Customer Service

Shipping and Delivery

Before we get into specifics, let us be clear on our shipping "philosophy":
  • - We want to get things to you as quickly as humanly possible.
  • - If there is a shipping charge (expedited shipping, for example), we are not in business to "profit" from shipping; you are charged what we are charged;
  • - Shipping fees are not refundable under any circumstance.
Our primary shipping service is FedEx Ground.  This is a "ground" service that takes 5-7 business days from coast-to-coast.  Canadian shipments ship from our distributor, Venture Labels from Windsor, Ontario.  if your company uses another shipping service and wish to use that service instead of FedEx, please indicate that in your order and provide us with the details needed to ship your product.

Delivery Time

  1. - We do our best to ship items out as quickly as possible, so we often get orders out more quickly than is noted.
    - The method of delivery- our Free shipping method is either FedEx Ground, USPS or Canada Post.
    - Additionally, please note that delivery time is also based on "business" days.  For example, if you place an order on Sunday, it's impossible for us to ship an item the same day as all the shippers are closed.

Exceptions to Our Shipping and Delivery Policy

The following exceptions will require extended shipment and/or delivery times:

  1. - Products that are normally stocked but that are temporarily out of stock.
  2. - Products that are not normally stocked and must therefore be custom made.

Under such circumstances, you will be emailed regarding the specifics of your situation.

Delays in Shipping

On occasion, we may experience an unforeseen delay in the shipment of your order. In such a case, you will be notified via email by [email protected].  When delayed shipments become ready to ship, we will email you unless you contact us and choose to cancel any portion of your order that has not been shipped.

Free Shipping Offers

Orders over $200 qualify for Free Shipping (subject to change), which will be FedEx Ground Delivery (5-7 days for cross-country delivery), USPS or Canada Post at our discretion.  Free shipping promotions are available to North America (continental) shipments only.

Calculating Cost

We do not profit from shipping.  Should you request Rush shipping, or if we're shipping your order internationally, your shipping cost will be exactly the same as we are charged by whichever shipping company is used to deliver your package.  Shipping costs are calculated on the website automatically during Checkout based on the weight of the items you are purchasing.

Release Program

Custom and Stock Product Monthly Release Programs

A1 Package gives our customers the opportunity to have their entire order shipped at once to them or to take partial shipments with one of our A1 Release Programs.  If choosing a Release Program, each partial shipment is invoiced and paid for individually.  This program is ideal for customers with cash flow and warehouse space constraints, who want a balanced inventory program that gives them storage solutions, just in time delivery and cash flow assistance.

A1 Package clients have a choice between 1 of our 3 release schedules, to make warehousing your product and paying for your product easier.  A1 Package allows your purchased product to be release to you in 3, 6 and 12 month increments.

Benefits

  • - Cash flow spread out over 3, 6 and 12 months
  • - Batter economies of scale with a larger order commitment
  • - Warehouse space savings
  • - Zero lead time/just in time delivery
  • - Alleviate the stress of continuous ordering
  • - Makes your ordering more efficient because it is done in advance
  • - Reduces the chances of running out of merchandising product

 

With all Release Program offers we at A1 Package require the initial 1st Payment to be 50% of the total purchase order, before we ship your product.  The remaining balance is split up equally among the remaining releases, and is expected to be paid before your next shipment is released.

If your payment is not received your order will not be shipped.  NO order or scheduled release will be shipped until payment is received.

By agreeing to the monthly release program you also agree to an additional $15 Storage and handling fee charged to each release after the initial shipment.

When your second last shipment leave our warehouse you will receive an email from one of our client care representatives informing you there is only one last shipment left and to remind you to renew the contract.

Program Conditions

  • - All products falling into a scheduled release program must have a signed contract and initial payment processed before work commences or first release ships
  • - If product is not taken as stated in the contract terms, customers have the following choices:
  •           - Take all remaining inventory and be charged in full
  •           - Pay the outstanding balance and have the product warehoused at $15/month

 

 Please NOTE: what is ordered in the Shopping Cart is the TOTAL you will receive over the course of chosen release program. So if you choose 6 rolls of our Bar B Que label and a 3 month release program you will receive three shipments of 2 rolls each. If you purchase only 5 labels of the Bar B Que label you will receive 2 shipments of 2 rolls and 1 shipment of 1 roll. This will be detailed for you in the contract our Client Care Representative send you via email after your order has been placed.
