All custom projects require a purchase order and 50% deposit. This deposit is deducted from your final bill. The deposit allows us to make the molds, dies needed to provide you with a production sample. Production samples will be fine-tuned and remade as necessary at no additional cost within reasonable changes. All changes must be from original design request.

The remaining balance is due upon project completion, prior to shipping.

Our Antenna Balls are manufactured from a high-density, soft foam material. This is the material used to make the very popular Jack and Mickey. You can request a referral from us for materials such as polystyrene, plastic or materials other than our soft foam.

1. The soft foam is actually colored material, not painted! No paint means no chipping!

2. Antenna Balls are either milled into round balls, die cut into specific shapes or molded in to 3-D designs depending on your needs and budget.

3. Soft foam expands over all size car antenna's or pencils/pens. Whereas other materials require adapters or the customer's need to dig or carve out a larger hole. Through experience, polystyrene products tend to "ream" out and don't stay on an antenna. This is similar to taking your nail to a styrofoam cup, when you indent with your nail, it does not return to shape.

Lead times vary with the information/material we receive in order to start the project.

Sample Prototype: Average of 2-3 weeks once prototypes have been approved there will be a minimum production lead-time of 4 weeks; lead-times vary according to quantities. Rush orders are available with a 20% upcharge.

No. We do not offer retractable antenna adapters because we have found over the years, that they do not fit most car antennas and may cause damage with the electric motors and the telescoping antennas. (Fact: 89% of cars on the US highways have freestanding antennas, the remaining antenna's are in windshields or dash. There seems to be a growing trend going back to antennas because of the cost to replace windshields and the reception issues).

Yes. Most of our products come with strings, danglers as we call them. There is a slight additional charge, and you must specify before production.

Yes. We came up with the original Coolbuddies^® Spring Stand. Patent Pending. Just inquire with quantities.
