Logistics
Production runs 12 to 14 business days after artwork approval. Everything else is scheduling.
Six weeks ahead of your date carries no delivery or rush charge. Four weeks adds a $40 delivery charge. Three weeks adds $40 plus a $75 rush fee.
Pins are manufactured in China and are subject to US import tariffs. This is disclosed on the quote rather than surfacing at invoice.
Method changes exposure: the fastest air options are tariff-subject, while a roughly two-week freight-forwarding route avoids the tariff entirely. With room in the deadline, the slower route is usually the cheaper one.
Hanover · MA · South Shore · club · hockey
A returning customer who couldn't name the style he wanted, whose final design was reverse-engineered from a decade-old pin someone dug out of a drawer at the rink.
Baxter · MN · Brainerd Lakes · association · hockey
An entire association covered by one order — 1,500 pins on a single invoice, with a rush that TPC had to chase the factory to protect.
Pennsville · NJ · South Jersey · hockey
A South Jersey 12AA team on a hard January deadline — routed by freight forward specifically to avoid the tariff.
