1. Does your customer have these details ready?  Having answers to these questions will save time during the ordering process:

  • What packaging and food choice does your client want?
  • How many items does your client need?
  • What type of imprint or decoration does your client want on the items?
  • Is the artwork approved?
  • Do you want cards included in the order, and if so do you have the cards or the message ready?
  • What are the ship-to addresses?
  • Is the client willing to pay rush shipping fees if necessary?
  • When is your absolute latest in-hands date?
