AutoPay is available to business customers as a convenient way to automate invoice payments.

You can enroll or unenroll in AutoPay at any time from the Payment Methods or Pay Invoices pages in your account.
Can I schedule a payment for a future date?
Yes. Business customers can schedule payments using saved payment methods for added flexibility and control.
Scheduled payments allow you to choose a future date, up to 60 days in advance, to pay outstanding invoices. You'll receive confirmation emails when a payment is scheduled, modified, canceled, or processed.

Does S&S Activewear offer free freight?
Yes. We offer business customers free ground shipping on orders over $200 shipped within the continental United States. Ninja Transfers count toward the $200 minimum. Please note that this offer excludes Oakley 34L Kitchen Sink Backpack (92060AODM).
Do you have Flex Express?
Yes. Flex Express (FedEx Hold at Location) is available for business customers.
This allows you to ship your order to a FedEx pickup location in the Continental United States instead of your office or distribution center for a flat rate of $9.99 on qualifying shipments.
How fast will my S&S order get to me?
If you place your order by the distribution center cutoff time displayed on the website product page, we'll ship your order that same day. You can also learn your shipping time by entering your zip code on our Shipping Coverage page.
There's a freight fee of $7.50 on my order, what is this for?
The flat rate freight fee of $7.50 applies exclusively to orders that qualify for free freight (over $200), but where a portion of the order contains non-stock drop ship skus with a value of less than $100. This will be measured per shipment, per vendor, per distribution center. Here are four scenario's that help explain the logic. Learn more.
Can I make changes or cancel my order?
Yes, but don't delay! After you've placed a web order, you have a 10-minute window to either cancel or edit your order. Navigate to "Resources" and "My Account," and click on "Order History." There, you can select the option to cancel your order. If you choose to edit an order, you would have to cancel it first and have the option to place the items back into your cart. Then, you can edit quantities or add more items before placing your order again. Watch this quick how-to video for a demo. You can also access the page to cancel/edit your order through the order confirmation email you've been sent once placing the order. At the bottom of the email, you'll find info on how much time you have left to make any changes.
Why am I getting an "AVS Mismatch Error" and how to I fix it?
An AVS (Address Verification System) mismatch occurs when the billing information entered into the checkout form does not match the information on file with the bank for that card. Although your bank has confirmed that you have sufficient funds, our system has chosen not to take them. This is done to prevent fraudulent orders.
When you submit an order, the bank places an authorization hold for the charge amount on your account. In the event of an AVS mismatch, this authorization will NOT be captured by our system, and the PENDING charge you see on your online banking will disappear in 1-3 days.

How do I fix it?
To avoid AVS mismatch errors at checkout, please make sure to enter your billing information exactly as it appears on your bank billing statement.
I'm sure it's correct, what now?
If you're 100% sure the billing information is correct, your bank may be declining the transaction because it's being routed through one of our international merchant processors. You'll have to call your bank and let them know this is a legitimate transaction before trying again.
Backorders (Inventory Reservation)
Inventory reservation (backorders) is available through our Customer Service team to help ensure incoming stock availability for business customers.
Business customers can contact our team via chat, phone, or email to reserve out-of-stock items. When inventory becomes available, you'll receive a notification to complete your order. Learn more here.
Sales Tax and Resale/Exemption Certificates
S&S customers are considered taxable until they provide a properly completed resale/exemption certificate and/or state sales tax license as required by state law. S&S customers can upload resale/exemption certificates online directly from their S&S web account by clicking "Manage Resale Certificates." Need help? Reach us at [email protected].
I am shipping to a state other than where I am registered. Will I be charged sales tax? How can I be made exempt?
Customers who are shipping orders to states other than where they are registered may be subject to sales tax being charged on their orders. Please send a request to review if you can be made exempt for your ship to state to [email protected].
Returns & Restock
Restock fees will be waived for returns under $1,000 that are processed through our online portal. A label will be provided to return your goods to the nearest location that stocks those goods. Orders $1,000 or more will be subject to a 20% restocking fee and customers are responsible for return shipping costs.
Where can I find more information about a product's Country of Origin?
"Country of Origin" refers to the country where a product is manufactured. To view this information, visit any product page and click on the "Country of Origin" link located beneath the product photos. Please note: Country of Origin information is subject to change at any time.
Where can I find more information on Responsible Sourcing?
The Responsible Sourcing page is your single destination for S&S Activewear product-compliance and ethical-sourcing information. Here you'll find our Fair Labor Association details, Codes of Conduct, CPSIA resources (including required documentation), California Proposition 65 guidance, CTPAT, and Whistleblowing information—all in one place.
Is S&S Activewear attending any upcoming Tradeshows?
We are! Take a look at our Tradeshows page for our upcoming schedule.
What is the Digital Packing Slip and how does it work?
The Digital Packing Slip is a QR-enabled feature included on every S&S shipping box. Simply scan the QR code with your mobile device to instantly view the box-level packing slip, showing exactly what is inside that specific carton — no app required.

A paper packing slip will still be included inside each shipment; the digital version is an added convenience for faster visibility and easier inventory check-in.

You can also use the tool to submit packaging feedback (such as box quality or carrier-related damage). However, submitting feedback does not create a formal claim. For product damage, shortages, shipment issues, or any other order-related claims, please continue to use the standard claims process.

For additional questions, please contact your S&S Sales Representative or Customer Service at (800) 523-2155.
