Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers on ordering, shipping, returns, custom work, and department portals.

If you don’t see your question here, contact us and we’ll help you get a clear answer fast.

Ordering

Ordering

How to get a quote, how orders are approved, and what we need to start production.

Getting Started

How do I place an order?

Order in-store, through your department portal (if applicable), or by contacting our team. For custom work, we confirm artwork, placement, and quantities before production.

What do you need to provide a quote?

Item/brand, sizes and quantities, customization method (embroidery/DTF/HTV/engraving), artwork/logo files, placement notes, and your deadline.

Do you provide proofs before decorating?

Yes for most custom jobs. We provide a proof so placement and layout are approved before production.

Can you match an existing uniform layout?

Yes. Bring a sample or provide photos with measurements. We can standardize placement for repeatable reorders.

Lead Times & Rush

How long does an order take?

It depends on the product, vendor availability, and customization method. Once we confirm details and approvals, we’ll provide a realistic timeline.

Do you offer rush orders?

When capacity allows, yes. Rush availability varies and may involve additional fees or limited options. Contact us with your deadline.

Do you have minimum quantities?

Some methods (especially screen printing) can have practical minimums. DTF/HTV and embroidery can work well for small runs.

Can I change an order after approval?

If production hasn’t started, changes may be possible. If items are already customized or in production, changes may not be feasible.

Shipping

Shipping

Shipping, tracking, pickup options, and carrier delays.

Shipping & Tracking

Do you ship nationwide?

Yes. We can ship across the continental U.S. If you have special delivery needs, tell us at the time of ordering.

Will I get tracking?

When available, tracking is provided once the carrier processes the shipment.

What if my package is delayed?

Carrier delays can happen due to weather or unforeseen events. We can help you track the package, but shipping charges are generally not refundable.

Can I pick up my order instead?

Yes. Pickup is available when your order is completed and passes QC (especially for custom work).

Addresses & Split Orders

Can I change the shipping address after ordering?

Sometimes—if the order hasn’t shipped. Once shipped, address changes are limited by the carrier and may add fees.

Can you split a large order by person/unit?

Yes, when practical. We can bundle by individual or role to make distribution easier for departments.

Do you offer expedited shipping?

When available, yes. Note: expedited shipping does not reduce production time for customized items.

Do you ship to PO Boxes?

In some cases, depending on the carrier and item type. Contact us and we’ll confirm options.

Returns & Warranty

Returns & Warranty

What can be returned, what can’t, and how defects and warranty situations are handled.

Returns

Can I return custom/decorated items?

Most customized items are not returnable unless there is a defect or an error on our part. If something is wrong, contact us promptly so we can fix it.

Can I return non-custom items?

Many non-custom items may be eligible for return in new/unused condition. Some categories have restrictions. Contact us with your order info for confirmation.

What if I ordered the wrong size?

If the item is not customized and is unused, we can often help with an exchange. For decorated items, confirm sizing before decoration whenever possible.

How quickly should I report an issue?

As soon as possible after delivery or pickup so we can verify details and resolve quickly.

Warranty & Issues

What if an item arrives damaged or defective?

Contact us with photos and your order info. We’ll determine whether it’s shipping-related, manufacturer-related, or decoration-related and guide next steps.

Do you help with manufacturer warranties?

Yes, when applicable. We can help coordinate warranty steps and documentation when the manufacturer supports it.

What if a logo placement is wrong?

If it differs from the approved proof or agreed spec, contact us right away. We track approvals to keep quality and consistency under control.

Do you offer a “hassle-free” process?

We aim to make it simple: send your order number, photos, and a short description, and we’ll guide resolution.

Customizations

Customizations

Embroidery, DTF, HTV, engraving, patches, and alterations—plus how we keep orders consistent.

Methods & Artwork

Which customization method is best?

It depends on fabric, artwork detail, durability, and quantity. We’ll recommend embroidery, DTF, HTV, engraving, or another method based on your goals.

Do you digitize logos for embroidery?

Yes. Digitizing converts artwork into a stitch-ready file. Once created, it can be reused for repeat orders (unless the logo changes).

Can you help if we don’t have clean logo files?

Yes. We can help refine or rebuild artwork so it is production-ready for printing, embroidery, engraving, and web use.

Can you match thread colors or brand colors?

We can closely match colors and provide proofing guidance to keep branding consistent across items.

Placement & Consistency

Can you sew on patches and name tapes?

Yes. We can sew patches, identifiers, and name tapes to spec and help standardize placement for reorders.

Do you offer alterations and hemming?

Yes. We provide hemming, tailoring, repairs, and uniform modifications. Bring items in-store for review.

How do you keep reorders consistent?

We store approved layouts (placement, size, and decoration details) so repeat orders match across shifts, years, and new hires.

Can you engrave items we already own?

Often yes. We’ll check the coating/material first and confirm expected results before engraving.

Department Portals

Department Portals & Online Stores

Approved catalogs, pricing, approvals, budgets, and streamlined ordering for organizations.

Portal Setup

What is a Taft 360 portal?

A portal is a custom online store built around your approved items, pricing, and ordering rules so your team orders the correct gear every time.

Can portals include approvals and budgets?

Yes. Portals can be configured with approvals, spending limits, and role-based access depending on how your organization purchases.

Can you restrict ordering to approved items only?

Yes. Most department portals are curated so the catalog matches policy/spec and keeps uniforms consistent.

Do you handle portal fulfillment?

Yes. We can coordinate inventory, decoration, packing, and delivery/pickup workflows based on your setup.

Reorders & Program Management

Can portals support new hires and promotions?

Yes. With stored specs and approved items, adding new team members is straightforward and consistent.

Can portals be public for merchandise?

Yes. Portals can be staff-only, public, or hybrid depending on your goals (fundraisers, fan gear, branded merch).

How is tax-exempt handled?

For qualifying organizations, we can apply tax-exempt settings once documentation is provided, and it can be automated inside portals.

Can you build department-specific pricing into the portal?

Yes. Contract pricing or department rates can be built in so users automatically see the correct price.
