Shipping Information

Many products The Apparel Source sells drop ship from different locations around the country. Items marked "In Stock" are in stock in our San Leandro warehouse. "Drop Ship" means that the item ships directly from the manufacturer. The majority of brands drop ship from Los Angeles via GLS which ships throughout California, Nevada and Arizona next day with morning delivery. For this GLS by Noon service, we charge a flat rate of $12 per box within California, or $15 per box to other Western states. UPS Ground is billed based on weight.

Please Note: Every manufacturer drop-ships from a different warehouse in a different package. This website estimates shipping but does not currently calculate for different origin warehouses accurately. If the shipping charges will vary significantly from what the website calculated, we will contact you. The best way to save on shipping is to order everything from one manufacturer or all items in stock in our warehouse. If you are ordering from one warehouse or full boxes from different warehouses, shipping may be less than estimated and it will be adjusted on your final invoice.

Our goal is to help our customers minimize shipping costs and to make the process as transparent as possible. If adjustments can be made to reduce your shipping costs, we will make every effort to do so.
