Orders of samples on items that have a minimum order requirement will have a sample fee of $20 for each item style where the order quantity falls below the minimum order (this pertains to custom items and made to order items like ponchos, custom flags, etc.).
SHIPPING WAIVERS
Packages are typically sent with signature required. Our credit card company requires this. Customers who prefer that packages be left if they are not there to sign for the package must leave a note for the delivery company asking them to leave the package without signature. For insurance reasons, we cannot waive the requirement for signature so it is the customer's responsibility to leave a note requesting the carrier leave their package without a signature. Please note that, by accepting your package without signature, you agree to waive all liability on the part of Leslie's Best, Inc. and any other shipping entities for lost or stolen packages.
CLAIMS
It is important that customers check their orders the day it arrives to make sure it arrived free of damage and is correct. Any order errors (such as wrong colors, sizes, item numbers, incorrect quantities, etc.) must be reported within two (2) days of receipt of order. Any errors or shortages cannot be processed after the two (2) day deadline.
DAMAGED FREIGHT
We cannot be held responsible for products damaged during shipping. It is the responsibility of the consumer to inspect all merchandise immediately upon delivery and to properly file all freight claims to obtain replacement equipment or compensation for repairs. All products are carefully inspected and packaged by our shipping department prior to release from our warehouse. Upon delivery to the freight carrier, the shipment technically becomes your property. We make every effort to ensure that all shipments are packed carefully to avoid damage, which greatly reduces the likelihood of damage during transit. Nonetheless, shipping damage can sometimes still occur. An insurance claim has to be filed and finalized before compensation is issued to the customer or product is replaced. contact us within 3 business days of delivery to initiate a claim. All claims are usually processed within 2 weeks from the time of initiation. Any payment made by a the shipping carrier is completely voluntary, and is subject to approval based on investigation and evidence available. If the carrier claims responsibility for the lost or damaged item, insurance reimbursement will be issued to Leslie's Best, Inc. In return, a replacement item will be sent to you. Meanwhile here’s what you can do to make sure you get the best outcome:
- Before signing the delivery receipt, make sure you have received all the items on your order (unless the receipt specifies that something will be shipped separately). If anything is missing from the shipment, note this on the delivery receipt and have the driver sign your copy.
- Always note any external damage to cartons on the delivery receipt and have the driver sign your copy.
- We recommend that you unpack each carton in the driver's presence and carefully inspect each item. Note any damage on the delivery receipt and have the driver sign your copy. Contact the carrier immediately to file a claim.
- If you discover concealed damage after the driver has left, immediately call the carrier and request inspection. Keep all the packing materials and contents in the same condition as when the damage was discovered.
- It is a good idea to take pictures immediately after discovering concealed damage in order to support your claim.
- The shipping company may contact you for information on the claim. The results of your claim, and therefore your refund or replacement, may be dependent on the information you provide to the shipping company.

DEADLINES
We jump over hurdles to get orders to our customers by their deadlines, and we have an awesome track record! We deal with professional sports teams, Hollywood movie studios, large school districts, and other individuals and organizations who always need everything YESTERDAY! So we work hard to make the impossible possible. If you list a shipping deadline on your order and the shipping method you ordered will not get it there in time, we will try calling you to give you other shipping options and prices that will ensure you get it by your deadline (this does not include custom or made to order products like poms, imprinted items, etc.). If you need to receive an order within 4 weekdays, we HIGHLY suggest calling us with your order so we can make sure your order is processed immediately and discuss delivery service options. When ordering "guaranteed" delivery services, please remember that though delivery companies guarantee certain deliveries, none of the delivery companies have a 100% track record for being on time. It's probably more like 99.9% of the shipments that are on time. That is why we suggest on the website that customers, whenever possible, try to get their packages at least one weekday early just in case they fall in that 0.1% group that does not get their package on the courier's guaranteed date. To avoid delays, please make sure all your information on your order is correct and that you provide us with a daytime phone number where we can easily reach you...because we can't take care of you unless we have your explicit approval on any shipping quotes besides the standard quotes listed on our website's ordering forms. Orders delayed due to customer providing us with incorrect address cannot be returned. Also, if you need your order by a specific date, and order a delivery method that is not guaranteed, we are not liable if it does not arrive by your deadline. PLEASE REMEMBER: Shipping delivery times do NOT include production times on items that are not in stock items. Please also note that during the rush season dates noted on the website, orders may not ship for several days due to the significantly higher volume of orders (so the delivery transit times listed are in addition to separate from the order processing time). Ordering faster shipping only changes shipping time, not production time. Leslie's Best, Inc. is not responsible for delays in production and shipping times that are beyond our control. Ship dates may be delayed on imprinted items if artwork is not received with order or if it requires clean up by the art department. This includes but is not limited to holidays, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, delivery company delays, etc. We try our best to communicate potential delays whenever possible. We ship FOB Point of Origin, so the customer takes title once the order leaves our docks. Orders that are drop shipped will not typically be sent tracking numbers. If you would like a tracking number, please contact us and we'd be happy to get it for you. Otherwise, we strongly suggest contacting us immediately if you have not received your package by the due date so we may track it to make sure there are no problems with the shipment. Any items lost, damaged or delayed by transportation companies (or other delays as noted above) are beyond our control. Claims for lost/damaged items must be made by the customer directly with the transportation company. Transportation companies have standard procedures for damaged and/or lost item claims which must be followed to remedy claim. Leslie's Best, Inc. will provide assistance in filing claims as a courtesy to the customer. We assume no liability for delays due to conditions beyond our control, and cannot refund orders that do not arrive on time through no fault of our own. Custom and made to order items that are delivered past a deadline through no fault of our own cannot be returned or refunded. Refunds for delays resulting in missed deadlines on expedited shipping orders will be limited to the difference between the expedited charge and Ground delivery. The courier (UPS, USPS, Fedex, etc.) will make the final decision regarding any related credits or refunds. If the courier agrees to it, we'd be happy to ship a replacement for any lost packages and will make every effort to get it to the customer by their deadline. So if your package is lost or stolen, please let us know immediately and specify your deadline so we may work to get you taken care of.
RUSH SEASONS: Due to the significant increase in the volume of orders (especially rush orders) during our rush season, we cannot guarantee same day shipping on rush orders during the following time frames:
- August 15th - October 15th
- September 1st - September 30th
- December 9th - December 23rd
So please allow extra time for processing of orders during the rush seasons. We will try our best to get orders out the same day, but cannot guarantee all rush orders will ship the same day.
HOLIDAY SHIPPING NOTE: Expedited deliveries' transit times after December 9th may be slower than the delivery times listed above due to the larger shipping volumes. For example, after December 9th Priority Delivery is not averaging 2-4 weekdays and FedEx and UPS 1, 2, 3 Day deliveries may no longer be guaranteed for 1, 2, 3 weekdays. Please call us if you have questions on whether a delivery method will get to you by your deadline so we can make sure you choose a delivery that is guaranteed to reach you in time (this is suggested for any time of the year, but especially so for the holiday shipping season).
CANCELLATION & REFUSED ORDERS
If you need to cancel your order, and you are able to notify us before your order is processed for shipment, then we will be happy to cancel it for you. If your order has already been processed for shipment by the time you contact us to cancel your order, it will be handled as a return at that time and may incur a restock fee. On cancelled orders that have already been charged, but have not been shipped will incur a 10% cancellation fee (figured from the total charged to the customer's credit card). This helps us to not lose money when paying employees to handle cancellation paperwork necessary to refund the customer's payment. Please allow up to two weeks (not including holidays and closures) for your refund to show on your account. So when ordering, please review your order and shipping carefully before pushing the "Submit order"button to finalize your order. We are here to help you if you have any questions before placing your order.
Online orders are automatically processed using our order management program using the delivery method customer selects. If the customer orders using a delivery method that states the transit time may cause the order to be delivered after the customer's deadline, any cancellations of the order will be handled as a return and will incur restock fees as stated in that product's Return Policy.
All cancellations must be in writing (either via fax or email). We will email confirmation of your cancellation within two business days along with information on any possible cancellation fees. We cannot be liable for any cancellations not received, so if you have not received confirmation that we cancelled your order, please contact us immediately to ensure we received your cancellation request.
Refused orders (those not accepted by the purchaser from the delivery company) on any product will not be processed and will be held until customer makes arrangements to have merchandise picked up. Any refused shipments not followed up within 14 days of refusal will be forfeited and void...no exceptions.
