The printing turnaround time starts when your order is paid for and a proof has been confirmed via email to the Artwork Team. All orders confirmed and paid for before 2pm will begin production the same working day. If the order is confirmed and paid for after 2pm the first day of the turnaround time will be the following working day. All turnaround times quoted are a typical turnaround and are not guaranteed unless confirmed to you in writing. Turnaround times can vary depending on backlogs and order specification.

4.2 Express Turnaround Time – The express turnaround time starts once a proof has been confirmed and payment has been received. If this is after 2pm the following working day will be working day 1 of the express turnaround time.

We will not refund any other cost of the order where applicable.

The express turnaround time is the time period for the order to be dispatched within NOT the time period the order is expected to be delivered within. This is due to orders being dispatched by 3rd party carrier

4.3 For multiple item orders, the turnaround time will be the same as the item which has the longest turnaround time.

Delivery

5.1 We will use our best endeavors to dispatch all orders within the typical working day turnaround time and all dispatch/delivery dates shall be regarded at best as estimates only unless confirmed to you in writing. As the purchaser you must accept the actual delivery date and we shall not be liable for any losses, costs, damages or expenses suffered by you the purchaser or any other party as a result of any delay in delivery. Especially in cases where third parties i.e. subcontractors or carriers are involved. Neither will any such failure to meet a delivery date constitute a breach of contract on our part.

5.2 Special deliveries via alternative carriers/weekend deliveries can normally be arranged but will usually be subject to an additional charge.

5.3 Accepting Delivery by Carrier – Your purchase will be checked before packing and will leave us in good condition. It will then be fully insured whilst in transit to you. However it is a condition of the insurance contract, and therefore your responsibility to ensure that you, or anyone receiving goods on your behalf, check all goods delivered by carrier before signing for and accepting them. If ANY damage is found, you MUST sign and mark the carriers delivery note as ‘damaged’ and report the complaint to us within 24hrs of delivery. If the delivery note has been signed for as ‘accepted in good condition’, or similar you will be in breach of this contract and be effectively invalidating the insurance. As a result you will have waived all right to claim for any repair or replacement.
