Policies

Decoration Only

The below-listed manufacturers require decoration for all products sold through blankstyle.com. You will be unable to checkout without adding decoration.

This policy is mandated by the manufacturer and is out of blankstyle.com's control. We understand that you may be a decorator. Please consider our low decoration prices as a possibility for outsourcing your decoration services. We can ship blind to your customer upon request. If this does not work for you, there are many manufacturers who do not require us to decorate the product and have excellent product line selections. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need comparable suggestions.

Missing Goods

Blank Orders

Do not be alarmed if you receive a package that does not contain your entire order. It is likely you will receive the balance of your order within the next few days. You can check tracking by logging into your account.

It is our goal to ensure you receive everything you ordered accurately and in a timely fashion. Claims for missing goods must be made within 30 days from the date you placed your order. We are unable to investigate claims for missing goods after 30 days.

If you elect to ship your goods to a third party, such as a decorator, rather than receive them yourself, and a dispute arises regarding missing or incorrectly shipped goods within the allotted thirty days, we will do our best to investigate. It is important to note that if the order is sent to a third party and the tracking details show the packages as delivered successfully to that third party, you will be responsible for sorting out any missing packages with your third party as Blankstyle cannot be held responsible for how a third party handles your order. The resolution will be determined based on our shipping records.

Decoration Orders

If you believe your blankstyle.com decoration order is missing goods above and beyond the allowable shortage, you should follow the instructions listed below to create a missing goods claim.

Instructions

Visit your order history page. View your order history then click on the order for which you are missing goods. Click on report missing items and then fill out the form.

Please be sure to include ALL MISSING GOODS on your missing goods claim. We are only able to investigate one missing goods claim per order.

Lost Packages

Shipping carriers are up to 99% error-free in delivering however there are occasionally packages that are lost prior to or after delivery. We know that receiving the merchandise you ordered is of the utmost importance. When a package is lost in transit we will take all necessary steps to help locate and deliver the missing package as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that blankstyle.com cannot be held responsible for delays caused by acts of God or the shipping carrier. If you have an important date to meet shipping is a risk you take in meeting that date.

Lost packages happen for a couple of reasons and as such have unique resolutions.

Lost in transit

Occasionally due to sorting errors, inclement weather, or simple misplacement packages are lost by the carrier. In these cases, the tracking number will generally indicate an “exception” with notes as to why the package has not been delivered. Generally, these packages are eventually found and delivered.

What we will do:

We will open an investigation with UPS which takes 7-10 days to complete. The carrier typically will find and deliver your package within this timeframe. In the case your package is not found we will either refund you or replace your order.

What you can do:

  • Check with your neighbors as sometimes packages are mistakenly delivered next door.
  • File a police report. (This may be necessary if the carrier is unable to validate your claim)
  • Contact your credit card company with the police report as many purchases are covered under a buyer’s protection plan free of charge.

Stolen

Instances of porch piracy are on the rise.

Porch piracy refers to your packages being successfully delivered and then subsequently stolen. This is a case of theft and not the fault of blankstyle.com or the shipping carrier and we recommend you contact your local police and report the theft immediately. There are a few things we will attempt on your behalf and a few things you can do on your own.

If your shipping location may be at risk for porch piracy please request to sign for your package in order comments at checkout.

What you can do:

  • Check with your neighbors as sometimes packages are mistakenly delivered next door.
  • File a police report. (This may be necessary if the carrier is unable to validate your claim)
  • Contact your credit card company with the police report as many purchases are covered under a buyer’s protection plan free of charge.

What we will do:

We will file a claim with the carrier and attempt to retrieve credit for the stolen package. If successful we will refund you. Resolution times for these types of claims can be lengthy. Because these packages have typically been delivered by the carrier, there are no guarantees we will be successful in obtaining this credit.
 

We know that you may be working on a tight deadline with no time to wait for the investigative process to complete. Unfortunately because oftentimes lost packages are found and delivered during the investigative process we cannot simply send you out a replacement order at no charge while the investigation progresses.

We can help out by waiving ground shipping on a replacement order and we can return the original order free of charge if it ends up being found and delivered.

Shipping carriers do occasionally require a signature for delivery based on the driver's discretion. If this happens most carriers will leave you notice of attempted delivery and a method for retrieving your package before returning the package undeliverable. A driver's discretion to require a signature from the recipient is out of blankstyle.com's control, packages returned undeliverable fall under the blankstyle.com Undeliverable Orders policy.

Undeliverable Orders

Undeliverable orders will not be re-shipped to you and will be processed as a return. A store credit or a refund will be issued so that you can re-order. Costs associated with the return may be deducted from your refund.

Decoration Services

At blankstyle.com we offer three main methods of decoration. Embroidery, Screen printing, and Direct to Garment printing. To add a decoration select "Add Decoration" from inside the shopping cart. You will be prompted for a small amount of information related to your order and subsequently, a quote from which you can checkout will generate.

Proofing policies

As a standard procedure, we will send you a proof for approval within 24-48 hours from the time payment is made, and prior to decoration. The proof we send you will reflect the actual artwork that will be decorated. Artwork is proofed to scale on virtual garments that are proportionate to your actual garments ordered. We will come as close as we can to matching the decorated garments to the approved virtual mock-up. Due to decoration tolerances, and garment variance, both in size, color, and construction, artwork size and location may vary on your finished product.

You will need to closely inspect the proof we provide, as it is representative of the artwork used in decoration. If you want to make changes to artwork sizing, please note the dimensions shown on the proof, and request dimensional changes. If you want to specify artwork color please do so in solid coated Pantone colors. If you do not specify Pantones we will do our best to match the colors in your design to a Pantone color. Keep in mind most monitors are not color corrected and therefore will not accurately or uniformly display colors. If you need your decoration to reflect a specific shade of color please reference a Pantone book prior to specifying a Pantone color. We allow you to print the same logo on multiple garments or color versions of the same garment within the same decoration run! If you elect to take advantage of this unique opportunity, you also must be aware that any one Pantone may print in a slightly different shade depending on the color of the garment it is printed on.

We will not start the decoration process until we receive your written proof of approval. Your written proof approval is your agreement to the artwork shown in the colors specified within tolerance as sized and shown on the proofed garment.

Top of Production Samples

If you feel a virtual mock-up is not satisfactory, and prefer to be exact with regards to your design on specific garments, we can provide you with a top-of-production sample. Add the garment you would like to sample to your shopping cart select the decoration you would like to complete from the drop-down in the shopping cart. You will be priced according to the number of pieces in your shopping cart. Screenprint orders under 24 pieces are priced as sample orders, Embroidery orders under 12 pieces are priced as sample orders, Direct to garment orders under 6 pieces are priced as sample orders.

Processing Time Frames

At checkout, we will provide you with delivery estimates along with expedited shipping options. Decoration orders typically take from 5-7 business days in process. We ship UPS ground as a standard method which can take an additional 1-5 days depending on your location. If you have an important date you need to meet and don't see an option to meet that date at checkout, please leave us an order comment and we will get back to you with options. By standard practice, we will do everything we can to accommodate your deadline without charging you anything additional. However, if processing time has to be less than five days, there may be a rush fee associated, and if shipping needs to expedited in order to reach you in time there may be expedited shipping charges.

Rush Processing

If we agree to rush your order, we will do our best to ensure the order reaches you by your need date. We guarantee you will receive your goods by your in-hand need date or we will refund your rush processing. Because of the shortened production time, it is critical that we are able to contact you at any time between the hours of 7 am and 4 pm pacific standard time. Please let us know if you have a preferred email address or phone number we should be using. Each time we attempt to reach you without success, and every day we wait for approval after providing a proof your order may be delayed up to one business day. If for any reason the order does not deliver by your need date you will be refunded the rush fees but not the shipping fees. Decoration orders are non-cancelable non-returnable regardless of the date they deliver.

Artwork Policies

By standard practice, we will work with whatever art you provide to make it print-ready free of charge. If art is not in vector format or if the request is complex, we offer a graphics service for $60/hr. A standard logo takes roughly a half hour's work to fully vector for print. Under standard policy color separation for print is provided free of charge however if the artwork is complex there may be separation charges. We will never charge you for artwork without first reaching out for approval.

Printing Methods

There are many different screenprint processes that require the use of different inks to create a specific look or feel. Unless otherwise specified we print using a plastisol-based ink. If you would like to create a certain look or feel or have a question about what your finished products will look or feel like using different ink mediums, please ask a representative for suggestions. When you receive your proof if you have elected to use any ink other than plastisol, that proof should specify the ink you are using prior to your approval. If you approve a proof that does not specify an ink medium, you are approving a plastisol print. Keep in mind inks other than plastisol may be an additional charge.

Decoration Tolerances

We will attempt to match coloring according to solid coated Pantones or thread color. We will size and place according to the approved mockup. Custom garment decoration is not an exact science, placement and image size may vary by up to one-half inch garment to garment, and coloring may vary by one-half shade run to run. In addition due to differences in equipment, ink, threads, and fabric designs can vary slightly in appearance run to run. This is especially true when re-printing on different garment types or colors.

We cannot guarantee a perfect match to a previous run under any circumstance. We will however attempt to match a previous garment by adjusting during the decoration process if we are made aware in advance and if the garment we are matching is provided for reference. Decorations within tolerance will not be considered defective.

Direct To Garment Printing

We offer Direct to Garment printing as an effective solution for our customers who would like to produce a small number of shirts. This process is especially effective when printing lots of color. In traditional screen printing a screen must be burned per color printed and at $20 plus dollars per screen, fixed prices add up fast making most high color small run jobs unaffordable. Although Direct to garment is a great alternative to screen printing there are a couple of drawbacks.

  • The machine's color profile dictates the colors printed much like your desktop inkjet printer it is impossible for us to match colors exactly, unfortunately, we cannot guarantee color tone or shade.
  • Unlike screen printing higher quantities do not make the Direct to garment process more efficient. For this reason, as quantities raise over forty-eight pieces screen printing becomes the more cost-effective option.
  • Because the printer uses highly sensitive water-based inks, digital printing has different results on different fabric types and colors. White garments have the best results with dark garments having the worst. Garment colors other than white must be one hundred percent cotton. Varied garment colors or fabric make-ups will lead to varied print results.

Misprints

For orders over 100 pieces, there is a shortage allowance of 2% for mis-decorations and/or manufacturer's defects. You will be credited to your original payment method for garments that are not delivered.

It is our goal to ensure you are completely satisfied in a timely manner! It is your responsibility to check your goods against your order upon receipt. If you believe you are missing garments from your order please open a Missing Goods Claim. If you believe your goods were misprinted or are otherwise defective in excess of the allowable tolerance, please open a defective goods claim.

Claims must be open within seven days of receiving your order. Unfortunately, because we have limited time to reprint, if you do not open the claim within the seven-day time frame allowed we may be unable to investigate your claim.

If we find that your goods are not within Print Tolerance, and were misprinted, we will reprint your garments to spec at no additional charge to you. In order to qualify for a reprint, you may be required to provide us with the misprinted garments.

Examples of form fit and function that you may not be satisfied with but may not necessarily be considered defective include, size and color variation, sticky zippers, and loose buttons. We will do everything we can to investigate and remedy defective goods claims when they are brought to our attention.

Print Re-Orders

You can easily create a Print Re-Order from any past order by going to your account and clicking the re-order link. Due to variances in the embellishment process, if it is important that colors match exactly on your Re-Order you must provide us with a garment from your initial run to match. This is relevant and important whether or not you are re-creating a garment printed with blankstyle.com or one that you initially printed elsewhere. If you do not provide us a garment to match we will match Pantones on the approved mock-up.

Garment Pricing

Tiered pricing is based on your total cart value. As you add items to your cart and reach tiered discount thresholds your price per item will drop in your shopping cart and the difference will be applied as a discount to your order total. In order to provide the largest possible selection, we list over thirty-five hundred products for sale! We list our products based on pricing provided to us by our manufacturers. Because there are so many products available and because pricing fluctuates weekly, occasionally the listed price is not accurate. If pricing is not accurate for a product you have on order we will notify you of the price change prior to processing your credit card and we will give you the option to cancel your order.

Coupon Usage

Coupon discounts are only valid on regularly priced merchandise, and cannot be combined with additional offers or sales.

Declines

Your card may be declined for one of two reasons:

Straight Decline: Funds are not available at the time the card is attempted
  • What to expect: We will reach out to you and make you aware of the issue and continue to attempt the card. If we are successful we will ship your order.

AVS Mismatch: The billing address you submitted does not match the billing address on file with your bank. This could be as simple as a formatting error.

  • What to expect: Each time your card is attempted and the address match system fails, your bank will remove the money from your account as a pending authorization and set it aside for our system to capture. It may look like your card was charged more than once. These pending authorizations will be released by your bank usually within twenty-four hours.

    You should contact your bank and ensure the address they have on file is accurate.

    If for any reason we are unable to match the addresses a three-way call to the bank is an option to resolve. As soon as we are able to successfully match your address and accept one of the pending authorizations we will ship your merchandise.

Chargebacks

It is our goal to leave you completely satisfied with your purchase. For that reason, we have a process for claims and returns. Due to limitations outside of our control, there are certain time frames that must be met. 

If the method of payment used is charged back for any reason. We will pursue the order balance along with all fees incurred through collections and we will be unable to help via the claims process.

We understand that in certain circumstances customers may not be the cardholder and use credit cards authorized for use by a cardholder. Payment is ultimately the responsibility of the party placing the order on blankstyle.com.

Manufacturer Specifications

It is up to the individual customer to verify manufacturer sizing, form fit, and function. We do our best to represent garments through specs and pictures oftentimes provided by our manufacturers. Variation in garment color texture or size is common within each SKU and size. There are other tolerances in manufacturing which may include small variances in thread color that can appear like small discolorations, small tears or holes smaller than a pin head, or loose threads near seams. This is the nature of the apparel world and it is completely out of our control.

We will do our best to evaluate the claim along with your order history and if we believe the product is defective outside manufacturer specification we will offer you an appropriate resolution in line with returning or replacing the defective product.

If you decorate your garments with us and it is determined that a portion or all of your garments are out of manufacturer spec, we can offer you one of the following

  • A credit towards a re-order
  • A refund for the out-of-spec products.

Unfortunately due to manufacturing constraints in most cases, we are unable to replace the product.
