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. CLICK HERE TO SEE MORE SHIPPING DETAILS.

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 for schools or other customers?
Our catalog pricing is standard for all customers and provides you the lowest prices available – Guaranteed. If not, just show us the lower price offered to you and within reason, will adjust our price lower.

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.

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.
