1. How quickly can I get my
order?
In-stock "BLANK" items will ship within 48 hours, if possible, after we process your
order. Most orders take two to four business days (from the time they
are received) to ship. You may select overnight shipping for an additional
charge; you will then receive your order 48 - 72 hours from the time it
is processed. Overnight shipping does not apply to custom-imprinted items.
"Custom-imprinted" production times vary from two to four weeks, plus
shipping time depending on the product.

2. Do you ship C.O.D.? (Cash
on Delivery)
No, we do not offer C.O.D. shipments.
3. Has my order been shipped?
Before you contact us, please check the following:
- Click on the Order
Status link, and enter your last name and invoice #. You
will be emailed or contacted concerning product ship date.
- Ask others – school receptionist, school secretary, janitorial services
or loading dock - if they have received your boxes. We find that 99%
of the "missing" orders are somewhere in the school or building
waiting for the recipient.
- If you have received one box that has a packing list that shows other
items shipped separately, please wait one to two days as many shipments
do become separated and arrive at different times.
We always endeavor to ship all your items the instant they are available.
This may result in multiple shipments if an item is backordered. Custom
printed items will also be shipped separately from stock items.
Does your packing list show a temporary backorder? If so, you will receive
that item as soon as it is available. If there is a problem in meeting
your event date, we will contact you by phone, fax or e-mail.
Custom items will ship in the specified time period. If there is a concern
(i.e. we need more information from you), we will contact you. Our in-house
production tracking system monitors your order to ensure an
on-schedule delivery.
4. How do I get a catalog?
We enjoy expanding our customer family, so we are always happy
to send catalogs to potential friends. Just click on
Catalog Request and enter your mailing
information or write, fax or call us with your name, address, and where
you heard about our catalog. We'll promptly send a catalog (only one
catalog per address please). Please allow seven to 14 days to receive your
catalog. If you do not wish to receive our catalogs any longer, please
send us your name and address. If you have friends who may want to receive
a catalog, let us know.
5. Is my item in stock?
Apple Advertising offers thousands of items, so there will be instances when
we are temporarily out of an item. We strive to give fast confirmation of
stock availability from our Customer Service Department. Also, when you
fax an order on our site, we
will notify you if the item you have ordered is out of stock.
6. Do you have special pricing

costs?

on a "sample" imprinted item to match our theme?
Absolutely! Prices for imprinted items include your wording
and / or Logo.
12. Is "just wording"
on an imprinted item considered a special design?
When imprinting any of our items, wording is considered
a special design, but sometimes you will not be charged a screen charge.
You will be notified if a set-up charge applies.
13. What are your minimums?
On our much of our website, each item will state the normal
minimum quantity available.
If you need less than minimum please contact us. In many cases
(but not all), we can print less than minimum specified. However
there is a slight charge for this service.

secure?
Apple Advertising is very concerned about site security on the Internet
today. That is why we have made sure that we have followed and surpassed

when ordering from Apple Advertising, and we are doing everything we can to
continue to operate in a secure manner, but if you have any other
questions concerning payment security, please feel free to e-mail us at

your site, does that mean that I can receive the product for free?
At Apple Advertising, we are always striving to offer the most current
technology, the most popular products and the best pricing. Doing this
requires frequent changes and upgrades to our site. During these changes,
we sometime experience technical difficulties with our products and/ or
pricing. Please be patient with these changes and e-mail or call our Customer
Service Department with any pricing or product problems that you may find
– including products being offered for $0. Even though you may see the
product at this incorrect price, we will not be able to sell any of our
products at $0.
