ORDERING FROM US

We believe in providing excellent customer service, and that requires teamwork. Each one of our clients is assigned a team that consists of an account executive, order processor, and graphic designer. The account executive is your point of contact and will help you find the product and design that best fits your need. The graphic designer works with you to create your design and will send you the art proofs for your project. The order processor will be in touch with you regarding pricing, sales order approval, and any communication regarding the production of your order.

ORDERING AND PRODUCTION

Normal production time for printed apparel and promotion product is 12-14 business days after both the art proof and the sales order have been approved. Shipping time is not considered in production time. All orders are shipped directly to the client, pickup orders are not allowed. Order approvals received after 2:00pm CST will be processed the following business day. Orders requiring production time of 5 business days or less after all approvals will be considered a rush order and will be subject to a Rush Fee. Rush orders must be approved before the project is started. UPS shipping charges will be applied to the order, a tracking number is included. Shipping time is not considered in the production time.

We accept orders by email. To eliminate errors, we are not able to accept order quantities by phone.
Please submit, by email, all projects using our project order forms which may be found on our website at 413sga.com or from your account executive. Please include the desired in-hands date, sizes, and quantities when placing an order. Projects without complete information may cause delays in receiving an art proof.
All projects will be entered into art for proof scheduling based upon time of receipt.
Changes to art proofs after the art and sales order have been approved, but before they have been submitted for production, will result in an order change fee of $10 per order change. Example: the art proof and sales order have been approved for processing. A change to the art is now desired resulting in a revision to the original art proof. This will result in a $10 order change fee.
Additions to any order already approved and in production will be considered a “new order”.

Ordering Product Samples

Blank samples may be ordered on most apparel and promotional product items. Fees and shipping charges will apply on all sample orders. A refund or returns for samples are not available.

Can I order multiple shirt colors?

Yes, as long as your design remains the same on each shirt color, you can order more than one color.

Can I order multiple shirt styles?

Yes, you can mix shirt styles within the same order, however, we will advise if the chosen design will fit and display correctly on each chosen garment style.

Art Proofs

We provide art proofs for all projects. Your art proof needs to be approved before moving into production. Typically, you should expect to receive an art proof within 1-2 business days. Our artists will email a link for all art proofs and you can approve it, or you may submit any changes by clicking the link to “decline” the proof and enter your art change information. Any changes to an art proof must be made through the emailed link. We do not take approvals via phone or email to reduce errors and/or confusion.

Excessive art proof fee of $10 per additional art proof requested after 3 proof revisions have been requested by the client will apply.
If you would like a different ink color for part of your order, we can do that. The Ink Change fee is $15.00 per color.

Apparel orders consisting of adult AND youth sizes will be considered two separate orders due to the need for separate print screen sizes.

Will I receive a sales order?

Yes, we provide sales orders for all projects. Sales orders need to be approved before moving the order into production. You will receive the sales order for approval after the art proof has been approved. Once the sales order and art proof have been approved and the order has been submitted into production, no further changes can be made. Any additions to the order must be submitted as a new order, which is not subject to the same pricing. Sales orders are a legal contract and cannot be canceled once approved and moved into production.
