Terms and Conditions

Resale License:

In order to purchase wholesale from The Apparel Source, you must have a valid state-issued resale license in an apparel-related industry. You must provide a signed resale certificate prior to your first order. If you are based in a state with no sales tax, a business license can meet this requirement.

Minimums:

We have no minimums and do not charge extra for breaking or mixing dozens. Our price breaks are based on the total quantity of your order. The first price break is at 36 total items, and the second is at 288 total items.

Shipments:

Most orders received by 3:00pm will ship the same day via UPS or GLS. Drop shipments have earlier cut-off times. See Shipping Information for more specific details about Drop Shipments. Shipments are FOB Origin. Standard carrier insurance rates apply to lost or damaged shipments.  Risk of loss passes to the customer once an order is handed to the shipping carrier.  

Terms & Credit Cards:

Payments are accepted via Cash, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Cashier's Check or Money Order. Company checks or Net terms may be accepted after an application is approved. Quoted prices are cash-discounted and credit card prices are 3% more. The reversal of the 3% cash discount appears as "handling charge" on the website and invoice. If you are picking up your order and decide to pay cash, the handling charge will be removed from the invoice.

Claims:

You must inform us of shortages or defective goods within 5 days of receipt of the order. No guarantee on printed or altered goods, so please inspect garments prior to decorating.

Returns:

Returns and cancelled orders will be subject to a restocking fee of 15-25% and return shipping.

$20.00 handling charge on all returned checks.

Prices may change without notice. Prices may vary if account is past due.
