Tap a topic to expand. By placing an order or submitting a request, you agree to the policies in effect at that time.
How ordering works
Every custom piece follows the same general path:
- Submit your order. Share your idea, timing, and any photos or inspiration through our order form, email, or another channel we use for your project.
- We review the details. We check spelling, sizing, colors, materials, and feasibility for your item and timeline.
- Follow-up if needed. We reach out before production when anything needs clarification.
- Confirmation & payment. Pricing, payment or deposit terms, and timing are confirmed before we start. We accept Venmo (@marleson-ry) and Zelle (manda@marlesonandry.com). Custom design scope and any design fee are confirmed before creative work begins.
- Proof when applicable. Some packages include a design proof. See Design proofs & revisions.
- Production & handoff. We finish your order and coordinate pickup or local delivery as confirmed.
You are responsible for spelling, names, initials, dates, colors, sizing, and design direction. Longer names or complex layouts may require adjustments to fit your item.
Prompt replies keep projects on schedule. We may reach you by email, phone, text, Instagram, or HubSpot form.
Bulk orders
Planning shirts for a team, group gifts, or multiple camp trunks? We welcome bulk orders when our schedule allows.
- Contact us early with quantity, need-by date, and design direction.
- Consistent artwork across items works best—share one approved layout or proof when possible.
- Pricing reflects size, complexity, color count, and turnaround; we confirm totals before production.
- Group turnaround is an estimate until confirmed in writing.
- Rush timing may be available; rush fees may apply (Rush orders).
Email manda@marlesonandry.com with headcount and deadline.
Pickup & delivery
- Free delivery in the Lake Highlands area when confirmed at order time and when our schedule allows.
- Pickup by arrangement when your order is complete; we share details when your piece is ready.
- Delivery outside Lake Highlands may be discussed case by case.
Delivery and pickup windows are estimates. Weather, traffic, and studio load can affect timing.
Design proofs & revisions
When your package includes a proof, we invest real design time to get your layout right. Please share as much detail as possible up front—names, spelling, colors, themes, sizing, photos, and inspiration help us nail the first round.
- Proofs and mockups are visual approximations; final placement, size, and color may vary slightly in production.
- Production begins after your approval when a proof is required. Delays in approval may delay completion.
- Additional revisions beyond your package may incur a fee, quoted before we proceed. Minor tweaks may be included; substantial creative changes are treated as custom design work.
- Changes after approval may add cost and time; changes after production starts may be limited or unavailable.
Custom design fee & design release
When you ask for something special—a fully custom concept, artwork built from scratch, or design work that goes well beyond your package—we may apply a custom design fee.
- Custom design fee pays for creative work upfront. We quote it per project before design begins; we do not publish a fixed price on the site. The fee is due when agreed design work starts and does not include a design release or production files unless we confirm that in writing.
- Credit if you order: When you complete your order with Marleson & Ry within the timeframe confirmed at quote time, the fee is credited toward your purchase total (not to exceed the quoted fee).
- If you choose not to order, the fee is still owed and non-refundable.
- Design release: To take the design to another producer, a separate fee applies (quoted before release). Release terms are confirmed in writing and do not include Marleson & Ry production or rights we cannot sublicense.
Not sure if your idea needs custom design work? Ask when you start an order.
Rush orders
Rush orders are treated as top priority when confirmed in writing. Rush timing means a need-by date under 7 days for standard production, or under 14 days when custom proof or design work is required.
Due to the time constraints rush orders require, rush work includes a minimum fee of $5 or a 15% surcharge on the order, whichever is greater, as quoted at confirmation.
Returns & refunds
Due to the personalization of our products, items are not available for return.
If your product is damaged during shipment, please reach out within 7 days of delivery at (972) 839-3706 or manda@marlesonandry.com so we can send a replacement.
If something else does not look right or you have a concern, contact us promptly so we can review the situation. Each case is considered based on the work performed, approval record, and circumstances.
We do not guarantee replacement of customer-provided items if customization cannot be completed as requested due to material limitations or pre-existing flaws. Custom design fees are non-refundable once design work has been performed.
Damage disclaimer
- Marleson & Ry is not responsible for vinyl lifting, peeling, or wear caused by surface texture, incompatible materials, normal use, or customer misuse after pickup or delivery.
- We are not responsible for damage from improper installation when the customer or a third party applies decals we did not install.
- If you provide an item for customization, we are not responsible for pre-existing flaws, manufacturer defects, or material limitations discovered during production.
- Customization on unusual surfaces carries inherent risk; we will advise when we see concerns, but results can vary.
