We do not take repair requests outside of the 3 month initial warranty. If you need repairs on your suit made by The Prize Counter, you will need to find a different maker to receive them.
Any modifications made to the fursuit by anyone other than The Prize Counter may void the warranty.
Premades Bought in person
Due to the nature of buying a premade fursuit in person - Any repairs needed will be looked at on a case by case basis and will not always fall into the regular warranty guidelines. Your request for repairs may be denied.
Please always take time to consider your purchase and fully go over the premade suit you are interested in before buying to ensure you are okay with the construction and imperfections.
