Cartoon costs

14.Is there any up charge for custom orders? and how much?

• Cartoon costs
  To make custom orders including custom sizes, custom colors, custom designs, the same sized new cartoons  would be added. The up charge is to cover the salaries paid for our designers to draw the same sized cartoon by hand. It usually takes 15 to 40 days depending on the size of the cartoon and the design itself.  Salaries for designers are much higher than the weavers. But rest assured that we only take the costs and no profit would be added.
  
  Therefore, please try to avoid the up charge by choosing our ready designs in the standard sizes below,
