10 TIPS to order by...
1. Print legibly, spelling counts. We create your order including player names verbatium, if you misspell a player name, we misspell a player name. Although we can correct misspellings, there will be a charge to correct it. We prefer a typed player name and number list
2.When ordering jerseys make sure that if you need youth sizes your order is marked as such. Ex. if you need youth mediums mark your order as "Youth Medium or YM " an order marked just as "M or Medium" you will get an adult size.
3.When ordering colors for your jerseys or prints be sure to name the exact color you want. Ex. If you need Navy Blue order Navy Blue, not just Blue.
4. For single digit numbers, do not add a zero(0) in front of the number unless you want a 0. Ex. if you want a # 2 order it as #2 not 02 or you will be charged for 2 digits
5. Remember: When we size your art work for your order, it will be sized to fit the smallest jerseys on your order. Ex. if your order has jerseys sizes youth med. thru adult xxxl the print will be sized to fit the youth med and will look small on the xxxl. If you want a print that is proportional to all sizes, addtitional set-up charges will apply.
6. When ordering custom made garments order as many extras as you can. Custom garments have minimums, needing a piece or two later will result in less than minimum charges, additional shipping charges and longer turn-around times. The same is true for standard garments as well. Tee shirts are dyed by lot, although NLS makes the best effort of securing garments from the same dye lot, addtional pieces later on could come from a different lot giving them an "off-color" appearance.
7. Order as early as possible, Our minimum standard lead time is 10-15 days, but delays do happen, out-of-stock items, art corrections, waiting for sponsors or late sign-ups etc. can bring delivery right to the date. If you need to hand out uniforms during the week for a weekends game. Base our 10-15 day lead time on the date you wish to hand out uniforms, not the date of the first game.
8. NLS Sportswear will not reproduce copyright material unless a release form from the copyright holder is presented at the time of order placement.
