American Apparel/Alternative Apparel Order Cancellation

Neither American or Alternative Apparel allows us to sell their blanks to the public for the purpose of being resold blank, or worn as blank garments. For this reason we have to cancel ALL American or Alternative Apparel orders that appear to be retail or unembellished resale orders. In the case of an order cancellation your card will not be charged. If you paid via pay pal you will be refunded. If we are mistaken and you are planning to embellish or print on the items for personal use or for resale, please call us directly at 866.792.5265 for an embellishment quote.

Missing Goods

Often orders will ship from multiple warehouses especially when more than one brand is ordered. In this case you will receive your goods on different days in different packages. 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. If you do not receive the entirety of your order within the seven business day time frame allowed for shipping, you may open a missing goods request on the appropriate order from your order history page. If you receive incorrect goods or you only recieve a portion of your order it is likely there was a picking error. It is your responsibility to contact us within thirty days of your order date to inform us of your missing goods. Unfortunately we will be unable to investigate claims of missing merchandise on orders older than thirty days.

Shipping

SHIPPING CHARGES ARE AN ESTIMATE.
In order to provide the widest selection of quality blank apparel we ship out of many different warehouses located all over the United States. For this reason it is difficult to tell exactly what shipping will cost. Our shopping cart automatically ESTIMATES shipping costs. From time to time these estimates are incorrect and the charge will be manually adjusted.

SHIPPING TIME FRAMES
Orders ship next business day, or sooner. Because we ship from different warehouses, depending upon what you purchase, your items may arrive separately, and on different days and/or times. If your items have to come from more than two locations there may be additional shipping charges.

Domestic ground deliveries usually arrive within 3-7 business days from the time they are shipped. Shipping time may be increased during the holidays depending on the carrier. If you need your items by a specific date please call 866.792.5265 for a more accurate delivery date estimate. Expedited shipping options are available by calling Blankstyle Customer Support 866.792.5265.

METHOD OF SHIPMENT
Standard orders ship UPS Ground. Expedited shipping is possible for an additional charge provided you place your order prior to one PM pacific time. Domestic shipping includes all of the continental United States. International shipping includes all outlying states and territories including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.

SHIPPING DELAYS
Blankstyle.com will not be responsible for shipping delays caused by a carrier. We do not require signature for delivery, and will not be held responsible for a missing package showing by the carrier to have been delivered to the address provided. If you would like to sign for your package please notate so under order comments when checking out.

International Shipping

Blankstyle.com will ship internationally for any order over $250. You have the option to cancel your order within 24 hours and you will receive a full refund. If you do not cancel your order within 24 hours we will charge your card and ship your order. Depending on your location, we may send your order USPS. In this case tracking will NOT be automatically available. We can provide you with a certificate of mailing to prove your package was sent at no additional charge. If you would like to add tracking or signature confirmation there will be additional fees. If you elect not to add tracking or signature confirmation by placing your order you agree not to hold blankstyle liable for delivery, further more you agree that a certificate of mailing is sufficient proof of shipment, and that once mailed the order is your responsibility to locate and collect. Please call or email support@blankstyle.com for details prior to ordering if you have questions. Domestic shipping includes all of the continental United States. International shipping includes all outlying states and territories including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.

Please allow 10 to 14 business days for international delivery. If you have questions please email support@blankstyle.com

Undeliverable Orders

Undeliverable orders will not be re-shipped to you. They will be processed as a return, and store credit will be issued so that you can re-order. Store credit may be subject to a 15% restocking fee. Shipping charges are non-refundable. Return shipping charges will be deducted from your refund or store credit. If you received free shipping on the initial order, the cost to ship your order, as well as the return shipment costs will be deducted from your store credit.

Free Shipping Details

Domestic orders over $399 will receive free ground shipping from one location.

Orders outside of the continental United States do not qualify for free shipping. Screen print orders do not qualify for free shipping. If your order has to ship from multiple locations you will have the option to pay shipping from the additional location.

KEEP YOUR SHIPPING COSTS DOWN

One way to ensure your order ships out of only one location and to ensure your shipping costs are low, is to buy garments within a brand. Products of the same brand are often times warehoused and shipped together. If you would like suggestions on keeping your shipping low please live chat or call us at (866) 792-5265.

Printing

When checking out you will have the option to add screen printing by uploading art to your order.

If you select the print quote box we will send you a print quote for approval. If you do not approve your quote within twenty four hours we will not charge you for printing, and we will ship your blank goods.

If you select the print order box, We will add the printing costs to your order and send you an updated invoice.

As a standard procedure, we will send you a proof for approval prior to print. The proof we send you will reflect the actual artwork that will be printed. Artwork is proofed to scale on virtual garments which are proportionate to your actual garments ordered. We will come as close as we can to matching the printed garments to the approved virtual mock up. Due to print 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 being printed. 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 print 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 print 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 that pantone is printed on.

We will not print until we receive your written proof approval. Your written proof approval is your agreement to print the artwork shown within tolerance as sized and shown on the proofed garment.

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 at a charge of $129.00 per design plus $29.00 per color.

Print orders typically take from 5-7 business days in process from the date you approve the virtual mock up. Shipping time frames apply as specified below.

All art must be in Vector format. If art is not in vector format, we offer a graphics service for $60/hr. A standard logo take roughly a half hours work to fully vector for print. Color separation and print setup is provided free of charge.

There are many different screen print 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 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.

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 are missing goods or believe your goods were not printed within tolerance, please notify us in writing and provide pictures when applicable within seven days of receiving your order. Unfortunately because we have limited time to re print, if you do not notify us within the seven day time frame allowed we will be unable to investigate your claim.

We do not offer refunds on printed merchandise. If we find that your goods are not within 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 must provide us with the misprinted garments.

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

Returns

We ship from many warehouses across the country and because of this complexity we do not offer exchanges. Instead we offer a refund or store credit to repurchase upon receipt of goods being returned. If you received free shipping on an order you are returning the cost to ship you the goods initially will be deducted from your refund or store credit. In order to initiate a return, initiate a return from your order history page. We will email you a Return Authorization number along with instructions to correctly complete your return.

These additional charges will be deducted from the amount of your refund.

Please allow up to three weeks for your refund to be processed. You must provide a tracking number for returned merchandise within 7 days from receiving a Return Authorization or your return will be invalid and you will not be credited or refunded.

Sample orders are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. Discounted or special rate orders are not eligible for refunds. Printed, altered, worn, or washed garments may not be returned.

We are unable to accept claims for defective garments after 7 days. Returns due to sizing issues will receive store credit for the repurchase of the correct size.
