Sometimes.

When?

When we already have enough inventory.
When the colors or options you select are unusual.
When there has been little communication between us and you, i.e., an order via email or text with very little back and forth.
When we are busy and you want to hold you place in line.

In most cases about 10% of the purchase price. Deposits can be paid via PayPal, Cash App, or check in the mail.
