You have a limited window to modify your order before production begins. Once production starts (typically within 4 hours of payment), most changes are no longer possible because every Pro Lab product is custom-made.
Modification window timeline
Time After Order | Order Status | Modifications Possible? |
0–2 hours | Order Received | ✅ YES — Contact support immediately |
2–4 hours | Order Processing | ⚠️ MAYBE — Depends if production started |
4–24 hours | In Production | ❌ NO — Cannot stop printing |
24+ hours | In Production / Quality Check | ❌ NO — Too late to modify |
What can be modified (if within the window)
Allowed modifications at the Order Received stage
- ✅ Shipping address — change delivery location
- ✅ Mobile number — update contact info
Cannot be modified once ordered
- ❌ Page count — cannot add or remove pages
- ❌ Book size — cannot change dimensions
- ❌ Cover type — cannot switch cover styles
- ❌ Paper finish — cannot change glossy to matte
- ❌ Binding type — cannot switch photo book to layflat
- ❌ Add promo code — if you forgot to apply
- ❌ Design changes — fix typos, swap photos
Reason: These are structural elements built into manufacturing from the start.
Cancellation policy
Once ordered, custom-made products cannot be cancelled or refunded. Production begins shortly after payment to maintain Pro Lab's fast turnaround promise.
