FAQ
Where are you located?
We are physically located in Annapolis, MD but are virtual through our online presence and can ship anywhere in the US and Canada.
Where do you get your products?
Most of our products are designed by us in-house and all of our products are made for us by U.S. manufacturers and printers.
Who are your customers?
Lots of different types! As a promotional item, businesses and organizations love our health and safety imprint products such as our Safety Magnets® as a unique give-away for customers or employees to show them that they care about their well-being. Hospitals, real estate and insurance agents, caregivers, urgent care centers, fire departments, schools, and others can add their logo and use them as an alternative to traditional promotional items like calendars, sports magnets, etc. that just get thrown out every year!
Teachers, schools, counselors, school nurses, and educators use our clear, high quality laminated classroom posters and charts on topics such as math and science, language arts, diversity and inspiration, child health and welfare as a perfect classroom decoration for their walls and bulletin boards.
Parents, Daycare centers, church and religious groups, emergency works, communities and governments choose our ZoCo Kids Coloring and Activity Books that provide fun educational stories and illustrations on over 130 different topics ranging from health and medical, religion, crime prevention, safety, environmental issues, and many others to promote positive instructional messages to children of all ages.
Caregivers, senior centers, assisted living, memory care facilities, and charities use our ZoCo Large Print Puzzle and Activity books with sudoku, word search, coloring pages, and crosswords as a great way to keep minds sharp and engaged.
2. Customizing Products:
Do you allow changes to existing products? Can I add my logo or imprint to your products or make other changes?
Yes!
Do you want your own custom product or want to make changes to an existing ZoCo product (e.g., adding a logo, using our artwork on a different product)?
Since we own and design all of our products, we can generally make changes as needed to suit your needs. Below are some general guidelines on what we are able to do. Sometimes we can do it for free and sometimes we can do it for a reasonable charge. Please contact us with any questions.
* Adding personalization to our products usually requires a minimum quantity purchased. Most of our magnets have a 100 quantity minimum while other products, such as coloring books, have a 250 minimum. If you have any questions regarding minimum quantities, contact us.
** If you want to go above and beyond adding your logo, picture, or contact information (e.g. having a poster on vinyl or framed), there may be a setup fee depending on how much redesign or new design is needed. If you are ordering high quantities, we may be able to waive the fee. Please contact us so we can give you a customized quote.
3. Bulk Ordering
Do you offer quantity or volume discounts?
Yes – on most of our products we offer quantity discounts. You can see the product categories we offer such discounts under our Business and Promotional Products. Simply go to the product of interest, and in the pricing table below each product, you will see the volume discounted pricing. Additionally, on many of our bulk products, we cancustomize the productby adding your logo or imprint. If you have any questions,contact usand we will be happy to help.
Do you offer wholesale pricing?
We do have a few distributors and wholesalers that carry our product. If you are interested in learning more, please contact us so we can discuss in more detail.
4. Ordering, Shipping, and Return Process
How long will it take to get my order?
If you do not need any customization, then we will ship normally within 1-2 business days of receiving your order from our warehouses in Ohio and Pennsylvania. If you do need customization, you should allow about 1-2 weeks from the point of order to arrival of your items. Here is the normal timeline:
- From point of receipt of order to first proof: 1-2 business days
- Your review and approval of proof: Normally, most customers approve their proof in about 2 business days. However, if you are requesting complicated changes it could be a week of back and forth before we get your approval.
- From proof approval to ship: normally about 8 business days
- From shipping to arrival at your location: 2-4 business days.
I want you to customize with my logo, picture, or add my contact information. Where do I send it and what resolution does it need to be?
All logos and pictures need to be at least 300 dpi (print quality) before we can use them. When you submit your order, you will have an opportunity to upload these files, contact information or any comments associated with your customization. We will not go to print until you approve of the proof. If you are in doubt as to the quality of your logo or picture, email it to us and we will let you know if the quality is high enough.
What if I need my products sooner?
Most of the time, we can accommodate your need date. Please let us know when you need your order and we can let you know if we can meet it. (You'll be asked for a "Need Date" during the ordering process. Once we commit to a delivery date, we have a very good track record of meeting it!)
How do I know what my finished product will look like? Do you supply proofs or samples?
For all customized product, we will develop a custom proof or mock-up for you and we will not go to print until you approve of the mock-up. We will allow you to make up to 3 changes to your proof. After more than three changes, we may have to charge a nominal amount for extra design time (by far the majority of the time, this is not needed and your proof is included in your quote).
My organization is tax exempt. How can I remove the tax from my order?
If your organization is tax exempt, you will need to create an account in advanceof placing your order. While creating your account, ensure you check the "I have a tax exemption" checkbox and provide your tax exemption details. You can then place your order online using this customer account and will not be charged tax.
I need a copy of your W-9 and/or some other information about your company. How do I make a request for that information?
We're happy to provide you with any needed information such as our W-9, vendor applications,etc. Simply contact us with your request and we will respond with the needed information, usually within 24 hours.
What payment methods do you accept? Do you accept purchase orders?
We accept all major credit cards, PayPal, Amazon Pay, Shopify Pay, Google Pay, Facebook Pay, and Purchase Orders.
Paying with a Purchase Order (PO) is a contractual commitment that you will pay us within 30 days. We can only accept POs from organizations or companies that have solid credit and ability to pay. If paying by PO, you can still complete your order online (check "Purchase Order" for Payment), then send us your PO afterwards. (You will receive your order confirmation and can just reply to that email with your PO.). Alternatively, you can send us your PO in advance to information@zocoproducts.com. We will not be able to start or fulfill your order until we have received the PO.
When is payment due? Do you require a deposit?
For all non-custom products, we require payment in full (can include a PO) at the time of order. (Please let us know if there are some circumstances that prohibit you from being able to do this.)
For custom products, we require 50% payment (or a purchase order) before we can get started on your proof and then the remaining balance is due once you have approved your proof. Again, we are willing to work with you on this policy if you have extenuating circumstances.
What is your return policy?
We do everything we can to ensure that you will be happy with your order including supplying proofs, samples, testimonials, etc. As such, for custom products, we are unable to refund your order unless there is some manufacturing defect or a clear mistake on our end.
For non-customized product, we offer a 100% return or exchange policy. If you are not pleased with your order, you may return it to us for a refund, exchange, or replacement when you notify us within 7 days of delivery. The refund amount does not include shipping and handling charges.
