While we at IASpromotes.com make every attempt
to make your buying experience efficient and comprehensive, we understand
the need to sample products.
To streamline and standardize the process, we outline our policy below:
Random
Samples
A random sample is a product
sample that is pre-existing and sits in our warehouse either un-imprinted
or branded with an imprint from an order we produced for a previous client.
Due to the demand and internal costs associated with product samples,
we are forced to charge for samples on an End Qty Pricing + Freight basis.
What this means, is that we will charge the smallest unit price listed and
add our cost for freight (we will ship samples per your requested method)
to obtain your sample total.
We will offer a full credit for the cost of that sample against an order
placed with IASpromotes.com within 30 days from receipt. If multiple samples
are ordered, we will only credit against the actual items that are ordered,
not all samples. Our samples are sent directly from our world-wide network
of manufacturing facilities.
Pre-Production
Samples
A pre-production sample differs
from a random sample in that the item is emblazoned with your specific logo
and/or copy. A pre-production proof or sample, is a process where we actually
set-up one item on an appropriate print press and customize accordingly.
We then ship the sample to you for your approval.
There are costs and time tables associated with this process. Since all
of the screens, films, plates, set-ups, color separations, digitizing, etc..
needs to be completed prior to running a sample, we will charge the listed
price that corresponds to the item, print process and colors of imprint.
Costs will vary from $30 - $1500 depending on the item, process and work
that needs to be performed.
The process itself can take anywhere from 5 to 15 business days depending
on the item and work that needs to be performed. Full production will be
scheduled after proof approval.
