HandmadeByHeroes.com paracord products are handmade to order so we will build your item after we received your order. Completion of order typically takes 10-14 business days before it is shipped. Your card/account will be charged at the time you place your order.

Discount Codes

From time to time we offer discount codes to our customers. If you have made a purchase before, it is possible for you to receive more than one discount or promotional code. However, it is not possible to use more than one discount codes at the same time in one order. Discount codes also do not apply on orders with items on special offer.

NOTE: Discount codes can only be applied on purchases made online through handmadebyheroes.com and not for orders made over the phone. 

Shipping Disclaimer

Please be aware that we are no longer responsible for the items once they are shipped. We use the United States Postal Service to ship items out and provide you with a tracking number so you can track your order and know when to expect your package. Once your shipment has left our facility, you assume full responsibility for your package. 

Handmade By Heroes will not be able to refund, reimburse or resend items that are lost or stolen.

Order Acceptance Policy

Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order for any reason or to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item.

Changes to Orders
Changes to orders are accepted if they are requested within: 

- 24 hours when placed on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday
- 72 hours when placed on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday

Change requests outside the above specified periods will require a remake fee to cover the expense of our veterans re-building your product.  

Once you place your order, we typically send the order to our veterans the next day. Change to bracelet size or colors (for non-sport themed bracelets) beyond the set time limits cause our cost to go up because new paracord will need to be cut to the new bracelet length or the paracord replaced with different colors. 

Please refer to our size guide when ordering a bracelet and review your order before completing to make sure everything is correct.

About the charms

We have graphic artists on board who design the emblems  

About Our Paracord Bracelets

Our paracord bracelets are hand made by our team of Disabled Military Veterans.

A combination of 450 pound test and 550 pound test paracords are used to create the bracelets you wear and use. We combine the cords because some colors that are available in 450 test paracords are not available in 550 test paracords.

A 550 paracord is nominally rated with a minimum breaking strength of 550 pounds while a 450 paracord has a minimum breaking strength of 450 pounds.

We offer the option for ‘gutted’ paracord bracelets for buyers who prefer a thinner, less bulky looking bracelet. We also use gutted paracord for child-size bracelets, or any size lesser than 7 inches. Gutted paracords have their inner strands removed so that the outer nylon sheath is all that remains. Bracelets created from this type of paracord can still be unraveled and used in an emergency situation but the tensile strength of gutted cords are lesser than that of regular 450 or 550 paracords at only 250 pounds.

Submission of Artwork for Custom Paracord Bracelet and Keychain

You may request HandmadeByHeroes.com to create a bracelet or keychain for you that has a personalized or customized emblem on the charm for an additional charge of $15 USD. This is a once-off fee.

Please note that by submitting an image to be used for a custom bracelet or key chain, you are agreeing that you have authorization to use the image and that you are providing HandmadeByHeroes.com permission to print any copyrighted material. 

We do not advise the use of copyrighted logos for the custom bracelet and keychain if you have no authorization. We reserve the right to  not print artwork that are protected by copyright laws. If, after a review, your submission is rejected, you will be notified and a full refund will be processed.

Examples of artwork that might be protected by copyright and trademark laws and for which we require confirmation that you have authorization to use it:
