How to buy
Buy Custom Merch with a Purchase Order
For schools, districts, and companies whose finance office pays by PO. Here's exactly how ordering custom merch on a purchase order works with us.
Yes, we accept purchase orders. Schools, districts, and companies with a purchasing office can order custom merch on a PO: you approve a quote, your office issues the purchase order against it, we produce and inspect the order, and we invoice. Schools, districts, and universities get Net 30 on an approved purchase order with no deposit. Businesses, nonprofits, and student groups fund the run with a 50% deposit at mockup approval, with the balance due before we ship, and we handle corporate POs case by case, just ask.
How buying on a purchase order works
1. Approve a free quote
Send your design or logo and we'll return a free mockup and an itemized, delivered quote, the figure your PO is written against.
2. Your office issues the PO
Your purchasing office issues a purchase order to Your Merch Factory against the approved quote. Schools and districts order on Net 30 terms.
3. We produce
Once the PO is received, we schedule production, inspect every piece before it ships, and deliver, to one address or many.
4. We invoice on net terms
We invoice against your PO. Schools, districts, and universities pay on Net 30 terms with no deposit. Businesses, nonprofits, and student groups pay a 50% deposit at mockup approval and the balance before we ship.
W-9 on request
Need us set up as a vendor in your system? We'll send a current W-9 on request, along with our remittance details, just ask when you request the quote and we'll include it, so your accounts payable team has everything to add us before the PO goes out.
Invoicing
We invoice against your purchase order once production is scheduled. Schools, districts, and universities pay on Net 30 terms with no deposit. Businesses, nonprofits, and student groups pay a 50% deposit at approval and the balance before shipping. Every invoice is itemized to match the approved quote.
What to send for a same-day quote
The faster we get these, the faster your PO can be written against a real number:
- Your logo or artwork, any clean file works for a mockup.
- Products and quantity, what you want and roughly how many (see our bulk quantities and pricing tiers).
- Your deadline, the date you need it in hand, so we can confirm the timeline.
- Ship-to: one address or many, since split shipping affects the quote.
