Standard turnaround at Battle Born Clothing is 28 days from the day you approve the digital proof. Add the proof round in front and ground shipping from Yerington, Nevada behind, and the honest answer is: order six to seven weeks before the event. Here is the week-by-week plan and what a rush actually involves.

## The clock, in order

| Step | Who | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Send art, quantity, sizes, colors | You | Day 0 |
| Quote | Battle Born Clothing | Usually same business day |
| Digital proof | Battle Born Clothing | 1-3 business days |
| Proof approval and deposit | You | Whenever you approve; the 28 days start here |
| Blanks ordered (SanMar Reno first) | Battle Born Clothing | Inside the 28 days |
| Screens, print, cure, count, pack | Battle Born Clothing | Inside the 28 days |
| Ground shipping to Nevada City / Grass Valley / Truckee | UPS or USPS | About 1-2 days once shipped |

## Counting back from the event

- **7 weeks out:** send the quote request. Sizes can be rough.
- **6 weeks out:** approve the proof. This is the date that matters. Everything after it is 28 days plus shipping.
- **2 weeks out:** shirts ship. You have them with a cushion for a short count or a size swap.
- **Event week:** shirts in hand, not on a truck.

## Nevada County's calendar

Spring fun runs, summer fairground concerts, the county fair in August, fall harvest and wine events, Victorian Christmas in Nevada City in December, and a ski season in Truckee that starts around Thanksgiving. Spring and fall are our busiest shirt months. If your event is in those windows, order on the early side of the plan.

## What delays an order

- Art that is not print-ready (a JPG of a logo, a photo of a flyer). Send vector and the proof goes out faster.
- Sizes that change after the proof. We order blanks on approval; changing the count means re-ordering.
- Sponsor logos arriving late. Set a sponsor deadline a week before the proof.
- A blank color that is out of stock at SanMar Reno. We tell you on the quote and suggest the closest in-stock color or the next warehouse.

## What a rush really means

Rush is quoted per job. We look at the press schedule, the blank availability and the shipping and give you a real date and a price, or we tell you we cannot hit it. We would rather say no than miss an event. The best rush is no rush: approve the proof six weeks out.

## Shipping from Nevada to California

Orders from Nevada City, Grass Valley, Penn Valley and Truckee ship UPS or USPS ground from our shop in Yerington, Nevada. Local pickup in Yerington is available by appointment. California orders ship from Nevada; sales tax is handled per order on the invoice. Winter weather over the Sierra can add a day to a Truckee or Nevada City delivery; we build that into the ship date we give you.

## Questions
**Can I add shirts after the proof is approved?** Sometimes, if blanks are in stock and screens are still up. Ask right away; after printing, an add-on is a new small run at a quoted rate.

**When do I pay?** Quotes and invoices come from Battle Born Clothing; the deposit is at proof approval and the balance before shipping.

**Can I pick up instead of shipping?** Yes, at the Yerington, Nevada shop by appointment. It is about 2.5 to 3 hours from Nevada City over the Sierra.
