Frequently Asked Questions


Important Update: Changes to Shipping Times

We want to keep you informed about an important update regarding our shipping timelines. Due to recent tariff changes between the U.S. and China under the Trump administration, we’ve had to adjust our logistics process.

To maintain our current pricing structure, our standard shipping lead time will shift from 1 week to 10-14 days for all orders. We understand this change may be inconvenient, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these new challenges together.

There are no changes to our quick sampling and manufacturing timelines.

Thank you for your continued support. We value your business and will keep you updated on any further changes.

At Happy Jack, our MOQ is 50 units per style per color, providing flexibility for brands of all sizes. Color splits may be available on orders over 100 caps.

2. What is the typical turnaround time for custom orders?
Our standard production timeline is approximately 4-5 weeks from the date of sample approval. Please note that turnaround times may vary depending on the complexity of the design and current production schedules. This does not include shipping time which can be 10-14 days from completion of goods.

3. Can I order samples before placing a full order?
Yes and No, we offer free pre-production photo samples / videos to ensure the final product meets your expectations. If you want a physical sample, there is a $100 sample charge plus shipping. Please allow an additional 15-20 days for physical sample production and delivery.

100% payment is required upfront to initiate production. This ensures a smooth and efficient process from start to finish.

6. How are shipping costs calculated?
All of our shipping costs are included in the cost per unit for domestic orders. For international shipping outside of the U.S., additional shipping fees may apply depending on the destination.

7. Can I cancel or return my order?
Due to the custom nature of our products, orders cannot be canceled once production has begun. We do not accept returns on custom items unless there is a manufacturing defect. That defect would have to be inspected and return approved by us on a case by case basis. If the product is made to the specs approved by you and you change your order that is not a returnable job. 

8. What is your artwork policy?
All artwork must be approved in writing before production begins. Happy Jack is not responsible for any errors in client-provided artwork. All artwork should be submitted at 100% scale to ensure accurate results. Please check your sizing on caps you have to ensure your dimensions work. We are here to guide you if you need help. Please double-check your designs for spelling and colors accuracy before submission. We can help choose colors but if you have your own Pantone colors it is preferred.

9. Who is responsible for intellectual property rights?
Clients are responsible for ensuring that all submitted designs do not infringe on trademarks or copyrights. Happy Jack is not liable for any intellectual property disputes arising from client-provided designs.

10. What is included in the cost per unit?
Our pricing includes production, customization, and domestic shipping costs. Additional charges may apply for optional services like physical samples, expedited shipping, or rush production.

11. Do you offer rush production?
Yes, we offer rush production for an additional fee. Please get in touch with us directly to discuss your timeline and availability. If current manufacturing schedule allows for a rush job it is available. If it does not we can work with you to try to achieve the deadline.

12. What happens if there is a defect in my order?
If you receive an item with a manufacturing defect, you must notify us within 3 days of receiving your order. This is a strict policy; we cannot address defects reported after this period. We will work with you promptly to resolve any issues within this timeframe. We suggest a physical sample if you feel you would like to check your cap in person.

13. Can I make changes to my order after production starts?
Once production begins, changes to your order cannot be made. Please review your order and artwork carefully before final approval.

31. What is the difference between a pre-production photo sample/video and a physical sample?
A pre-production photo/video sample is a detailed photo or video of your cap design for approval before production begins. A physical sample is an actual cap produced and shipped to you for review. Physical samples have an additional charge and take more time to deliver.
