Never order pins before? - Keep these things in mind...

• Order in time! This is the MOST important part of ordering custom pins. If you don't allow enough time - you'll be forced to use rush shipping which will increase your price. Regular shipping is FREE! So why wait? Allow enough time with your order to RECEIVE your pins at least a couple of weeks before your event.
• Order enough pins! If you are going to a tournament - order enough pins so that you may trade with everyone! 50 or 100 extra pins only costs a little more with your initial order. But having to separately order this many pins in a second order costs a lot more.
• Quantity affects price! The number of pins you order can greatly increase or decrease your cost per pin. Each order has fixed manufacturing costs associated with it. The more pins you order, the more pins there are over which to distribute those costs, and the lower your cost per pin. Keep your cost down and order a few extra for friends, family and keepsakes.
• Order a good sized pin! If you are planning to trade your pin - don't order a one inch pin and wonder why you have trouble trading it. Kids like big pins and bigger pins trade better. The average sized trading pin that Metro Pins sold in 2007 was 2.07". Remember - a quarter inch makes a big difference!  A 2.00" pin is 31% larger than a 1.75" pin.  A 1.75" pin is 36% larger than a 1.50" pin.  A 2.00" pin is 78% larger than a 1.50" pin.  You get the picture.
