Hi Kyra,

For the logo, attached logo is what the suppler used for reference and this logo is on the original fly pack. As you can see the way “a†present is the same as these samples. If revising the logo is needed, the supplier would need to extend the ship date for 2 weeks since this PO is already a rush PO with very tight lead time and they didn’t expect to have this change.

As for the handle, increasing the seam allowance at inside of the handle to 5/8 will bring extra cost and the supplier agreed to absorb from their end.
Please kindly understand and let us know your feedback in return.

Thank you.

Hi Kyra,

The logo I’m sending in attachment is the one the supplier used for reference, and also the one found on the original fly pack. As you can see, the letter “a†found on the attached logo looks the same as on the supplier’s samples. If revising the logo is needed, the supplier would need to postpone the ship date for 2 weeks, since this PO is already very rushed, with very tight lead time and they didn’t expect this change.

As for the handle, increasing the seam allowance inside of the handle to 5/8 inches will bring an extra cost, which the supplier has agreed to absorb from their end.

I hope I made everything clear. Please give us your feedback as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Hi Kyra,

Thanks for your feedback. Hate to sound like a broken record but I would have to double check if the total quantity is 5,500pcs.

We have instructed our supplier to prepare for these materials, however, given the TPU materials are very special and there is a German lock vendor- Fidlock involved. They would need the exact quantity to prepare all the materials at once before production.

Currently, we received Bass Pro’s PO for this cooler with quantity 1,624pcs and we received attached PO information today that will be another 1,624pcs. Could you please confirm that POs for the remaining quantity 2,252pcs will come through?

By the way, have you received the final proto sample for this cooler? Please let us know the feedback once available.

Thank you.
