What Your Payment Covers
The $5 payment covers a quote request only, not a finished costume or prop. Request a costume, props, or both, and specify the pieces you need. We confirm the final commission price, production estimate and shipping details by email after reviewing your design. If your commission proceeds, the $5 quote request fee is applied toward your final order total.
Choosing Rush submits a rush request; it does not reserve a production slot or include a confirmed rush fee. Deadline feasibility and any additional fee are confirmed before payment for the commission.

Final Confirmation & Shipping
Once completed, we will provide finished photos and/or videos for your review. After confirmation, your commission will be carefully packed and shipped, and tracking information will be provided.
Production Timeline
Most commissions require approximately 2–6 months depending on complexity, materials, custom sizing, and our current production queue.
Rush orders are always available to request. Deadline feasibility and any additional fee are confirmed before payment. Include your required arrival date with your quote request.
Production timelines are estimates. Carrier delays, customs processing, and other circumstances outside our control may affect final delivery.
Shipping
Standard U.S. shipping generally takes 5–10 business days after dispatch. International delivery varies by destination and customs processing.
Some commissions may ship directly from our international workshop to improve delivery efficiency.
Customers are responsible for providing accurate shipping information, monitoring tracking, and paying applicable customs duties, taxes, or import fees. Once a package has been transferred to the carrier, transit time and carrier handling are outside Cakycos's control.
Special Requests & References
We encourage customers to provide reference images, fabric preferences, allergy concerns, construction preferences, design details, and examples of their desired styling.
References from other creators are used for inspiration only and may require permission from the original creator.
Because each commission is handmade, exact replication cannot be guaranteed and minor artistic or construction variations may occur.
Sizing
Most costume commissions are custom-sized. Customers are responsible for providing complete and accurate measurements.
Fit may vary slightly due to body proportions, posture, fabric characteristics, and how the costume is worn.
Please inform us before production begins of any specific requirements regarding garment length, fabric, stretch, comfort, mobility, or fit. Changes cannot be guaranteed after production has started.
Pricing
Commission pricing includes labor, base materials, and standard construction. Shipping is calculated separately based on package size, weight, destination, and insurance requirements.
Final pricing may change due to material availability, approved design revisions, changes in complexity, or rush requests.
Quote Request Fees
If we cannot agree on a final quote, your Quote Request fee will be refunded in full. If you agree to keep the quote request open for a future order, we retain it instead of refunding the fee. The refund exception applies to 10 or more price inquiries for the same item without committing to an order. If the commission proceeds, the fee will be applied toward your final order total.
Warranty & Returns
All costumes and props are handmade-to-order unless otherwise stated. Due to their custom nature, returns, exchanges, and refunds are not accepted once production has started.
If your package arrives visibly damaged, please photograph/video the unopened packaging before removing or wearing the item and contact info@cakycos.com promptly.
For shipping damage claims, we may require an unboxing video, exterior packaging photos, and photos of the item's condition.
Warranty or damage review may be affected if the item is worn, packaging is substantially altered, or internal securing materials are removed before the damage is documented.
Additional Policies
Repeated quote requests, excessive revisions, or substantial project changes without commitment may result in future requests being declined.
Production availability is limited, particularly during convention and high-demand seasons. Customers are responsible for communicating and confirming event deadlines before payment.
Cakycos reserves the right to decline, cancel, or refund a commission at our discretion.
