How to Set Up Custom Screen Printing Orders With Delivery Fees

Start with where the boxes need to land

Before you finalize a custom screen printing order, decide how the finished bags will arrive at your site. Standard freight delivery usually stops at the curb or loading dock. If your team cannot move a bulk shipment from that point to a storage room, classroom, or office, you may need to add an inside delivery service.

This decision affects both your screen printing order setup and your total delivered cost. Making it early prevents a surprise when the truck arrives.

A practical screen printing quote checklist

Use these checkpoints to gather the information your supplier needs and to avoid re-quoting later.

1. Confirm the item and print placement: Identify the exact backpack or bag model and where the custom screen print should appear. If you are unsure, ask for a mockup before approving the order.
2. Count quantities by design: List how many units you need for each print design or colorway. Bulk pricing often depends on quantity per design, so separating them clearly helps your supplier quote accurately.
3. Choose your delivery point: Decide whether curbside drop-off is enough or whether you need the shipment brought inside the building to a specific room. This is where the inside delivery fee comes in.
4. Ask about artwork and approval steps: Confirm what file format is required and whether you will see a proof before production. Get the approval deadline in writing so your ship date stays on track.
5. Request a delivered total: Ask for a quote that includes the printing, any setup charges, and the delivery service you selected. That way you can compare options on the same basis.

What the inside delivery fee covers

The Inside Delivery Fee is a separate service for orders that require delivery inside the building or to a specific room. It covers the additional handling and labor of bringing your bulk backpack and school supply order beyond the standard curbside drop-off.

This add-on is most useful for schools, offices, or organizations receiving large shipments that cannot easily be moved from the curb. It is selected during checkout as a simple add-on to your wholesale purchase.

When to add inside delivery and when to skip it

• Add it when no one can meet the truck: If your staff cannot be available at the curb or loading dock during the delivery window, inside delivery reduces the risk of a failed or delayed drop-off.
• Add it when the destination is not on the ground floor: The service is for delivery to a specific room inside the building. If your storage area is upstairs or far from the entrance, confirm with your supplier that the room is reachable before you rely on this add-on.
• Skip it when you have a receiving team: If your school or office has staff and equipment to move pallets or cartons from the curb, standard delivery may be enough and you can avoid the extra fee.
• Check the delivery address details before checkout: Make sure the room number, floor, and any access instructions are included with your order. The inside delivery fee covers bringing the shipment to the designated interior location, so an unclear address can defeat the purpose.

What to confirm about timing and access

The supplied information for the Inside Delivery Fee does not include scheduling windows, floor limits, or elevator requirements. Before you rely on inside delivery for a time-sensitive event, ask your supplier how the delivery will be scheduled and what access conditions apply.

Likewise, if your custom screen printing order has a hard deadline, confirm production and transit timelines in writing. The delivery fee listing does not state production lead times, so treat those as a separate question for your quote.

Keep the order setup simple

The most reliable screen printing order setup is one where the print details, quantities, and delivery destination are all confirmed before you pay. Use the checklist above, add the Inside Delivery Fee only if your site truly needs it, and ask for a delivered total so you can compare quotes clearly.
