Turnaround Time

Our turnaround time can flex depending on how many orders we have in our queue. Generally we try to keep custom orders. like yours, to around three weeks from the day the order is paid for, to the day they are placed in the mail. If you need your cards in time for a specific event, please let us know. We may be able to accommodate a quicker turnaround time depending on the length of our queue and the specifications of your order. Rush orders will most likely involve a rush fee and/or extra costs for expedited shipping.

Shipping (U.S)

We ship all packages within the U.S. through the United States Postal Service. Packaging weighing under a pound are shipped First Class while packages over a pound get shipped Priority. Both services come with a tracking number which will automatically be emailed to you as soon as we purchase postage for your order. Transit time within the U.S. is generally 2-4 days.

Shipping (International)

For orders outside the United States, we give you the option to use DHL or USPS. DHL is more expensive than shipping through USPS, but has much better tracking, a better system for support if packages are lost or delayed, and considerably faster transit times. International transit times with DHL range from 4-7 days depending on the destination. If you choose USPS, transit times are much more unpredictable for destinations outside of the United States. For USPS, expect shipping times between 7-10 days for Canada, 9-17 days for Australia, and 8-19 days in Europe.

Shipping taxes like customs and VAT fees are common in order to receive your package in your country. These fees are ever-changing and complicated for us to charge up front on our end. You are responsible for any additional import taxes that your country charges for stationery items like business cards and writing stationery.

General Shipping Information

We make no attempt to nickel and dime you on shipping and “handling” costs. Our goal is to simply cover our costs on postage while giving you the most reliable and affordable shipping options available to us.

Payment

After we finalize your order, we'll email you a payment link that can be securely paid online via credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay / Google Pay, etc. Once payment is complete, your order will officially be placed and hold its spot in our print queue.

Reorders

We always keep your letterpress plates in the shop for future reorders. Reorders (assuming the original design is unchanged) get 20% off the original price and tend to be fulfilled quicker than a first time order.

Customer Accounts and Credit

If you're a first-time customer, you'll have the option to setup a customer account after checkout (we'll send you an email with instructions). Accounts are not required, but are handy to re-download your approved PDF proofs, request reorders, check your estimated ship date, review the details of past orders, and cash in your accrued account credit.

For every order you make, we credit your account with 5% of the cost of that order as a thank you. Your account credit will accrue with each order until you choose to "cash out" by turning your credit in to a discount code you can use during a future purchase.

If you're a past customer and are not sure if you have an account, you can try to login or ask for a password reset. Or, reach out and we'll check on that for you!
