Why don't I see the product I want to purchase as an option?

Bear in mind that you must first create a product you want to produce with Through6. To do so, you will need to select, design and publish that product via the Create section of your Through6 Portal. You can read more about creating products here. 

Otherwise, make sure you have the appropriate Brand account selected from Step1 above, as each profile has its own unique set of created products. 

Why does the shipping charge appear so high?

In most cases a shipping estimate will be fairly accurate, unless your order is large in quantity. As we are unable to ascertain the size and number of packages for large orders up front, our carrier provider assumes a single massive freight package and estimates accordingly. However, we will always break large orders into more manageable parcels for the most economic shipping costs. 

If this is your first bulk order with us, you're welcome to reach out to [email protected] for a more accurate estimate after placing your order. 

Why is my order sitting in Unprocessed for so long?

There are a number of reasons this may be the case but the most common reasons are account suspension status due to delinquent payment, non-payment and/or custom notes that may delay the start of the order to ensure production can view and potentially accommodate. 

If you are affected by account suspension status, you will see an alert upon login and simply need to pay any outstanding invoices to return your account to good standing, in which orders will resume production immediately. 

If you are a prepay account, invoice batches are generated multiple times a day and you may just need to wait longer. However, there could also be an issue with your order or products, in which someone from our support team will likely reach out to you with details. You can read more about our payment system here.
