General information


Sample Service

We can supply samples of the products illustrated on this web site: they are generic, i.e. not personalised. There is a charge for this service. 

Proofs & Cancellations

Proofs are included in the cost for all our personalised stationery orders, as are two sets of minor changes. Proofs can be emailed to you in a PDF format. Please check all aspects of the proof before amending and approving. We also recommend printing out all proofs to the correct size. Please contact us if you are unable to print your proof and in most cases we can arrange to send you printed PDFs in the post.

Please note that any major or substantial changes after the initial proof has been received may incur additional charges. A change of typeface counts as a major change and will be chargeable.

Cancellations made after proof stage will be charged at £50 per job. Cancellations made after printing stage will be charged at the full price of the job.

Timing

Timing will vary according to season, but in general these guidelines can be followed:

For Normal service, allow three to five working days for proofing and eight to fourteen working days after approval of proof for dispatch of goods. Please note that these are target dates and not guaranteed, during certain busy times of the year these timings can be extended.

For Express service, proofs will be issued within one working day of receipt of order, and the goods dispatched within four to five working days of approval of proofs. There is an extra charge of £75 for the first order on Express service, and an additional £25 per order placed at the same time.  

Please note all our gilded board is ordered after proof approval and has a minimum ten day turn around; for express orders, please ask your sales consultant to advise of timings.

Delivery

For the time it takes us to print your order please refer to the section on Timing. This section refers merely to the courier service we offer: in other words, after your job has been received, logged on, typeset, proofed, approved, sent to print, printed, finished and finally packed, how long does it THEN take for our courier service to get it to you? The answer to that is as follows:

We offer overnight courier delivery to the UK mainland (Highlands, Northern Ireland, and UK off shore require two working days). Worldwide deliveries are also offered, but take longer depending on destination. Please note that since the UK's exit from the EU deliveries may be subject to additional customs charges on arrival. 

Deliveries are made by courier from Monday - Friday during working hours, and a signature will be required. Please ensure the address given for delivery is either a work address or one that is manned during the day.
