ORDERING
ORDERS
All purchase orders (PO’s) must be in writing on authorized partner’s official PO form or company letterhead. The PO must include the company name, contact name, address, phone number, fax number, item number/name, quantity, unit price, item color, decoration method, decoration color/colors, ship method, ship-to address, ship date, inhands date and any other applicable information. If there is not a price or promo code on the purchase order, standard catalog pricing will be used.
ORDER CHANGES
Any changes made to an order (by phone) after received at factory must be confirmed in writing or by fax and must be approved by the factory prior to the changes becoming effective. Faxing a request without any confirmation by the factory will not be considered a valid change and customer will be billed for the original order. Customer is responsible for any and all incurred costs prior to change approval. If customer does not receive a confirmation of the change it may not have been received or approved.
CONFIRMING ORDERS
All confirming orders must be clearly marked as such. Factory will not be responsible for duplication of orders if “Confirmation” was not clearly marked on order.
CANCELLATION CHARGES
Orders cancelled during production will be charged for the work completed at the time of cancellation plus a $50 (V) cancellation charge.
PRODUCTION TIME
Normal production time on all pad printed, silk-screened, embroidered, full color or laser engraved items is approximately 5-10 working days AFTER artwork and credit approval. USA made and global direct item production times vary.
REORDERS
To ensure exact duplication we recommend you submit our invoice number. If the previous order included an art, die or screen charge, but a change of copy is needed on the new order, it will be necessary to charge a new art, die or screen charge on the new order (except items where no art or die charges apply). Exact imprint color and product cannot be guaranteed on repeat orders. We recommend providing a PMS color for exact matching on new and repeat orders. Global direct orders may have higher repeat set up charges – check with our factory prior to placing an order. Artwork will be kept on file for 24 months. Orders after 24 months will be treated as a new order.
RUSH ORDERS
Orders requiring less than normal production time must be clearly designated and will incur additional fees. Because the factory may need to switch carriers in order to ship on time, 3rd party accounts cannot be used for rush shipments. Production time starts after all approvals have been received by factory, including credit, art, paper proofs and preproduction proofs.

These additional freight charges will be invoiced to the customer in a supplemental invoice 15-60 days after the shipment.
BILLING TO CUSTOMER OR THIRD PARTY ACCOUNT
