What is the minimum order quantity for your apparel manufacturing services?

We provide the service of smaller minimums orders of 50 pieces per design to apparel companies and brands all over the world. So they can start their company with unique designs and market them to get more orders. This small quantity also avoids sampling hassles for brands wanting to order more, but first, they need to check the market for their designs.

What is the duration of order receiving?

We prefer to satisfy the Client by both the Apparel quality and the order process’s timeliness. Still, this part requires your cooperation, which is why it is good if the customer promptly replies to everything we ask for. The duration of the order receives also depends on the quantity and process complexity of the order.

Do you have any work discounts services or programs?

Alhamd Apparel offers quantity discounts and promotional discounts that are seasonally introduced for our regular customers. By quantity discount, we mean the more overall garments you order of the same design, the less each garment will cost.
If you are trying to order only 30 or 50 shirts, try increasing your quantity of shirts to 100, 200, or even 500. And see the difference in price per piece.

Can I order a sample before ordering?

Yes, you can order a sample before ordering. Pre-production samples are produced the same way as all the garments will eventually be produced in large-scale Production. We can accommodate your request during Production if you would like a sample before putting in the actual production order.
Still, we will have to charge for the sample shipment and ask you to make a reasonable deposit to ensure that you are serious about ordering the same garment. We provide both prototyping and sample production services.

What will happen to my order if I failed to approve the sample?

If you fail to reply or approve any sample emailed/sent to you within a month, your order will automatically be put on hold and restart when we receive your approval.

Is your website apparel catalog all you have?

The website list is not our complete selection of customizable apparel products. Cut and Sew Apparel has partnered with several apparel suppliers, and we have access to numerous types of products and materials. You can see our portfolio section for more ideas about our Manufacturing.
If you do not see what you want, please let us know, and we will arrange it according to your order. We manufacture high-quality, customizable products precisely according to our Client’s specifications.

Can I bring my own garments to Cut and Sew Apparel for embroidery, screen printing, or other services?

No, you cannot bring your raw material or garments. Because we work on creating Apparel from scratch, we offer you 100% quality assurance on all the products we manufacture. So that, when you order your custom-made clothes, we can assure you of high-end quality products.
Further, our Production takes place in Pakistan, so it is expensive for a customer to ship the fabric, and more cost-effective to buy it from here.

Do you send proofs prior to apparel production?
You will always receive proof of your order from Cut and Sew Apparel before it is put into Production. We do not print, embroider, sublimate, or create anything without your express or written approval, and we will try to show as many pictures as you want until you are satisfied and give us the go-ahead with the Production.

How long does it typically take to restock an order?

We have a fast order turnaround system. A quick restock is possible if a product sells much faster than expected. The 17 working days timeframe is a standard rough estimate given to all clients because orders do not take long to complete. The order turnaround depends on the details of a given project, like the quantity of order, the production process, services rendered, and the complexity of the order.
But restocking within 2 months will enable us to give you a low time frame overall, and since we don’t have to go through the approvals again, the timeframe is shortened automatically.

When does the clock start for my order turnaround time?

The turnaround time starts from the day you approve the order summary that will be sent out to you within 24 hours of your payment. Therefore, thoroughly review the order summary as no changes can be made once it is forwarded to the production department.

How can I make sure my order is not delayed?

We are always more than happy to update you on the status of your order. We believe that our customers should be aware of how their garment is being made, so we also give our customers a live broadcast of Production on request. We will also inform you about any delays in the production process if there are some issues.
Because all the garments are cut and sewed products with diversified options, there is a possibility of delay in arranging fabric that is notably not running.

Can you do rush orders?

Yes, we do provide the service of a rush order. Just indicate that your production order should be rushed when you are ordering. Because if you have submitted an order and then asked for it to be rushed, there is a chance our schedule of Production will not allow us to fulfil your order as requested at the rushed time. There is a rush fee which is calculated by the day.

What if I want to add additional garments after I have already placed an order?

You can add garments within three days of placing your order. It all depends on the order type and how much time has passed. Once the adjustment period has passed, which is three days, we cannot make quantity adjustments to your order.

What if I want to cancel my order?

When is payment due?

Payment is due once a customer places an order. The payment percentage depends on the ordering quantity and type of product.

What kind of payment will you accept?

We accept payments from Paypal, Payoneer Money gram, Bank transfers And Western Union.

Can you give me an estimate of shipping cost?

The shipment cost would depend mostly on your ordering quantity and the product type. The prices we quote include shipment; hence, when you send us the designs for a quote, we will be able to give you an actual cost inclusive of everything.
DHL, FedEx, and Sky net Couriers are our primary shipping and delivery carriers. DHL and FedEx Priority mail may take up to four to five days to arrive, and DHL Parcel Post can take two weeks to arrive within USA or Canada and up to two to three weeks to HI and AK.

Can you e-mail me, contact me, or otherwise get in touch with me regarding a clothing piece I am interested in creating?

Yes. But before talking to you, we were hoping you could send us the basic information about your order to save time. For example, speaking with a representative before submitting your information like CAD, mockup, and tech-pack is essentially pointless if you are interested in Cut and Sew Manufacturing.
We need a lot of information to answer any questions you may have. It may seem like a broad, easily-answered question to you, but it actually hinges on several factors, depending on your chosen service.
We can gather specific, relevant information about your product, garment, and project and give you one accurate and correct answer hand-tailored to your piece, situation, and finances.

Yes, we are proud to introduce our 100% quality guarantee policy for all our products. We offer 100% quality assurance; not a single piece will be defective. If you order 100 pieces, you will get 100 pieces that are accurate as per your description. Our 100% quality guarantee policy includes:

    2. No loose threads.
    3. No stitching errors.
    4. 100% preshrunk.
    5. No stains.
    6. No printing mistakes.
    7. According to provided sizes with 1-inch tolerance.
    8. Quality packing.

Because we believe in the mutual growth of the Client and the company. We refer our clients to the customer by doing promotional activities for the Client, with their Clothing Brand Name and other contact details publically available for them.

Do you have a non-disclosure policy?

Yes, we have a non-disclosure policy. Normally, we have our previous work as our portfolio on the website. But, we can remove it from the website on special notices if the other party doesn’t want us to disclose their designs.

Do you have any refund policy?

We provide our customers with strict quality-controlled goods without exemption according to Alhamd Apparel quality standards. Once the customized goods have been shipped, we do not accept refunds or returns. So you can ask for pictures, video conference or visit our website to check the order quality.
You can make any changes on the garments as long as the order is with us, but once it is shipped, we can still make the changes, but you will have to pay for the shipment and re-shipment of the garments.
