Key Shipping Information for a Buyer
1. Long Production Time (The Major Factor)
Since varsity jackets are highly customized with specific patches, lettering, and sizing, they are almost always made to order. The manufacturing time is the longest part of the process, not the shipping itself. 
  • Timeline: Expect a production time of 5 to 10 weeks. Simple, in-stock plain jackets may ship faster, but a fully customized West Ranch jacket with specific patches will take several weeks to produce.
  • Planning Ahead: Do not wait until the season begins to order; plan several months in advance of when the jacket is needed. 
2. Delivery Method (School vs. Home)
How the jacket reaches you depends on the vendor and ordering method. 
  • Delivery to School: Many school-sponsored programs or vendors (like Jostens or Balfour representatives who take orders on campus) ship all completed jackets in bulk directly to the school. A coach, sponsor, or school administrator is typically responsible for distributing them to students.
  • Direct to Home Shipping: If you order the jacket through an independent online vendor, you will generally pay a shipping fee for the jacket to be sent directly to your home address. 
3. Shipping Costs
Shipping costs and options are determined by the specific vendor.
  • Standard Ground Shipping: Typical ground shipping within the continental US might cost around $15 for the first jacket. This usually takes an additional 3-5 business days after production is complete.
  • Expedited Options: Most vendors offer expedited shipping (e.g., 2-day or overnight air) for an extra cost, but this only speeds up the transit time, not the manufacturing time. 
4. Tracking and Communication
Most reputable vendors will provide a tracking number via email once the order has been processed for shipping, allowing you to monitor its transit progress. The vendor should also provide updates throughout the production process. 
Summary for the Buyer: The key thing to know about shipping is that you must be patient due to the custom production time. Verify whether you will need to pick up the jacket at West Ranch High School or if it will be delivered to your home address when placing your order.
