What is an Event Fulfillment Send?
Event Fulfillment is a Send of product intended for use at some kind of scheduled event, conference, or gathering. They also sometimes tend to be sent to the event venue or the person organizing it. Due to their time-sensitive nature, these types of Sends need special attention from our Sending Fulfillment Centers.
What isn’t Event Fulfillment?
Orders that do not qualify for Event Fulfillment status are Sends going to specific individual recipients. These types of orders will not be prioritized in the same way Event Fulfillment Sends are prioritized in our Sending Fulfillment Centers. However, if you have a Send that needs special attention, feel free to reach out to our Support Team for guidance.
Overview of Event Fulfillment Sending:
Please submit all Event Sends through the process detailed in this article.
To ensure a smooth shipping and delivery process, please review this information when preparing to place an order for an event:
- Our Sending Fulfillment Centers have longer processing times for these larger Sends.
- Orders must be placed 10 calendar days before the need-by date
- Event Fulfillment orders are for US domestic delivery only
- Sends not meeting the above timeframe will not be processed for event shipment
- We recommend choosing overnight or two-day shipping for these orders to compensate for any possible delays in processing or carrier timeframes
Considerations for admin + manager users:
- Check inventory levels of your products before placing orders. If there is insufficient inventory for the products contained in the order, this may delay fulfillment and shipping
- If the Event Fulfillment needs to contain labels or custom flyers, please review these articles: How Do I Add an Event Label to an Order? and Creating Print on Demand Notecards
- If the order requires special packing instructions or a return label included, please read this article
