Back Orders

Q: What does it mean for an item to be on backorder?
A: Items that are on backorder are items that are normally stocked, but may be low on stock or out of stock at the time of order. Items will return to stock shortly. Your back ordered item, when available will be shipped.

Q: Why didn't the website tell me the item was backordered before I purchased it?
A: We do apologize. Numerous orders are processed each day, while this is no excuse, regrettably backorders do happen. Since we are a national embroidery Company, when a backorder occurs, it is a National Backorder. Meaning the manufacturer of the item is also out of stock on that item. There are two most likely reasons for this. If the quantity of the item you selected is low and multiple orders come in for the same item that exceeds our current stock, then a backorder occurs. Other parts of your order are processed and shipped to you (with your approval) with a packing list that indicates a backorder on that item.

Also, our computer inventory levels may not match our actually inventory levels in the warehouse. It doesn't happen all the time, but to be honest we make a few mistakes from time to time. For example, if our inventory system indicates one case of 100 shirts, size medium royal blue. We should have enough to fill your order, but suppose when the order is actually pulled to be shipped our warehouse discovers the wrong size or color are actually in that box and not the size that you need. A backorder will then occur. We will ship your other items (with your approval) now and when the backordered item is available it will ship to you.

Q: Can I Cancel a Backordered Item?
A: Yes, provided the item has not shipped yet or been customized, we will be happy to cancel any backorder, occasionally a re-stocking fee may apply. Please contact one of our customer service representatives. All cancellations require confirmation from our customer service department at 866-440-2739. We must tell you that the order has been cancelled.

Email Questions

Q: I've written to customer support, but I haven't received a response! Why?
A: There could be several reasons for this however; the most common may be your email spam filter settings. Many email programs have spam filters that mistake our emails or email order receipts as spam. This is especially true if you use AOL, EarthLink, Hotmail, MSN, Yahoo, or any other internet based email program with a spam filter, please check your junk mail folders and trash folder!
