Virtual Store / Shopping Cart
- Start Up & Design - $2500.00
- Hosting Fee - $40.00 per month
Includes your URL / domain name, creating the merchandise website, upload of all product images and descriptions and virtual shopping cart setup. If a more intricate or graphic customized “skin” is required, we will provide a set up quote for you.
Product Photography
- $25.00 per item
This accounts for professional photography of each item, including multiple photos if necessary. Also includes the clean up and resizing. If you already have clean, low resolution, and uniformly sized photographs that you can provide directly in .jpg format at a 600 x 600 resolution size, this service would not be necessary. Please keep in mind that product photography and imagery are a very important tool in website sales, since customers must base their buying decision primarily on an image and a description, rather than being able to see the product in person. If you provide images that must be cleaned up or uniformly resized by our art department, a $75.00 per hour art charge would apply.
Inventory Storage
- Product Purchased From Classic Alterations - $0.60 / cubic foot per month
- Product Not Purchased From Classic Alterations - $1.00 / cubic foot per month
This covers proper inventory packaging and storage of your products. The cubic foot measurement is attained based on the unit size after all products are properly packaged and ready for pick-and-pull shipment in our distribution facility. If your product(s) were to fill one side of our standard, full size shelving units, this fee would come out to (estimated) approximately $50.00 per month at $0.65 / cubic foot and about $85.00 per month at $1.00 / cubic foot. We would happy to show you how much space this entails when you visit our facility.
Toll Free Number
- Set Up - $100.00
- Monthly Fee - $30.00
Create a unique toll free number for your store, allowing customers to call us directly. We’ll answer the phone with your store name, so they’ll be sure they’ve reached the right place. This is optional. If you’d like, we can simply use the Classic Alterations telephone number as the primary contact for your store.
Credit Card Virtual Terminal
- Set Up - $100.00
- Monthly Fee - $30.00
This includes use of a virtual credit card terminal for your business that allows customers to make immediate payments online in the store with their credit card. To operate a successful online store, it is absolutely necessary to offer online credit card payment options. However, you are not required to set up your credit card terminal through our service. You may instead choose to create a personal virtual terminal account on your own. Please Note: Classic Alterations must pay a percentage of all sales to the credit card processors for each transaction made through the credit card terminal, ranging from 1.5% to 3.0%, depending on the qualified level of the transaction. It is therefore necessary for us to pass that cost back to you. We do this at a flat rate of 2.0% of all credit card transacted sales
Pick & Pack Fulfillment
- Order Release Fee - $5.00 per order
- Pick Fee – Orders under $100.00 – No Charge
- Pick Fee – Orders exceeding $100.00 in total value – 2.5% of the total order valu
Each order picked and shipped will incur a $5.00 order release fee, regardless of the total value. Orders exceeding $100.00 in total value will incur an additional 2.5% pick fee. If products or items that require unusual or oversized packaging are involved in the program, we will establish a customized pick & pack rate for those shipments.
Shipping Costs
We ship via UPS. This is because of UPS’s real time tracking, multiple delivery options, and guaranteed delivery on all expedited orders. The shipping cost for each order is based on three factors: the weight of the order, the zip code to which it is shipping, and the method of delivery selected by the customer. All shipping costs paid by the customer will go directly to Classic Alterations & Monograms to cover the cost of the shipment. If your store’s credit card terminal is set up to deposit customer payments directly into your bank, you will be responsible for paying all collected shipping fees back to Classic Alterations & Monograms on a predetermined schedule. Or, if you already have a UPS account established, Classic Alterations & Monograms can ship all orders via 3rd Party on your account. Please note – orders shipped on your 3rd party account will incur an additional $1.00 per order fee, to help cover the cost of shipping supplies.
Program Evaluation
For a fulfillment program to be successful, the overall volume of customer orders and revenue need to support the amount of inventory held in our facility. Classic Alterations & Monograms, Inc will evaluate each fulfillment program on a quarterly basis to determine the health and/or growth of the program. Classic Alterations & Monograms, Inc reserves the right to terminate any fulfillment program with a 60-day notice if the program is not successful. In addition, Classic Alterations & Monograms, Inc reserves the right to negotiate new inventory storage and pick & pack fees on a case-to-case basis, depending on changes in overall order volume, storage needs, and unique packaging costs as they apply to your program.
