1. Opening an order? Minimum orders? Case discounts?
Our minimum opening order is 1. Our minimum reorder is 1. We’re in business for designers and workrooms. Usually you’re ordering on a “per client/specific project” basis. The best use of your own space is probably not for storage of plump and poufy pillows and duvets. However, if you need a multiple number of the same SKU, the 10% case lot discount will apply as follows:

• pillow sizes up to and including 18” x 18” 12 = case
all other pillow sizes, bolsters, cubes, pyramids, balls & boxed

• squares 8 = case

• sleeping pillows, down blankets, duvets, down/featherbeds 6 = case

Case discounts do not apply to the 95/5 top ten collection

2. Terms?
Your first order will be credit card, C.O.D. or Pro Forma. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Pro forma orders will cancel if your check is not received within 14 days of our faxed invoice/confirmation. After the first order, your account will become Net 10 days. A reminder notice will be sent for any invoice over 30 days past due. If this doesn’t produce payment, friendly - but persistent - calls from one of us will follow. We will keep your credit card information on file and, at your request, automatically charge every order. Or, you can choose between credit card or net 10 invoicing at the time you place each order. All invoices will be faxed within 24 hours of the time your order was shipped. The credit card slip will be displayed on the faxed invoice..

3. Shipping and Handling?
Our handling charge is $6.50 per box plus the actual UPS shipping charge. Parish Green, our warehouse manager, is very conscientious about packing our products as tight as possible, to keep your shipping charges as low as possible. American Duvet has no minimums, so when you need that one 11" x 11" pillow to finish the job, we’re very happy to ship it right out to you.

4. Acknowledgement of your order?
Within 24 hours of receipt of your order we will fax you an acknowledgment that your order has been shipped or inform you of items on back order. If you have faxed your order to us and we have not corresponded with you within 24 hours, please call us to make sure your order is not still surfing the airwaves somewhere between your fax machine and ours.

If we ship you the wrong product, we’ll immediately ship the correct one and issue a call tag for the item you didn’t order. Our entire line consists of quality, first run products. We guarantee it.

6. Returns — your mistake?
Our clients are on the honor system. We'll take any of our products back - with no restocking charge - as long as it comes back to us looking just the same as when we sent it to you; law tag intact, no evidence of use, in the original opened or unopened plastic bag. If you ordered a light weight duvet and your client expected “"mounds of down", or you ordered the wrong size pillow insert, just let us know what you're returning. As soon as we receive the product, you’will be issued a credit for the full amount of the product's cost.

7. What is fill power?
Fill power refers to the amount of "pouf" there is in each cluster of down. The higher the fill power, the more loft the finished product will have. Also, the higher the fill power, the less ounces it takes to achieve the desired sleeping warmth. Only down is rated for fill power, feathers are not rated in this manner.

8. How can down & Feathers be Hypoallergenic?
The down and feathers have been washed twelve times and then electronically cleaned to remove all of the dust and dander. We guarantee the cleanliness of all of our products. For the client who is still skeptical, we have a two page explanation of the process which we will be glad to fax to you. It is in a format that can be shared with your client and contains no company names.

9. Tips that you might find helpful before ordering
The finished size of the duvet cover should be at least 1” smaller in width and length, than the duvet. You can even put our oversized duvet into a standard sized duvet cover. It will just add additional pouf.

The finished size of the pillow cover should be smaller than the pillow insert. For the smaller pillow insert sizes - up to 16” x 16” - the finished cover should be fabricated up to 1/2” smaller than the insert. For medium sized inserts - up to 22” x 22” - the finished cover should be 1” smaller than the insert. For larger sized inserts, fabricate the covers 1 1/2” to 2 1/2” smaller than the insert.

Call us with any questions. When a real, live person answers your call to American Duvet. We've gleaned a lot of information from designers and workrooms over the years which could address your specific situation or result in an entirely new solution to a design problem.
