- Merchandise Consistency
We encourage you to request a sample of the actual product before you order in bulk quantity. It is important that you understand that these samples are representative of nature. While we are very careful about the suppliers and manufacturers we use, manufacturing variations are unavoidable and a natural result of the manufacturing process. By choosing to place an order with Apparel Branders, you are agreeing to accept merchandise with reasonable manufacturing variances in product material, color, and packaging. The most common example of this is apparel dye-lots.
