PRODUCTION TIME

 

  • Each order is individually personalized with care by trained professionals. Please allow us the required production time needed to produce your order with the highest quality standards. We estimate production time in business days. This means Mondays through Fridays. If any seasonal closings due to holidays need to be counted they will be shown as a Production Time Exception near the estimate of production time and will alert you how many production days must be added to the estimate online.
  • Production time is an estimate, not a guarantee. Production days are considered Monday - Friday. Any holiday will be shown as a holiday exception. Weekends are not calculated in production estimates, although work may be done on your order over the weekend. Order early enough to allow for fluctuation in production time.
  • We suggest to order early to avoid holiday and other seasonal delays. Production time for each product on our site is listed in the product description.
  • Our weekday cut-off time is 9:00 a.m. CST. All orders placed by the cut-off time will have that business day counted as the first day of production. Production days are Mondays - Fridays and any holiday delays will be shown as a production exception. We are happy to rush your order if possible. Charges may apply.
  • We try very hard to produce items as per the timetable shown online. If there are any questions on your order it will delay production time. Please let us know if there are any special delivery dates for your order. We cannot hold orders once they are done. There are many factors in production that make exact date shipping impossible for us to guarantee.
  • Please do not order too early and ask us to hold orders to ship on advance dates as we do not have the storage capacity for those services.
  • If you requested a proof it might add an extra day or two on the production time. If there is any delay once we send you the proof for you to approve the proof.
  • If there is something you need by a specific date we suggest you email or call prior to placing your order to ensure that we can accommodate your request. You will need to put the "need by" date on your order or send us an email after you place your order so that we have your request documented. If this correspondence is not present, the order will progress through production and delivery as estimated online. We offer a special instructions/comments area on our order forms so please let us know if an item must arrive by a certain date. We may suggest faster delivery methods if we feel it's necessary to be sure it arrives when you need it or we might suggest you order a different product which might be faster. We also offer Gift Certificates which can even be emailed the same day.
  • We are not responsible for delays due to any circumstances nor are we responsible for earlier than expected shipments as some areas of production and delivery are outside our control. Production times are estimates and can vary depending on many factors including season, volume of orders in system, weather issues, back-ordered supplies, questions on orders and more. We use very responsible printing facilities and 99% of our orders do process timely. Please be sure you order personalized items with extra time to spare. We are not responsible for delays involved with production.
  • We not responsible for delays due to delivery for any reason. We are not responsible if a package is attempted to be delivered and not left for any reason. We do not require signatures on deliveries, however, it is up to your local carrier as to whether they leave a package if you are not home or if the location you request a delivery to does not accept the package or is not available to accept the package.

PROOFS
  • Generally we do not offer proofs and all orders run smoothly. If you feel uncomfortable and want to see a proof, you can contact us before you place the order and we can arrange for a paid proof. We are able to offer paid proofs only on select items on our site. You can request a paid proof by phone or email and we would quote the charge.
  • Proofs are a $10 fee and must be requested on the order at the time of purchase. Just indicate in the special instructions/comments portion of the order form that you would like a proof and understand there is a $10 fee. We will have the typesetting department professionally typeset your order and will provide you an image to review prior to production.
  • Proofs are charged separately and must be specifically requested by the customer by email.
  • Cancellation of an order after viewing a proof may require a cancellation fee plus the proof fee will not be refunded. The cancellation fee is determined based on the item you ordered and can be quoted by request.
  • There are a number of items which use a customer-supplied digital image and many of these include a complimentary proof. If there is a complimentary proof it would be stated in the product description. Cancellation to one of these items after viewing the proof incurs a $20 cancellation fee.
  • Proofs work like this... we would put your order into production but before it's printed we would email or fax you a copy of the typeset image for your review. The proof fee includes having the artwork done one time and then we provide it to you for review. If we make any error on the proof we would have it corrected according to the original order at no charge and then would put the job into production. There is a charge for 2nd proofs and that fee can be quoted by requested and depends on the item ordered and the number of new changes requested. If there is no mistake on the proof but you decide you want to change something about the order after seeing the proof there would be a resetting fee, to be quoted, and then the job would be printed. If you request to see the revised proof there would be an additional proof fee which can be quoted. Multiple proofs do incur additional fees.

ONLINE PREVIEWS
  • Online previews show approximately what a personalized item will look like including text, font, color and positioning of the imprint. Online previews are not a final proof as a professional typesetter/designer will make final positioning and sizing adjustments.
  • Online previews are only available on select products.
  • The color on an online proof may not exactly match the color of the final printed piece due to differences in monitors.

    Charges for cc-easy and e-invite orders may differ.
    *Invitations have their own shipping rates and are displayed within the ordering process for those products.

  • Express delivery is available for an additional fee. Generally 2nd day air will add $15 for one item and Overnight Air will add $28. For packages with several items or for heavier items there are additional fees. The 2nd day air or Overnight Air surcharge is in addition to the ground service charge. You can see the options for delivery fees appear online as you checkout or you can contact us for a quote. The shipping method must be scheduled at the time an order is placed. We are not responsible if expedited shipping is ordered and an item ships faster than the website estimates. Online production time is only an estimate. We are unable to refund expedited shipping selections once an order is in production.
  • We suggest providing a business address for deliveries when possible. Remember to include the company name plus suite number and/or floor if applicable for more efficient delivery.
  • We do not require a signature for delivery; however, your local driver may require a signature. We are not responsible if the driver requires a signature and if the recipient is not home to sign for the item. In such instances, even if it is a rush air package, the driver may not leave the item. You can check on our home page for tracking information or Contact Us and we can provide information on when the job is expected for delivery so you can watch for the package. If you know you will not be home on a day the item is expected, you can try leaving a note on your door with your signature authorizing the driver to leave the product for you. Delivery requirements by the carriers are beyond our control and we are unable to take responsibility. Please order early enough in case of any delay in delivery. Note that even Rush Air deliveries can be delayed due to outside factors outside of our control. If the driver does not require a signature, we are not responsible if a carrier leaves your package unattended at your home and damage or theft occurs.
  • We are also not responsible if a carrier makes several unsuccessful delivery attempts and then returns the package to us.
  • If a delivery is not possible to your location due to an incomplete address and the package is returned to us, we will need to recharge for the delivery to resend it again.
  • If you call to say you did not receive an order and if the carrier can provide delivery confirmation we are not able to issue any type of replacement. We will assist you in filing a claim with the carrier if such a rare incident occurs. Nearly all our shipments can be tracked from our manufacturing facility to the delivery address.

SHORTAGES
  • Our printers count your jobs at several times during the printing process including during the print run, at inspection and as the job is packaged. However, any discrepancies must be reported within 14 working days from the time you receive your job.

TRACKING STATUS
  • We work with many specialty manufacturers around the U.S. to be able to offer the variety on our site. Not all the factories are computerized so we are not able to offer online tracking at this time. All our products list the estimated production time and then please allow 3-5 business days for most deliveries. We offer online tracking from our HOME page on most products. If there is an item you wish us to track contact us at CustomerService@TheStationeryStudio.com and we'll gladly provide tracking information as available.

UNINTENDED ORDERS
  • If a customer enters an order by mistake and they call our offices immediately we will try to cancel it for you. If the job is already in production then it remains the customer's responsibility to pay for the order. We advise you not enter your credit card for a job you don't want. Once you enter your credit card into the system that will complete your order and it will be sent to our offices for production immediately. The best way to reach us is by email at Orders@TheStationeryStudio.com and you can also call us at 847-541-5800 to be sure we received your email.
