Question: I don't see a place in the lettering/numbering of my "kit" to give details about what "kit" I want done?

Unfortunately in the product field for the numbering/lettering their currently is not a "field" to place comments thus leading to confusion on your end. It was designed like this because of the vast array of "lettering kits" we do for various teams- Certain teams for example in one single season alone have used 4+ different fonts/numbering styles thus why an e-mail/phone call is necessary to get exactly what you want accomplished, and ultimately are very satisfied with the outcome of your kit/jersey- This is how it is also shown on the "order" page for the kit(s) as well to send us an e-mail after payment is sent in regards to this.

Question: How much and who do you use for shipping?

Answer: VMH.com ships US Priority Mail or UPS with delivery confirmation within the US.  It normally takes about 3-4 business days. Canadian shipments are sent by US Global Priority Mail. These usually take 5-12 days to arrive. We are not responsible for any duty fees. Any orders over $100 will be sent with signature confirmation.

Question: What payment methods do you except?

Answer: We accept secure payments via Paypal over the phone or via the storefront, Paypal is "The most secure and fastest way to pay via the internet" Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express, Money orders, checks are also accepted with (10 days to clear before shipment is sent).

Question: What is a jersey kit?

Answer: A Jersey Kit is all the numbers and letters necessary to make your jersey look like the pros. Kits contain sleeve number(s), number(s) for the back, letters on a nameplate or loose, and a Captain "C" or Alternate "A" if wanted.  2 color and 3 color letters and numbers are 2 or 3 layers of tackle-twill twill layered on each other. They are cut with an ioline cutter, heat-pressed together and are ready for sewing to your favorite jersey. We only use the best twill in the industry.  All kits are made to team specifications for ANY team, from ANY league. Check our jersey numbering fonts page for a sample of just a few of the fonts that are available to use.

Question: How long after I order can I except my jersey, kit, etc.?

Answer: Normally we ship out within 2-3 business days for in-stock jerseys, kits, etc. Custom orders, and jerseys not in stock generally take 4-6 weeks to receive due to the extreme perfectionism that most throwback jerseys take. If your product is not in stock you will receive an e-mail from us letting you know the estimated "completion date, and shipment of your custom product" .

Question: Can you sew these kits to my jersey?

Answer: Yes. You would have to send your jersey to us and we would sew the kit to your jersey and ship it back to you. Example: Send us your jersey and you bought a kit from us. Your shipping charges would only be for the jersey shipping.

Question: Can you do my own name, or other name on a jersey or kit?

Answer: Yes ANY name, and ANY number, from ANY team can be made.
