Production Specs

Standard Production Time: Lead times and rush charges are based upon the receipt of final art approval and complete order instructions – not when an order is submitted. Art that is not output-ready usually requires additional lead time. Always allow time to acquire art and proof approval. Production begins the business day following receipt of PO and approved, output-ready art. Art that is not output-ready requires additional lead time. Production lead times are based on orders up to 2,500 pieces. For larger quantities, call for production times.

Cancelled Orders: If an order is cancelled, you are responsible for charges incurred up to the point of cancellation.

Returns: Authorization is required prior to return of product. Unauthorized returns will not be accepted. No credit will be issued for product that cannot be returned.

Multiple Destination Charge: The first two drop shipments are free. The charge for each additional location depends on the quantity per location. If each location is shipped in full-case multiples, the charge is $12.50/v per location. If each location is shipped the same non-standard case pack quantity, the charge is $18.75/v. If the quantity per location is different and requires non-standard case packs, the cost per location is $37.50/v. Drop ship lists must be submitted in our Excel spreadsheet. If the specific instructions are received within three days of shipping, an additional charge of $6.25/v per location will be applied. Any instructions not present at the time of quoting may alter pricing when the actual instructions are received. Fulfillment charges are not included in the Multiple Destination charges. If a fulfillment quote is needed, please provide requirements.

Custom Dies: Die/handling charge depends on the size and complexity of the pattern. All dies created by us remain factory property.

Shortages & Overages: All orders are subject to 5% over or under run. Exact quantities incur a 10% surcharge.

Job Changes: Job change orders that occur once a project is in our system may incur additional or duplicate charges as applicable. Changes may also affect scheduled delivery dates. To avoid additional charges or delays, nail down all loose ends prior to job submission.

Shipping: F.O.B. Nevada. In accordance with the shipping terms of F.O.B., the responsibility of an order transfers to the customer when the order is shipped. Claims for shipping damage MUST be made by the customer when the shipment arrives. CounterPoint® accepts no responsibility or liability for carrier-caused delivery delays, problems, or product damages.

Box Weights: Box weights may vary depending on the actual raw materials used. Some variation is normal and expected.

Important Note: Lead times and rush charges are based upon the receipt of final art approval and complete order instructions – not when an order is submitted. Art that is not output-ready usually requires additional lead time. Always allow time to acquire art and proof approval. Packaging or custom die requirements may also increase lead time.
