Our pricing is based on a 60 piece combined minimum order. This means you may order any combination of items and the total must add up to 60 pieces. You may order as few as 30 pieces combined but under order fees will apply. Please note that there is a 30 piece minimum for bling hoodies and that accessories do not count towards the combined order totals. Under order fees for small items like sports bras will be $2 while under order fees for large items like hoodies will be $5.
The basic and mid range uniforms have a minimum of 15 uniforms. Our pricing for the custom uniforms is based on a 50 uniform order. There is a single under order fee for 40-49 custom uniforms and a double under order fee for 30-39 custom uniforms. We do not go below 30 for the custom uniforms. Pricing for custom uniforms will depend on the complexity of the uniform, the total amount of uniforms you are getting and how many rhinestones you are getting. Our prices generally run about US$175 for 50 custom uniforms using our stock rhinestones but that can go up depending on how many rhinestones are needed and what kind of rhinestones used.
We did nothing but the dye sub accessories for years. We have discontinued almost all of those items and now we only make a few. There is no minimum order total needed for these but they must be ordered with a practice wear order and ship with it. We cannot make the accessories without a practice wear order.
Our standard turnaround time for orders is 3-4 weeks for practice wear, basic uniforms and mid range uniforms. Custom uniforms are usually done in about the same time but may take up to 5 weeks. Please note that custom uniforms have a longer development time that can last 4-6 weeks of making mock ups, prototypes and sizing samples. Orders can be done on a rush basis but rush fees will apply.
Yes, for confirmed orders of 100 pieces or more of practice wear we do send out sizing samples. We also send out sizing samples for basic and mid range uniforms for confirmed orders of 60 or more. For orders less than these totals we only send out our sizing chart. We send out sizing samples for all custom uniform orders.
You can send an email to info@cs-athletic.com. Tell us what items you are looking to order and roughly how many you are looking to order. Also send us your gym or team logo in vector format (if you have it in vector), your team colors and any style designs you might like. Once we get that we will get back to you with some design ideas and you can make revisions until you are happy with the design.
No, we do not have artwork fees and shipping is included in the cost of the orders.
No, our products are actually higher quality than everyone else in the cheer market today. We are the ones who started the dye sublimation apparel craze in cheerleading back in 2010. We have been doing dye sublimation for bags, hats, car flags and many other accessory items since 2002. In 2010 we started our dye sub line of sports bras, shorts and tanks and since then every cheerleading apparel company out there has been jumping in and trying to do dye sublimated apparel. It is our manufacturing process, set up and management that makes us so hard to beat. We have our own factories in China and the Philippines that we manage directly and have developed for over 15 years. Our dye sublimated apparel is made out of Italian fabrics, Italian inks and manufactured with American supervision. There are many other cheer leading apparel suppliers in the market today who are simply trying to become rich by marking up the product 200% or 300% from the cost of production. Our sports bras sell for US$17 while these other companies are selling them from $25 up to $34. None of them are as high quality as ours. None of them have the years of experience making dye sublimated apparel as we do. Dye sublimation looks easy. But manufacturing numerous small orders with many designs in many different sizes is actually a very difficult thing to do. The larger apparel companies out there really struggle with such a diverse line of items at their own facilities while the smaller apparel suppliers are importing inferior product from Mexico, China or Pakistan. Our factories were specifically made for this type of nimble production and in fact, it is all we have known since we started business in 1997.
