Custom Workroom / Distributor to the Trade
Welcome to our “Custom Design” Labor Program. This program is a complete fabrication
service which will allow you to design treatments that are not found in our Custom Classics
Program and Simply Custom Program and/or fall outside the normal standards & specifications that
are represented in our other labor programs. These orders require estimates, which MYL will
provide at no charge.
These orders require close attention by our experienced designers who will supply you with a
written estimate for price and yardage. These estimates must be confirmed by you with written
signature before the order is entered into production. The prices are slightly higher based on the
complexity of the treatment. You may request that a design be added into the other labor programs
for future time and cost savings.
MYL will create products using customer’s unique design and measurements allowing you to put
your personal touch in creating a special look. Please include any pictures or sketches that will help
in the designing of your treatment knowing that pictures can be reproduced; however, sketches are
not always possible to make.
If price consideration is important to your customer, please review our Custom Classics Labor
Program and our Simply Custom Fabric & Labor Programs.

MYL Estimating Policy
Dear Valued Customer;
We want to take this opportunity to thank you for your business. Since the founding of our company we have always
strived to put our customers’ needs first with superior customer service.
Our Custom Classic & Simply Custom Labor Programs make ordering any product a much simpler task for our
customers. These two programs include standard product specifications; trim information, and easy to use yardage and
pricing charts for almost any design opportunity. With that in mind, be advised that Merrill Y. Landis, Ltd. (MYL) has
always been happy to provide assistance in calculating yardage and pricing for our customers when requested in the
form of written Estimates. Due to the increased demand for this service, we can no longer provide yardage
and pricing for items found in our Custom Classic & Simply Custom Labor Program price books free of
charge. There will be a 5% charge for these Estimates. We will however, be more than happy to direct you to
the correct page and assist you in reading the charts for the products when needed. We do offer classes to our
customers, free of charge, to learn how to use our Custom Classic & Simply Custom Programs. If you are interested,
please contact Jackie Gebhard at 215-723-8177 (Ext. 203) or via e-mail [email protected].
Our Estimating Department is designed to provide assistance in calculating yardage and pricing for
specialized products not found in our current price books. We will continue to do written Estimates for
those products not found in our books at no charge. You must submit all Estimate Requests in writing. Any
change in measurements, style, fabric width, or repeat will void the estimate and you will have to request a new
estimate. Estimates are valid for 90 days, after that time you must submit a new request for Estimate. Estimate
requests will be processed within two business days. (This is subject to change based on the volume of Estimate
requests received each day.)
To turn an Estimate into an Order, you must sign the Estimate and mark “Use As Order” on the Estimate before faxing to
us. We will no longer be able to accept an Estimate as a Work Order unless it is signed and marked “Use
As Order”. Or, you can send us your written Work Order with the Estimate # clearly marked on the Order and/or a
copy of the signed Estimate attached. The Estimate pricing will only be honored if the Estimate number is specified on
your Work Order and we have your signature to approve the Estimate.
If, after we receive your Work Order, we discover that your Estimate was lacking information that results in production
changes; additional charges may be added depending on the complexity of the treatment. MYL reserves the right to
add additional costs, if necessary, once we receive your Work Order. You will be notified of these additional charges
prior to the start of production whenever possible. MYL will not be responsible for any fabric shortages or fabric
overages that cannot be factored in at the time of Estimate due to various repeats or complexity of the treatment.
It is our hope that the steps that we are taking to improve our Estimating procedures will increase our ability to provide
superior customer service. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for your interest in Merrill Y. Landis, Ltd., we look forward to servicing all of your custom workroom needs.
Sincerely,
MERRILL Y. LANDIS, LTD.
