FAQ's & Help                






How do I place an order? 

Fill out our online order forms, located below the designs on our pages. For example, if you would like to our a wedding-themed cigar band, you would go to : http://www.necessitees.com/cigarwedding.htm   Scroll below the designs to the order form.

Just look for the order forms and "Add to Cart" buttons on any of the design pages below the samples shown on the page.

 

 

If there is a sale, how do I use the coupon code? 

We offer sales periodically and will have the 'coupon code' you need as well as the sale information on our home page and "Current Specials" page. Click here for how to use the code.

Please remember to use the discount code in the shopping cart. Sorry but we cannot issue refunds for the amount of the discount once the checkout is finalized.  Coupon codes cannot be combined. Only one code per transaction please.

 

 

Can I get a proof of my order before you print it? 

Yes, certainly! We do not send proofs routinely unless you request them but it's never a problem for us to email you one. Simply email us after placing your order and ask us to "send a proof before printing". Be sure to include your order number.

If you have requested a proof or have ordered wedding invitations, "Save the Date" cards or any item where we do send proofs before printing, we will wait 72 hours to hear back with your approval. After that time, we will print and ship your order as reflected in the sample we've emailed you.

Please make sure your email is set to accept mail from necessitees.com so that it does not go into your junk or spam folder.

 

 

What forms of payment do you accept? 

You may pay using any major credit card  thru our online completely secure shopping cart or by check or money order.

If paying by check or money order ~ You will be given a choice to pay by credit card, check or money order when you are checking out. Simply select "Check/Money Order" and print out the "Final Receipt" to mail in with your order. Click here for step-by-step instructions with pictures.

Mail to:  NecessiTees, P. O. Box 452484, Garland, TX 75045-2484

 

 

Can I place an order over the phone?  

Sorry but we cannot accept phone orders. You must use our online order form to pay either by credit card or to mail in your check or money order.

 

 

I don't have a PayPal account or don't want to use my PayPal account. What do I do?

We use PayPal's shopping cart services to process all credit card transactions but you do not need to sign up for PayPal or even to use an existing PayPal account in order to make a purchase.

In the final step of the checkout, you will be taking to a PayPal page. You will be prompted to login to PayPal - or you can elect not to. Simply look for and click on "Pay with a debit or credit card". You'll be prompted to enter your payment & shipping information. You never need to sign up for a PayPal account. Click here for step-by-step instructions with pictures.

Please note that you will receive a confirmation email from PayPal once you've completed your order whether you paid by credit card or by using your existing PayPal account. This is normal and simply shows that your transaction has been processed correctly and your credit card (or PayPal account, if you elected that method) has been billed.

 

 

I paid with my credit card but got an email saying I paid by PayPal. What happened? 

Don 't worry. This is normal and you did everything correctly. PayPal merely processed your transaction, since we use their services for our shopping cart. They do send a confirmation email once your order has been completed, simply indicating your credit card was billed.

 

 

How long will it take to get my order?

Please refer to our "Shipping Info" page for all shipping times.


How do you ship?

We ship by USPS Priority Mail (a 2-3 day business delivery time) and by USPS Express Mail (a 1-2 day business delivery time) within the US. You select your shipping method in our shopping cart when you are checking out.

We also ship to Canada, by USPS Global Priority Mail ( generally a 4-6 business day delivery time). Select "Priority" as the shipping option and then "Calculate my shipping". You'll be able to indicate Canada as the shipping destination and also figure your shipping total.

    

 

 

What are your shipping charges?

Our shipping charges are based on actual USPS Priority, USPS Express Mail, or USPS Global Priority Mail rates. We add on no extra fees. You can calculate your charges in our shopping cart to see them before checking out.

 

Do you ship outside the US?

Yes, we also ship to Canada.

 

 

Can I send you my own artwork, logo or graphics to use on your products? How do I do that?  

Yes! We can use your artwork, logo, graphics or your own text on most any item. We can also design something for you if you don't see any samples that are right for your event.

Simply click the Custom Design Ordering link at the top of this or any of our pages and fill out our Custom Order Request Form.

We will design a sample and email it back to you along with instructions for ordering.

For our cigar bands, if you design your own and send us your artwork, some things to keep in mind:
A design that wraps around the entire band is not ideal. We must allow for an overlap once wrapped around the cigar and it's easy for your design to be covered up! try to keep the main artwork centered to fit an approximate area of 3/4" tall by 1" wide.

Do you sell your candy wrappers with or without the candy?

Both! We sell our personalized wrappers already assembled, using some of your favorite candy bars- Hershey's Milk Chocolate, Hershey's with Almonds, Hershey's Miniatures, & Hershey's Nuggets. If you would like to save and wrap your own candies, we sell our wrappers by themselves with foil sheets included for making them look professionally done!

 

 

What are your wrappers like and what kind of paper are they printed on? 

Our candy bar wrappers are printed on a white, glossy, 48 lb. stock. (This is heavier or thicker than a text weight paper.) Wrappers come pre-cut along with a glue stick and instructions for easy assembling.

 

 

How do I apply your candy wrappers?

Easy-to-follow instructions with pictures are included along with your order, as well as glue sticks.

About shipment of candy bars in warmer months

We highly recommend having your candy bars shipped in an insulated mailing carton if the weather is warm (above 75 degrees). These are available for purchase for $8.95 each and are directly below the candy bars & wrappers on our order forms.

We ship by your choice of USPS Priority Mail (2-3 day business delivery) or USPS Express Mail (1-2 business day delivery). Please make sure that someone will be at your location to accept your package when it arrives. We cannot be responsible for chocolates that arrive melted in shipping.

We do not have any control over the handling of your order once it is handed over the carrier.
USPS Express Mail delivery is recommended for shipping chocolate from May through October. However, it is quite a bit more expensive than Priority Mail. U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail generally only takes 2-3 days to arrive and is considered a reasonably safe mode of shipping when used with a cooler and ice pack combination for most locations.

We ship our wrapped candy bars on ice (we use Ice Wrap™) in an insulated cooler mailing carton. They are safe on ice in our cooler mailing carton for up to 3 days from the time they are shipped.  Once your candy bars arrive, they should be removed from the shipping box right away and placed in a cool, dry area until you are ready to use them.

We ship our wrapped chocolate candies on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday only to help insure that your order will not sit in a post office warehouse over a weekend.

If in doubt, please contact us and we would be more than happy to discuss shipping your order before it is placed.

 

Do you sell your cigar bands with or without the cigars?

We offer our cigar bands for you to apply to your own cigars and we also sell bubble gum cigars with our personalized bands. We do not sell cigars by themselves.

 

 

What are your cigar bands like and what kind of paper are they printed on?

Our bands are printed on a white, 48 lb glossy stock. Dimensions are 1" tall by a length dependent upon the size of the cigar you will be using. See our Ring Gauge Chart for assistance in determining the size of your cigar bands.

We sell our bands WITH or WITHOUT adhesive backing.

Order bands WITH adhesive backing if your cigars are wrapped in cellophane or a paper wrapper. Order bands WITHOUR adhesive backing if your cigars have no cellophane or paper wrapper. A glue stick will be provided with your order for applying the bands.
