Custom Order Process

From your first inquiry to confirmed delivery, every step has a clear decision and a responsible team.

ORDER WITH CONFIDENCE

A Clear Route from Inquiry to Delivery

A custom order involves more than production. This guide explains the information you provide, how quotations are approved, how design changes are controlled and what to check before shipment. Unlike our other guides, it focuses on the actual buyer journey and the documents needed to make decisions confidently.

ORDER CONTROL

Documents That Keep Your Order Clear

The most reliable orders are supported by a consistent set of records. Written approvals and version-controlled documents help both teams verify what was agreed, manage changes and prepare accurate repeat orders.

CHANGE MANAGEMENT

What Happens When Requirements Change?

Custom product requirements can change as your collection develops. Before requesting a revision, identify the affected SKU, approved artwork version, quantity and the exact detail you want to change. Changes to tile construction, print colors, accessories or packaging can have different consequences depending on whether the order is in design review, sampling, material preparation or production.

Our team can review the proposed revision and explain whether a new proof, sample or quotation is necessary. We recommend confirming any impact on costs, delivery milestones and existing work in writing before the updated instruction takes effect.

Keep one approved version of each specification and avoid sending conflicting instructions across multiple email threads. This makes it easier to distinguish a requested change from an authorized one, and helps maintain consistency for future reorders.

Optional: upload an image showing artwork review, sample approval or order planning.
BEFORE YOU ORDER

Order Process Questions

Below are detailed answers to questions that often arise during quotation, sampling, order approval, shipping and after delivery. Project-specific prices, timelines and responsibilities are always confirmed through your agreed documents.

Can I quote without final artwork?

Yes. Reference images and approximate dimensions are enough to start. We identify missing details before final pricing. Early estimates depend on the eventual approved specification.

What if I change the design?

Submit a written request with the affected SKU and version. We assess additional sampling, cost or schedule impacts before continuing.

When does production start?

Start conditions depend on the agreed terms and may include approved artwork, samples, quantities and payment. Transit time is separate from manufacturing time.

Can I combine different editions?

Possibly. Each variation needs its own quantity, artwork version and packaging specification. Additional versions may affect setup and inspection.

What shipping documents are provided?

Documents depend on the destination and agreed shipping terms. They may include an invoice, packing list, transport reference and agreed inspection evidence.

What if items arrive damaged?

Retain packaging and send the order number, quantities and photos. Claims are evaluated under the agreed shipping and quality terms.
