SHIPPING TO AK, HI, PR, VI and APO AE: All orders shipped to customers in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and other U.S. Territories -- including APO and military addresses -- are charged an amount that covers the U.S. Mail Parcel Post shipping rate. (Sorry, but because of the costs involved we do not offer any other shipping options to these locations -- unless you wish to provide your own UPS or FedEx account number to pay freight charges directly, as listed below.)
These standard non-continental USA shipping charges are presented during the checkout process, and vary by the size of the order. Simply add items to your cart, input your address as instructed, and the shipping fee amount will be presented to you for your confirmation before you complete the checkout process. CUSTOMER-PROVIDED UPS OR FEDEX SHIPPING ACCOUNT NUMBER BILLING OPTION: An option for expedited shipping to AK, HI, APO AE or other non-mainland territories is for the customer to provide a UPS or FedEx account number to us prior to placing an order. That way, we can bill all shipping and customs fees directly to your account using that account number, expediting the ordering process significantly. By providing a valid UPS or FedEx shipping account number in advance, you pay us only for the total amount of the goods ordered; the shipping and customs fees are billed to you directly by your shipping provider. OTHER SHIPPING DETAILS: Because we have seven fully-stocked warehouses strategically located across the USA, WE DO NOT OFFER OVERNIGHT SHIPPING. Since our warehouses are scattered across the country, nearly every address in the continental USA is 1-2 days in transit upon the processing of an order. Given this and the fact that the cost of overnight shipping is simply too high for the typical customer, we have chosen not to offer Express or Overnight shipping. The Factory Store processes orders Monday - Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m Eastern Time. All orders received before 2 p.m. Eastern typically ship that same day; this is typical but not guaranteed unless expressly promised by one of our service representatives! Orders placed after normal business hours or on the weekend are processed on the next business day. Immediately upon the completion of an online transaction, a confirmation email is sent to the customer. Upon review of your order by one of our processors (in the time frame specified above), an email is again sent to the email address provided during transaction with specific instructions as to the shipping status of the order. The email will state one of the following: 1) that the products have shipped and will list the warehouse location from where they are being sent, so as to allow the customer to gauge delivery time; or 2) the email will detail any products that may have become unavailable, and will a request that the customer select one of the options presented in the email as a change order; or 3) the email will state that an appropriate substitution has been made for a product that was out of inventory and that the shipment has been sent. EVERY ORDER THAT IS PROCESSED BY OUR STAFF WILL RECEIVE A SECOND EMAIL NOTIFICATION DETAILING THE SHIPPING STATUS OF THAT ORDER AS DESCRIBED ABOVE AS SOON AS THE ORDER IS REVIEWED BY A STAFF MEMBER! Each warehouse maintains tracking numbers for all shipments sent out via UPS Ground. After FIVE business days, a customer may request tracking information on the package by emailing a request to blanks@NameBrandApparel.com. Please do not make this tracking request earlier than five business days after placing your order -- the shipment is most likely still in transit before then. See our TERMS & CONDITIONS for additional details. |
