At Forrest Glover Design, we take pride in offering personalized solutions for custom window treatments that allow our clients to bring their unique touch to their interior spaces. Through the incorporation of Customer's Own Material (COM), we ensure that your chosen fabric or trim perfectly complements your design vision. This article will provide an in-depth look at the process, including the small premium charged between $45-125 for COM projects. This premium helps cover the importation costs in Mexico and shipping expenses from Los Angeles to Guadalajara. Additionally, we will discuss the timeline from the arrival of your selected fabric in LA to its final destination at our factory in GDL, and the importance of submitting a detailed fabric and/or trim invoices before the shipment reaches our freight forwarder in Los Angeles to prevent any shipping delays.
Step 1: Selecting Your Preferred Fabric
To get started with your custom window treatment project, simply select your desired fabric or trim to incorporate into the drapery design. Whether it's a unique fabric with a captivating pattern or an elegant trim to enhance the final look, our team is here to guide you through the selection process. We are also happy to offer guidance about which types of fabrics or trims are suitable for your particular project.
Step 2: Understanding the COM Premium
We believe in providing transparent pricing to our valued customers. For COM projects, we charge a small premium between $45-125, which covers the importation costs in Mexico and the shipping expenses from our Los Angeles facility to Guadalajara. This ensures a hassle-free process for our clients and guarantees that your chosen material arrives at its destination safely and on time.
Step 3: Shipping Your Material to Los Angeles
Once you have chosen your fabric or trim, have the fabric vendor ship it to our dedicated facility in Los Angeles. We recommend using our trusted freight forwarder to guarantee secure and efficient transportation. Truth be told, if you ship directly to our factory, it will likely never be released from customs in Mexico. From the moment your shipment is received in LA, it takes approximately 1 - 1.5 weeks to reach our factory in Guadalajara. All COM must be labeled with our account number (provided at time of purchase) to be processed properly and shipped to the correct location.
Step 4: Submitting the Detailed Fabric and/or Trim Invoice
To avoid any shipping delays from Los Angeles to Guadalajara, we request that you submit a detailed fabric and/or trim invoice to our team before the shipment arrives in LA. This invoice should include essential information such as the material's description, quantity, value, and any other relevant details. By providing this information upfront, we can ensure a smooth customs clearance process and expedite the transfer of your COM material to our manufacturing facility in GDL.
Step 5: Expert Fabrication in Guadalajara
Upon arrival at our factory in Guadalajara, our skilled craftsmen will commence the fabrication process with meticulous attention to detail. Using state-of-the-art equipment and adhering to your design specifications, we will transform the chosen material into exquisite, made-to-measure window treatments.
At Forrest Glover Design, we are committed to delivering the highest level of craftsmanship and personalized service to our clients. By incorporating Customer's Own Material (COM) into our custom window treatment projects, we empower you to infuse your unique style into every aspect of your home or design project. With a small premium covering importation and shipping costs, your material will be safely transported from Los Angeles to Guadalajara. By submitting a detailed fabric and/or trim invoice before the shipment arrives in LA, you can further ensure a smooth and timely process. Trust us with your custom window treatment needs, and experience the seamless integration of your personal touch in every project shipped to your doorstep in Guadalajara.
