Absolutely! Each customer-supplied item goes through multiple counts to ensure accuracy at every stage of the process. Here's an overview of how we handle goods shipped to us.

Note: If you're dropping off items, please provide a physical count, packing slip, manifest, or similar documentation so we can reconcile what we receive with your records.

This process may vary from time to time, but here is a basic outline of our process:

  • Receive Goods from Distributor
  • Count all pieces not in factory-sealed cases.
  • Open factory cases for orders under 3,000 pieces to confirm size and color accuracy but individual pcs. are not counted.
    • For orders over 3,000 pieces, factory-sealed cases are typically opened during production.
  • Receive items to an order(s).
  • Any discrepancies are logged into our discrepancy management system.
  • If issues arise, the customer is notified, and the order is placed on hold until resolved using one of the following methods:
    • Create a back order
      • Both orders will now be priced as independent orders.
    • Adjust your order to match what we have
      • Pricing may change based on your new qty breaks
    • Adjust the date on the order and wait for more pieces or replacements
  • no goods will move to production without being complete to either your PO or a modified production order.

Notes:

  • Goods are recounted by our order pulling team as they are laid out for production to confirm we can print complete, and production is getting them all.
  • Goods are recounted during production by the operator using the press counters every decoration.
  • Goods are recounted by the packing team as they are packed.
