How do I place an order?
There are lots of ways to order from us.

You can also browse our online catalog and "Add to Inquiries" the items you are interested in.
Or, just call us at 512/491-0344 or toll free outside the Austin area call 877-6THREADS (877-684-7323).
Why don't you have e-commerce (where I can buy online)?
We don't accept online purchases because embroidery is a custom product. Designs must be digitized (converted to stitches and set up to be embroidered) and may require modification. For example, many brands contain an image and tagline but there are limitations to how small you can get good lettering with embroidery, sometimes a tagline must be modified or dropped for embroidery.
Once your order is finalized and artwork is approved, you will receive an invoice via e-mail which you can then pay online to start your order.
What is your minimum order?
We don't have a minimum order for embroidered apparel and accessories from our online catalog, however, orders of less than ten items do not qualify for waiver of set up charges and free shipping. A flat fee of $15 applies instead.
You can mix and match items to get up to a total of ten by the way such as six polos and four caps, etc.
When shopping in our promotional products catalog, minimum orders are different for each product and explained in the item description or options.
What is your turnaround time?
Embroidered apparel and accessories orders up to 144 pieces should be shipped within 7-10 business days after the order is finalized and artwork approved. Embroidery on customer-supplied items can generally be completed in 5-7 business days. Shipping time is then added, usually one day ground to most of Texas.
Turnaround for larger orders will be provided with quote.
All other promotional products distributed by THREADS have estimated production times described in the product's details plus shipping from the manufacturer.
How will I receive my artwork for approval?
For embroidery, Threads will provide an electronic rendering of a digitized logo for customer approval. Colors will be matched as closely as possible to available thread colors using standard industry conversion charts.
Presentation of proofs, color and placement information for other imprinted items vary though we try to provide online proofing in most cases.
