ADDITIONS TO PREVIOUS UNIFORM ORDERS
Bandmans will manufacture additional uniforms to match the style of uniforms purchased in a previous order. Additional uniforms will be priced according to the quantity purchased. Prices are subject to increase or decrease based on availability of fabrics and production schedule. Additional uniforms will be considered a new order and appropriate manufacturing time and shipping will apply. Uniforms cannot be cancelled in an existing custom order once the order has been placed into production. You may be asked to provide a uniform from your previous order to ensure correct duplication.
DUPLICATING
If a customer would like to have older uniforms or uniforms from another manufacturer duplicated, they may, pending approval from a Bandmans artist or sales representative. Please have a sample garment shipped to our company after your order has been placed for our production team to reference. This sample garment will be shipped at the customer’s expense and returned at the businesses’ expense. If a sample uniform cannot be provided, multiple photographs of the uniform from various angles at high resolution may be accepted. Bandmans is not liable for variations that may arise while duplicating uniforms.
COLOR MATCHING
Bandmans strives to maintain standard colors with all of our merchandise. However, it is scientifically impossible to achieve a perfect color match from one dye lot to another. A slight shade or dye lot difference may be noticeable between orders, different fabrics, and under different lighting. Please be specific when requesting the shade of color you desire (ex: Royal Blue, instead of blue). Please use the Pantone Matching System (PMS) where appropriate. Bandmans is not responsible for incorrect color matches.
MANUFACTURING SCHEDULE
A manufacturing timeframe for custom items will be provided to once your order has been placed. Manufacturing timeframes are an estimated time of manufacturing, and are subject to change without prior notice to you. Manufacturing of your order will not begin until the order is complete; including style, color, sizing, quantity, shipping address and payment information is received. Bandmans must receive full payment, or a deposit agreed upon previously, before manufacturing can begin. Bandmans is not to be held liable for any delay or failure due to conditions beyond our control, which include but are not limited to delivery delays, weather, strikes, raw material availability, and other unavoidable circumstances.
Occasionally, a question about your order may require us to contact you. Should this occur, your order will be placed on hold until we are able to contact you and resolve the issue. We will make every attempt to reach you regarding the issue. Please respond to all correspondence promptly to prevent any further delay in your order. Customers accept responsibility for any delays in the delivery of your order that are caused by customer’s delay in communication.
RISK OF LOSS
The risk of loss and title for all items purchased from Bandmans pass to you upon our delivery to the customer.
RETURNS
Customized or originally built materials are not returnable, unless agreed upon by a Bandmans production or sales staff. Authorized returns on custom apparel will be pending proof of faulty fabric, stitching, or construction. Any evidence of extended use or destructive wear will void the return agreement. Returns and exchanges will be accepted on in-stock and non-customized apparel, pending approval from a Bandmans production or sales staff. All returns must be made within 30 days of purchase. Returns are subject to 20% restocking fee, unless exchanging. Please provide the RA# on the outside of your package and include this form in the return package. Shipping cost for sending out exchanged items will need to be collected before new items ship.
Merchandise is non-returnable after 30 days from the date the package was delivered as noted by the respective delivery service. Any goods not returned in this period will result in the customer keeping the goods and being responsible for all charges. The customer is responsible for return shipping on returns. Shipping charges are not refundable unless the merchandise is found to be defective by the manufacturer, or if an incorrect shipment is the result of a Bandmans error.
Special design or custom-made items cannot be returned. Custom items include but are not limited to custom garments, custom warm-ups, any garments or items with screen print, embroidery, or any other customization. Briefs, bodysuits, and tights along with hair accessories cannot be returned due to health reasons. Items worn or soiled cannot be returned.
CORRECTIONS
It is the customer’s responsibility to review quotes, order acknowledgements, notes during phone calls and email exchanges with representatives for accuracy and correct details that align with their desired product. When you receive an order, please open all boxes immediately. If there is a discrepancy with your order, you must report it to our office within 3 days of delivery. If you do not report discrepancies to our office in this time frame, we cannot guarantee a fix can be implemented. Please have recorded evidence (via the materials above; i.e. email exchange, order acknowledgement, etc.) that the details agreed upon where correct upon ordering, and incorrect upon receiving. Bandmans is not liable to fix orders that were ordered incorrectly by the customer, and will not be held liable if customer does not have recorded exchange wherein the correct details were agreed upon. Should a fix be issued, additional shipping charges may apply on the replacement or correction of your order. In the event of missing items, duplicate shipments, incorrect sizes or color, lost shipments, or product design defects, please contact Bandmans immediately.
SHIPPING DAMAGE
Because shipping is handled by companies outside of our own (such as UPS, USPS, DHL, and others) occasionally, a shipment will become damaged in transit. If your shipment arrives damaged, please take the following steps: notify the shipping carrier of damage to the package, and open all packages immediately. Save all shipping materials provided.
Please notify Bandmans within 3 business days. We will investigate your order promptly to determine which party is at fault, and which party will be responsible for replacing your item.
SHIPPING INFORMATION
Most shipments in 48 contiguous states are made via UPS, FedEx, or USPS Priority Mail. Next day, 2-day, 3-day select, and Saturday shipping available for an additional charge. Normal Item lead times apply. Call for pricing and carrier on overseas shipping. Most stock items are processed within 1-2 business days of order/approval and should arrive 2 to 6 business days later. Upgraded shipping does not affect order processing time and only applies to transit time to the customer. Custom-made and special design items will be shipped after they are manufactured.
INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
Shipping Charges: All international orders are shipped via UPS or Priority Mail International. Shipping costs on international orders are quoted on an individual basis. If you place an order via our website, we will calculate the shipping costs and email a quote for your approval prior to processing the order. Any published shipping charges do not apply to orders shipped beyond the continental United States.
Duties/Taxes/Brokerage Clearance Charges: In all cases, the recipient is responsible for all duties and taxes levied by the local governing authority along with any costs associated with clearing the shipment with customs authorities. We are not able to estimate these charges. If you need to estimate your local costs, we suggest you contact the appropriate authorities with your order information.
Shipping Timeline: International orders may take additional time to process due to the completion of additional documents required for shipping and item availability. We generally ship all international orders in a single shipment upon completion of the order to minimize the shipping expense to our customers. If you require certain items to be shipped as soon as available, please notify us in writing and we will quote the shipping costs based on your requirements. Please note that shipping international orders in multiple shipments is considerably more expensive.
