Apparel 2009 - TERMS & CONDITIONS
UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE - MERCHANDISE QUALITY

All claims for shortages, damages, defects, price discrepancies, incorrect merchandise, etc.,
must be reported within 72 hours of receipt of goods. Claims will not be accepted after this time.
It is the customer's responsibility to inspect and count all goods received before washing or imprinting
to ensure that the correct merchandise and quantity was received as ordered and in good condition.
Without exception, PPS APPAREL, LLC will not assume responsibility after garments have been washed, imprinted, embroidered or embellished in any fashion.

SALES TAX
PPS APPAREL, LLC does not charge or collect applicable State, County or Local Sales Tax on Blank / Plain apparel purchases. It is the customer's responsibility to remit/report any required Sales or "Use" taxes directly to their own respective state/local tax authorities.
BACK ORDER POLICY
Due to our large volume of orders, Out of Stock items are not available on backorder. We will attempt to notify you for further instructions if any item you ordered is out of stock. If a particular is out of stock which does not represent a majority of your order, we will ship and bill only for the items actually shipped.
SHIPPING
& HANDLING
Orders are shipped via ground transportation from the nearest stocking warehouse unless otherwise requested. Orders
for non-printed items received from our website by 4:00 P.M. Eastern time are usually shipped the same day.
Shipping charges (shown below) will be added to the final invoice. We do
not add "handling" or "order processing" fees.
SHIPPING DEADLINE:
Orders "received" prior to 4 pm Eastern Time are usually shipped the same day. Placing an order prior to 4 pm Eastern Time does not guarantee we will receive it
instantly. Due to ISPs and e-mail, if your order has special importance, you may want to call customer service immediately after placing your order online to discuss your
shipping options. Orders received by us on-line, after 4 pm Eastern Time, may process the next business day in the fashion you have selected online.
The carrier will be UPS GroundSaver or FedEx Ground. Ship-To addresses must be a physical street address. P.O. Boxes and A.P.O. addresses are not currently accepted for shipment. If Next-Day or Second-Day Air service is required, please provide your shipper account number in the customer remarks section of your website order. We make every attempt to notify you of your shipping status via tracking number e-mailed to you. In the event your item is shipped direct from the manufacturers warehouse, this service may be delayed or not available at all.
PPS APPAREL, LLC (PPS Apparel.com) cannot be held responsible for lost or delayed orders after shipments leave the warehouse. Delivery of any shipment by us to a carrier relieves us of all further responsibility for damage and/or shortage. We will provide assistance in processing your claim. The majority of our items are shipped same day if order is received by 4:00 P.M. time. We make every effort to achieve this goal but do not guarantee same-day shipping. On occasion, items must be shipped direct from the manufacturer for which we have no control over ship times.
If you have a concealed shortage or damage you must notify the respective carrier (UPS or FedEx) to inspect within 7 days of receipt of the shipment.
