Customized Girl Becomes 2023 Member of Haunters Against Hate Organization

Customized Girl is proud to announce that we have joined the growing 2023 list of members for the non-profit organization Haunters Against Hate! HAH started in 2016 as a simple statement in response to the tragic shooting at Pulse Night Club and has since grown to become a nationally recognized 501(c)3 nonprofit organization by the IRS to benefit LGBTQ+ youth organizations across the United States. Just like HAH, we too believe that hate is the scariest thing of all.

What Exactly Are Supply Chain Issues and How Do They Affect You?

It’s no surprise that the ongoing global pandemic has put a strain on our global supply chain. Across all industries, we have seen businesses struggle to stay afloat with the increasing amount of labor shortages, lack of shipping containers, delays in shipping routes, and historic weather occurrences, which can all attribute to major price increases, unavailability of certain products, and delivery delays for ordered products.

Because we care for our customers and believe in maintaining full transparency, we want to provide a little insight into what this means at Customized Girl and how it affects you.

Price Increases

In an effort to combat elevated shipping costs, increased cost of materials, and other supply chain issues, price increases have been implemented on select items on Customized Girl, which became effective as of September 22, 2021. While the idea of price increases might seem unpleasant, we want to assure you of how exactly these changes will benefit our customers. For instance, higher prices mean better quality products. A price adjustment helps to keep up with the demand for the products that you love. We are also focused on providing you with increased product options, hiring more production associates to help with getting your orders out in time, and a better customer experience all around.

Inventory Availablity

While shopping on our site, you may notice that only certain sizes are available for certain products. Because of the global shipping backlog, it is increasingly difficult to get inventory on our shelves in a timely manner. We are doing everything in our power to keep all sizes available for all of our products, but the ongoing labor shortage and shipping delays make this a challenge. If you don’t see a size or color in a certain style that you want, we encourage you to check back daily as we are constantly updating our available inventory as we are updated on its availability.

Tracking Delays

We’d also like to address order tracking. With the holiday season coming up, carriers are becoming increasingly busy which can lead to delayed updates for tracking numbers. There is no need to worry, just be aware that there are various causes for a delay in your tracking information updating, including increased holiday purchasing, worsening weather conditions, and carrier delays across all carrier companies. If you have any concerns about your tracking information, our Customer Experience team is here to help answer any and all of your questions.

Shipping Delays

As with most businesses right now, shipping delays are the most common concern for customers. We’d love to guarantee that your order will be delivered to you by the estimated time of delivery, but unfortunately, it is oftentimes out of our control. All major carriers are experiencing shipping delays which in turn, could delay your package from getting from our facility to your home. With that said, we strongly recommend planning ahead, ordering early, and allowing for extra lead time for your orders to be shipped to you.

Takeaways

If there’s one thing we hope you will take away from this post, it’s to order your holiday gifts early and expect delays! We will always do everything in our power to provide our customers the products and experience they deserve in a timely manner. Our website is built to keep you updated on what is in stock and how long it should take for your package to arrive. We will always update you with any new arrivals on the site, as well as any other important updates that may affect your purchase or delivery. If you haven’t already, we encourage you to follow us on social media and sign up via email and text to receive exclusive offers, early access, and more.

We sincerely want to thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate through these unprecedented logistical challenges. It’s because of you all that we are able to continue doing what we love and provide you with the best in custom apparel and accessories. Thank you!

2. Is the delivery date guaranteed?

Currently, all delivery dates are estimated. Shippers and vendors are experiencing delays in moving packages because of the challenges brought about by the pandemic. eCommerce businesses are impacted, which in turn, may affect the estimated delivery dates indicated at Checkout.

We are unable to print copyrighted or protected images.

6. Can we combine promo codes?

We can only apply one promo or discount at a time per order. Our system will use the greater discount and it will be shown on the cart page. For example: If the customer received 5% off with a group discount, but would like to apply a 25% off promo code, the system will allow that. OR we can provide the difference of 20% in a refund. To receive promo codes, we recommend signing up for our email newsletter at the very bottom of any page because we do send out great coupon codes for discounts! You can also sign up to receive SMS text messages straight to your phone!

7. Where can I find details on sizing?

If you don’t know what size to choose when ordering apparel, you can look at the size chart to provide you with measurements. Additionally, in the size chart you will see a graphic that displays if the product runs big, small or is true to size. The size chart is located to the right of the price just above the “ADD TO CART” button in our design center. You can also find that information under the “PRODUCT INFO” tab.

NNEMAP Food Pantry & Customized Girl

Customized Girl is teaming up with the Columbus, Ohio based NNEMAP Food Pantry to help provide additional meals to families in need in the Columbus, Ohio area.

In unprecedented times you’re forced to stop and reflect. What really matters? What is actually important in our lives? For us the answer was simple. Those we love and those in our community.

We decided we wanted to do something to help those groups. It was an easy decision to make. We knew we had a connection to a local food bank, the NNEMAP Food Pantry, and we knew that we could print inspiring shirts with local appeal.

We put two and two together and came up with a special storefront on our site called the ‘Buy A Shirt, Buy A Meal‘ storefront. We made some special unique designs you can only get on this storefront and decided that all the profit that comes from these sales will go directly to the NNEMAP food pantry to help keep their shelves stocked.

In difficult times, unity becomes more important than making a sale and we wanted to feel that unity with our community. We hope you feel the same and will buy one of our fun and inspiring designs. You’re not just supporting us, a small local business in Columbus, Ohio, you’re also supporting community resources that keep people fed.

Thank you for your support! We are all in this together.
