Why Hank

School merch: your questions

Anything else? Ask Hank in the chat.

Can we order merch for a school event or fundraiser?

Yes. Pick School or Event in the chat, tell Hank what it's for and when you need it, and your proposal will set out the options, pricing and timing. Hank is built for organisations ordering for their people, so school orders are exactly what it's for.

How does the school pay?

On an invoice by bank transfer, so your business manager can process it the proper way. There's no online checkout and no card details to enter.

How long does it take?

About two weeks is normal. In a hurry? Reach out, because almost anything can be done and we've turned jobs around in 24 hours before. Tell Hank your date in the chat and your proposal will confirm the timing before you approve anything.

Do you deliver outside Melbourne?

Yes. We're based in Victoria and deliver Australia-wide. Everything is printed in Melbourne and delivered to your door, wherever you are.

Will we see the design before it’s printed?

Yes. After you approve the proposal, you sign off an art approval proof showing your design on the product. Nothing is printed until you do.
