Why Helm & Oar earned a C+
About Helm & Oar
Custom-made prints and matted art seem to be Helm & Oar's specialty, based on a return policy built entirely around production defects rather than simple change-of-mind. Since each piece is made to order rather than pulled from stock, there's no inventory sitting around to swap out if you decide against a purchase later.
That production model shapes the whole policy: you get a full refund only within the first 24 hours after ordering, before the piece goes into production. After that, your only option if something's wrong is a free replacement — for damage, wrong sizing, misprints, or fading — not your money back.
