All the information about the fine details when placing an order with us
Shipping & Delivery
Orders are shipped using FedEx Ground unless otherwise requested. Most items are F.O.B. Canoga Park, California. Yafaline is not responsible for any delays by the carrier(s) and cannot be held responsible for additional shipping charges, or delays incurred. Expedited shipping and costs associated with such methods are the sole financial responsibility of the customer.
Estimated general shipping quotes can be given by Yafaline, but they are only estimates. Yafaline is not responsible for any difference in final shipping costs, with or without having been given an estimated cost.
Shipping instructions, method, delivery address and delivery date must be clearly included on purchase order. Title to goods passes to customer/distributor once we deliver the products to the carrier. Freight claims should be filed with the carrier. Delays caused by carrier (or natural disasters) are not the responsibility of Yafaline and NO refunds, credits, or returns will be given if carrier is in error. Yafaline is often billed from carriers when addresses are incorrect, residential deliveries are required or other mishaps occur because proper ship to information was not provided to us. In such cases, Yafaline will send a supplemental invoice to customer/distributor for such charges and must be paid at once.
International shipments require a UPS/FedEx number at the time the order is placed. If no shipper number is submitted, Yafaline will charge an additional $20(g) to use our shipper number and you will also be billed for shipping costs. Taxes, Duties and Broker Fees will not be quoted by Yafaline, and charges for Taxes/Duties/Broker Fees are the responsibility of the customer/recipient.
We cannot guarantee timing of delivery or arrival of delivery should an order be rerouted.
EARLY SHIPPING: We reserve the right to print and/or ship orders earlier than stated on the order acknowledgement/purchase order unless we have been notified to clearly not ship early.
Split shipments incur a $5(x) fee per location after the first location.
Handling charges are $6(a) per box on all orders.
Privacy & Security
Returns & Revisions
Returns must be authorized by Yafaline management. Unauthorized returns will not be accepted. The customer must inspect the goods immediately upon arrival, and within 5 business days of their arrival give written notice to Yafaline of any claim that the goods do not conform with the terms of the contract/order. If the customer fails to contact us within the 5 business days, and without written notice, the goods shall be deemed acceptable and the customer is bound to pay for the goods in accordance with the terms of the contract/order. Yafaline will not give refunds/credits/reprints after the 5 days have passed. Yafaline needs to be notified of any discrepancies with the order within the 5 business days and at that time will troubleshoot and determine the cause of the issue, if any. Yafaline is not responsible for incorrect information given to us by the customer, proofs or acknowledgements that were approved and sent to production.
Merchandise that has been returned will be inspected and returned back to the customer if we do not find any problem with the merchandise/order. We are not responsible for shipping the items back to our factory. No credits or refunds will be issued after 60 days of the final invoice date. Any orders that have to be reprinted due to an issue with the order will be billed in full until original order is received back and inspected.
Order revisions must be done in writing, via email or fax. You will receive an updated order acknowledgement/art proof that must be approved prior to beginning production.
CANCELLATIONS: Cancelled orders must be done via email or fax. A minimum of $30(g) plus all charges incurred to date will be billed accordingly. If the order is already in production, the full order will be billed for even when cancelled.

Payment, Pricing & Promotions
All new customers and customers on prepaid terms are required to pay by credit card prior to their order going into production. Orders will not go into production without verified pre-payment. Credit cards are charged at time of shipment. Should a credit card be declined, your order will not ship out until payment has gone through, and will delay your shipment.

Future orders will not be processed if there is an overdue balance on the account. Delays in response to requests for payment will delay the ship date.

Set ups will then not be incurred on the final order if the sample is approved. Additional Spec Samples will also be charged as the first one. Spec samples can be produced within 7 business days of the final art proof and order acknowledgement approvals. Once Spec samples are approved, production time for the entire order will begin.
