FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Ordering sportswear can be a complicated process so we have put together some frequently asked questions to help you through the process. If there is something that we don't cover here, feel free to fill out the form at the bottom of the page or send us an email to sales@emusportswear.com.au.

DESIGNING

WHERE DO I START?

I know what I am looking for: Visit our online Kitbuilder and browse through the various sports and designs to start creating your custom sportswear today. If you know the product but don't have a design in mind then you'll find plenty of inspiration here.


I don't know what I need: Don't panic, we will help. Give us a call or visit our Contact page. Here you can find information on our office locations and their contact details, or you can request a call back by filling out our inquiry form. We will then get back to you to talk about your apparel needs. We can create multiple designs for you to choose from and you can customise and change anything as we go.

HOW CUSTOM MADE CAN WE MAKE THEM?

We can customise the sportswear with any designs with any colours, logos or wording. We strive to provide you with the exact look you want and if you have more questions, don't hesitate to get in contact with us today.

HOW MUCH DOES ARTWORK COST?

Our artwork charges will range according to the design. In most instances the artwork is free however please contact us to discuss your requirement.

CAN YOU COPY AN EXISTING DESIGN FROM A SAMPLE?

Yes, we can copy artwork from a design as long as you are the artwork copyright holder. We do not advise using pre-existing designs from other suppliers however we can create similar designs if required.

If you already have a product that you would like us to replicate the design, this can also be done. If the design is very detailed we may need you to send us the physical product so we can check measurements, colours and positions. We do not replicate the exact pattern or product from other suppliers, but your design will be applied to an equivalent product from within our range. 

WHAT ARE YOU ARTWORK LEAD TIMES?

Artwork lead time are generally 3 – 5 days once we have received and confirmed your request. Please discuss urgent artwork requirements with us.

I'M A GRAPHIC DESIGNER CAN I SUPPLY PRINT READY ARTWORK?

No. You can supply us with artwork that we can place into our templates and patterns. Our artwork is very specific to our ink, machinery, and production processes. We cannot submit anything to our factories until all of colours and files conform to our factories requirements. 

WHAT FILE FORMAT DO I NEED FOR MY LOGOS?

Ideally for the highest quality designs and logo applications we should receive the files as vectorised artwork. We prefer 'vector' logos as they provide the highest quality finish when printed. If you only have image files (jpeg's, png's, tiff or bitmap files) these will usually work however we may have to re-draw them depending on the quality. This will incur an additional cost and add to the production time.  


 Below are the preferred file formats:


.ai (Adobe Illustrator): This is a vector based file created in Adobe Illustrator and is the preferred format for all decoration and will produce the highest quality finish


.eps (Encapsulated Post Script): A true EPS will be a vector based file and can therefore be used in the same way as an Adobe illustrator file to produce a high quality finish


.pdf (portable document file): A high resolution PDF file is acceptable as long as the original file was created in Adobe Illustrator

HOW MANY LOGOS CAN I ADD TO MY DESIGN?

You can add unlimited logos/sponsors to all of our sublimated sportswear and team wear products at no extra cost. We will always give advice and suggest the best positions and applications for your logos. We understand that there is a fine line between utilising logo positions and becoming a walking billboard. 


For stock products the quantity of logos you are able to apply will be limited. This depends on which product you require and also the application method possible.

CAN YOU DESIGN A LOGO FOR ME?

Absolutely! For a cost we can completely customise a brand new logo for you.

WHAT GRAPHICS SOFTWARE DO YOU USE?

We use CorelDRAW to create artwork. We supply artwork files for approval as JPEGs and PDFs. We use vector files for printing so when possible we prefer you to supply vector artwork. However we will always try to use your supplied artwork in the first instance. 

CAN I ADD INDIVIDUAL NAMES AND/OR NUMBERS TO MY PRODUCT?

Yes, you can. Please double check all spelling, numbering and sizing as we print exactly what has been supplied and approved. Please take note – certain fonts contain only uppercase or lowercase text and some non text characters may not appear as expected. Some fonts and numbers may need to be scaled to fit smaller sized patterns.

CAN I PROVIDE SPECIFIC COLOURS FOR MY DESIGN?

Yes, if you have a club or brand colour that you would like us to match, then please mention this to us during the design process. However colour matching is subjective and having a 100% colour match may not be possible due to the difference between colour on screen, pantone cards and printed fabric. 


Through the years we have created our own unique colour chart. We cover all of the main colours but are happy to match your specific colour tone or pallette if necessary. 


If you are unable to provide us with a Pantone code for your logo or uniforms, we will work to create as close a colour match as possible for your approval. 

CAN YOU EMBROIDER MY LOGO?

  

ORDERING

HOW DO I PLACE MY ORDER?

You can start the process right now by designing your sportswear on our Kitbuilder or get in contact with us via phone or email.

CAN I GET SAMPLES TO TRY?

We offer an extensive range of custom and stock products with varying fabrics and styles to choose from. If you are looking for a generic sample, our sales representatives are more than happy to show and explain to you the products we can offer. Just contact us to start the process. 


We don't advise creating specific individual samples to see what your garment will actually look like. This can be timely and does incur additional costs.  

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT MY SIZE IS?

We offer a general size guide which lists the measurements and sizes for our men's, women's and children's products. We have created our sizes to flow across our full range of sportswear and team wear. This means that if you are a men's medium in our polo shirt, then a medium in our training singlet or our hoodies should also fit you. 

We understand that sizes vary from person to person but we have created our specific sizes over a number of years and constantly compare them to the latest trends and fashions. 

Please keep in mind that all sportswear brands have different sizing and that you should always check your measurements before placing an order. You can watch our help videos for extra clarification on how to get your sizes.

If you are still unsure then contact us to arrange a meeting with your regional sales representative. We can then demonstrate the sizing and the range of products.

CAN I BUY ONLINE?

Yes you can create and order your teams custom uniforms direct from our online Kitbuilder. This is a hassle free method which allows you to place an order without talking to anyone. Don't panic though as once we receive your order there will be a full approval process before the final order is placed. 


Alternatively if your club or organisation has set a club shop up with us then you will also be able to buy items from your specific shop.  


Simple steps to shopping online;


- Add your selected products to the shopping cart and proceed to checkout.

If you wish to remove an item from your shopping cart simply click the delete button in your shopping cart. If you wish to edit an item in your cart, this can be done on your cart. 

Once you are ready to finalise your order, click the next step button.

WHAT IS YOUR MINIMUM ORDER QUANTITY?

Custom Products - For custom made items we have set minimum order quantities depending on the product. As a general rule though, most of our custom made items have a minimum order of 10 items per style. You can find out the minimum order quantities by visiting your sport and specific product within our Kitbuilder sports.


Stock Products - For our stock products there are no minimum order quantities. You can order as much or as little as you need. 


Feel free to call us to find out the minimum quantities of custom made garments for your sport.

CAN I ADD EXTRA ITEMS TO AN EXISTING ORDER?

Please speak directly to your account manager as soon as you know you need more. This is on a case by case basis and depends at which stage your order is up to. 

As soon as you have approved your initial order we send your order details to our factory to start the manufacturing stage. Unfortunately once we reach this stage we are unable to accept any changes or additions to your order. That includes any amendments in quantity, design or fabrics.

CAN I REORDER EXTRA ITEMS FROM A PREVIOUS ORDER?

Yes you can. We understand that sometimes a reorder or top up order is necessary, especially when dealing with whole clubs. As we will already have placed your order and have your details on record it makes reordering the extremely easy. However we do require that you reach the minimum order quantity per product. Please talk to you account manager about the required quantity for your custom products. Generally we require a minimum of 10 units per style but this will vary. 

CAN I CANCEL/AMEND MY ORDER?

Once your order has been placed, it is too late to adjust items within your order or cancel your order, as your order will have been sent to the factory. If you still would like to attempt to make a change, we're always willing to do our best for you so please call us on (07) 4771 2091 or contact your account manager directly. Please do not email with these requests as we will be able to take action quicker via a phone call.


If it is a change to your delivery address then please follow the above steps and contact us directly by phone.

SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY ORDER.

We are really sorry if we have made a mistake. If we have sent you an incorrect item or there is a mistake with your order, please Contact us immediately and we can look to resolve the error. We aim to avoid these issues with several stages of approvals stages and quality control checks. If you need further information on this, please call us on (07) 4771 2091.

THE ITEM I WANT IS SOLD OUT. WILL YOU GET MORE IN?

Generally we do not hold stock of any items for external clubs or organisations. We only show items that are available in stock if it is an EMU Sportswear or EV2 Sportswear product. Should an item be ordered and we have no stock available we will notify you once we have received your order. 


With our club shops if an item states it is sold out this means that the shop has closed and no more pre order sales can be placed at this time. In the first instance please contact your club or organisation if you have missed a shop cut off date and would like to place an order. 

PAYMENT

WHAT PAYMENT OPTIONS DO YOU ACCEPT?

Buying online with us is safe and secure however we do appreciate that some people prefer not to order or provide their credit card details over the internet. 

We accept the following payment types:
- Bank transfer

Payment options will be available during the final stages of your online purchase through our Shop. Alternatively if you are placing a team order with one of our account managers our payment terms will be made available via a digital link as well as listed on your invoice. 


WHAT CURRENCIES DO YOU WORK IN AND ACCEPT?

All online prices appear in Australian Dollars (AUD) only.

WHAT DOES 'PENDING TRANSACTION' MEAN?

When placing an order with a debit/credit card, a request is sent to the bank to ensure the account has sufficient funds available. The bank then places a temporary hold on the funds whilst the transaction is authorised and security checks are performed, allowing the merchant to collect those funds at a later date at the point of dispatch. If for any reason the pending transaction fails these checks, we will decline the transaction, and the bank will release these funds. These holds have an expiration date of 3-5 business days, depending on the banks policy.  

I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A CONFIRMATION EMAIL.

You should always receive a confirmation email once your order has completed, followed by a dispatch email once the order has left us. If you do not receive these emails, check your account information to ensure the correct email address has been inputted, also check your junk/spam filter to ensure it hasn't been picked up by either.

WHY IS MY ORDER NOT GOING THROUGH?

Our system is character sensitive and an order will decline if there are any letters or symbols in the incorrect boxes for your address details. E.g. A ‘+’ symbol cannot be added in front of your phone number, and if you are leaving a line blank please do not fill it with symbols such as / or --.

Please ensure that your billing address matches the address that your card is registered to. You can change the delivery address at the checkout.

DELIVERY

HOW LONG WILL MY ORDER TAKE?

Stock Products - 3 to 5 days

Customised Stock Products - 3 to 4 weeks

Custom products - 6 to 8 weeks 


These lead times start when the order approval has been received by your account manager. We will always aim to deliver ahead of the estimated time where we can. For all custom products we recommend speaking to one of our sales representatives ahead of your order so that we can provide an up to date expected time frame. 


Please note that sometimes there can be unforeseeable factors out of our control that can affect this timeframe. These include;


Factory Holidays
