Shipping Times
All of our products can be ordered either blank or individually personalized and most orders ship within 1-3 business days. As you can imagine, completing and shipping personalized aprons this quickly is no small task. We pride ourselves in being able to offer this to our customers. If you are like us, you hate to see a bold promise, only to find a lot of exceptions and disclaimers in the small print. Please rest assured that we work hard to complete and ship all orders, blank aprons or personalized aprons, within this time-frame (Monday through Friday, excluding holidays on which shipping companies do not operate). The situations described below are some situations where your order may have a slight delay, which we believe you will find understandable and reasonable.

Please note that the vast majority of apron orders will ship within the 1-3 business days timeframe. Before talking about the situations which may cause an order to have a slight delay, please note that most of our apron orders are for custom aprons with a quantity of between 1 and 5 and the vast majority of these orders will ship within the 1-3 business days.

Possible Exceptions Include:

Backordered Products On occassion, there are backordered aprons from our manufacturer. When this occurs, it's usually just a 2-3 day delay. We will notify you right away and give you the option to wait for the specific apron or provide alternatives to switch to a different apron style or apron color that can be shipped quickly.
Screen Printed Apron Orders Because there is quite a bit more involved in the screen printing process, it take s a little more time to process these orders. Normal turnaround time for screen printed apron orders is about 7-10 business days. We can usually rush orders quicker than that, so upon submission of your order, we do ask that you let us know if you need the order by a specific date so that we can arrange for scheduling to meet your specific needs.
Large Quantity Apron Orders While many blank apron orders for large quantities can be shipped right away, that will depend on current availibility from our manufacturer. For large quantities with custom imprinting or embroidery, typical turnaround is 5-7 business days.
Some Custom Logo Designs Because there are a few more steps involved in converting custom logos to stitch files and finalizing the artwork and proofs, generally speaking, orders with custom logos will not ship as quickly. However, in many cases, for custom logo orders of only a couple of aprons, it is possible to get these turned around very quickly and in many cases still shipped within 1-3 business days.
Orders that need clarification in some manner From time to time, we receive orders with questionable spellings, missing text, or some question on a special instruction. For these orders, we attempt to resolve the issue right away, but if an issue cannot be resolved quickly, it may delay the completion and shipment of that order until the issue is resolved.
Unforeseen occurances at our shop, with shipping carriers, or at our manufacturer's facility These are rare and unlikely, but still worth mentioning. There are possibilities of machine failure, weather conditions, and other uncontrollable events that may occur that will cause a delay. When these things happen, we will attempt to notify you right away to inform you of the delay and when you can expect shipment.
