Getting Started

Yes, we recommend all associates view the Benson Quick Start video within 30 days of onboarding. This is a quick, easy, and self-service way to learn about Benson on-demand…online, anytime! Additional instructions will be provided separately about alternative sessions.

Shipping & Rush Requests

Yes! Just enter a note in the Special Instructions box at the cart level or reach out to your Account Team.

“Bundling” shipping is grouping purchases into a single shipment with flat rates and fewer packages versus ordering separately*. The Benson bundle is made up of two key parts:

• Flat Rates: Flat-rate shipping tiers based on the cost of the product with two types:

1) standard products and 2) custom promotional products

• Grouped Purchases: Grouping multiple products into a single shipment; less boxes and fees than multiple vendors!

*Apparel items are automatically shipped separately from non-apparel items.

Standard shipping starts at just $5.95 and is a tiered structure based on order price. Custom promotional products (i.e. any non-inventoried promo items that are customized with property or company information) have a separate shipping tier structure.

Standard Products 

Promo Products

Yes, if you need alternative shipping options, you can notate in the “special instructions” box upon checkout and provide your in-hands date. Your account team can provide quotes and determine the best shipping option for you and provide those quotes for approval. Overnight and other rush shipping options by UPS are available for additional fees. Shipping defaults to standard UPS Ground unless otherwise specified. There are no specific exceptions, however, once a product has left the facility as UPS Ground, it cannot be changed. Rush fees are based on actual shipping rates from UPS.
