Product Shipping and Delivery Information Important Shipping Policies

1. Orders shipped via USPS will only be delivered to a physical address and not a P.O. Box. However, we can ship to campus boxes. All orders being shipped outside the continental U.S. will be shipped via the U.S. Postal Service.
2. Our main goal is to get your order made right the first time. For that reason, we will not send your order into production if we do not have all of your information. If we have any questions regarding your order, we will contact you. Your order will not go into production until you respond to us. We would rather send your order out a day or two later than send you something you will not be happy with.
3. Please keep in mind that the shipping times stated below are based on the date your order goes into production, not the date you place your order. We will attempt to contact you if the item(s) you ordered are on backorder.
4. Our products ship out from different factories around the country and therefore, you may receive several different shipments. An order will usually not ship out from one of our factories until all the items from that factory are ready to ship.
5. Our handling service includes, but is not limited to packaging and handling. Our handling charge for individual orders is $5.00 for the first box ordered and $1.00 for each additional box. In certain cases, we will give discounts for high volume orders. Please call (901) 378-5716 for more information on high volume order pricing.
6. Our garment organized by sizes will be an additional $0.05 per garment. This charge is only based on multi colors and multi-locations on garments.
7. During the holiday season and certain other times, the production times listed below may increase due to the volume of orders we receive. We always recommend that you allow extra time for your order to arrive, especially if you need to have your order in your hands by a certain date.
8. Cater 2U Embroidery will assume no responsibility for delays resulting from the negligence of the carrier (primarily USPS), strikes, weather conditions, power failures or other acts of nature. USPS will attempt to deliver your package(s) for three consecutive business days. If no response is received, your package will be sent back to us and you will be charged to re-ship your order. USPS shipping sends 2-3 Day Priority mail, this is not guaranteed shipping estimated time up to 5 days based on USPS delivery times.

If there is a problem with your order, you must save all packaging and boxes for inspection and/or return shipping; if this is the case, please contact your customer service representative as soon as possible.
