Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
What happens if my order is below the minimum?
Orders below the new minimum will ship with freight charges added to your invoice.
Does this change affect expedited or special shipments?
Yes, expedited or special shipments will continue to incur additional charges regardless of order size.
Can I combine or mix orders to meet the minimum?

When mixed orders are sent, the highest category pre-paid minimum will be used. For example, you can order $300 of Hot Max accessories and $205 in ProTie products ($505 total) to make the $500 minimum pre-paid for the Hot Max category.
How are special or show prices applied?
The pre-paid minimums must be met after the special discounts have been applied.
Will there be any other changes to shipping policies?
No, all other shipping terms remain the same.
