Each individual product line will have an estimated lead time. They differ widely and should be considered as part of your project planning process.

Tight deadlines for deliveries are not advised.
We strongly urge our customers to order samples of products they wish to order. We have made every effort to represent our products realistically on-line, however all computer screens and printers are not identical and thus the product is best evaluated in person.
All orders must be inspected and accepted before our delivery driver leaves the destination site. A signature verifying that the order is complete and undamaged is required for all orders, and without it our warranties are voided.

Once reported, Tango will act immediately to remedy problems. Products damaged in transit or defective will be replaced. Products materially inconsistent with samples as to color, size, thickness will also be replaced provided the sample was ordered within the previous 30 days.
Shipping costs will vary depending on the product(s) that have been purchased. We will calculate all shipping costs for you. Shipping costs are determined by the weight, volume, origin and destination of the product.
Upon request, Tango will expedite sample orders at an additional cost, but for larger orders, freight shippers do not expedite.
