FAQ

Overview of the Ordering Process

Once you place your order and send in your artwork, within 24-48hrs you’ll receive an ‘e-proof’ showing your artwork on a mockup of the item(s) you’re purchasing. At that time, you’ll have the opportunity to approve it, or make suggestions for changes and improvements. Once you’ve approved the art, we will process your order. Keep in mind the charges will not change from what was shown in the order confirmation you received at the start of the process unless something has changed (quantity, additional imprint colors or quicker shipping) – and then only if you’ve approved them in advance.

Remember, NOTHING goes into production without your approval!

General Ordering Information

What if I receive more or less than I ordered?
We charge you only for what you ordered. In the unlikely event, we ship fewer than ordered; you’ll be charged only for what you received.

Can I cancel or change my order?
You may cancel at any time before production. For apparel orders, there will be a 15% restocking fee charge plus the cost of shipping the garments back to the supplier. Once items have been imprinted with your logo, we can no longer accept a cancellation. If you need to change your order for any reason, please contact your Customer Service Representative and they’ll be happy to assist you.

What are set up charges?
Most of the items we offer have ‘set-up’ charges (screen charges, die charges, etc.). It is important to note these are NOT art charges. These are charges to create the screen, die or other necessary items to imprint your specific logo.

If I reorder an item will I pay set-up charges again?
Yes there is a set up charge for re-orders (except for embroidery), but it is at a discount. Once we’ve done your logo in a digitized format for embroidery, we don’t charge you a new tape or digitizing charge to embroider any other item.

Will I see a proof before my order goes into production?
Yes, unless it is an exact reorder, you always see a virtual ‘e-proof’ of your item which must be approved by you before we proceed.

Do you charge sales tax?
We collect all applicable taxes for goods and services shipped into Florida. Customers in other states may be required to remit use taxes. If your organization is exempt, please supply your Customer Service Representative with your resale or tax-exempt certificate.

Can I order in quantities smaller or larger than those shown?
Most of the time the minimum quantity shown is the required minimum, although we encourage you to call if your requirements mean you need fewer items so we can offer assistance if possible. If you need to order more than the quantities shown, please call 855-855-5359 as additional discounts may be available.

What if I don’t see the product I’m looking for?
