be machine-washed cold and inside-out on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and similar colors. You can use a small amount of chlorine bleach, but non-chlorine is the safer option. If you notice any color residue in water, rinse the garment in lukewarm water and then in cold several times, but try not to rub any stained embroidery. Embroidered clothing can also be dry-cleaned.

After washing, don't leave the clothing soaking, or lying in a pile while wet. Do not wring out the embroidered articles, but if you want to tumble-dry them, use a cool air setting.

If the garment needs ironing, do it inside-out, preferably between two pieces of cloth. You shouldn't wet embroidery before ironing or use a steam iron.

All-over printed apparel

All-over printed apparel can be machine-washed cold with like colors, but without bleach. You can tumble-dry the apparel on low heat. It can't be ironed or dry-cleaned.

Mugs

Our white mugs are microwave and dishwasher safe. Matte black magic mugs, however, should only be hand-washed, and you can't put them in a microwave. Note that they're also prone to scratches, so be extra careful.

Posters and Canvas

To ensure that your posters and canvas last for a long time, don’t keep them in direct sunlight or outdoors. They can be gently dusted with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster.

We are aware that there are websites that try to sell knockoffs of our products. We DO NOT authorize them to sell any of our merchandises. Me and my team worked very hard to come out with the designs and products for our brand, so we do not wish to see other sites selling fake and lower quality ones. So please do us a favour by reporting them to us at report@madeinagape.com if you come across such websites. Appreciate your help!
