Most orders will ship within 4 business days, 5. You will receive a payment confirmation email after you make payment and a shipping confirmation email once your order has shipped

Can I place my order over the phone or fax you my order?
Unfortunately we cannot accept orders over the phone or by fax, all orders must be placed through our online ordering system. This method of ordering offers many advantages, such as: 1) it allows you to verify information as you provide it for your order, 2) provides a trackable order in our system that you can monitor, 3) provides automated email notifications concerning your order, 4) helps eliminate setup fees and helps keep prices low by providing a streamlined ordering process, 5) provides an "Express Reordering" system to easily place new orders for products you have ordered in the past, 6) you have the ability to see your order history and print invoices, 7) you have the ability to update your billing and shipping information as needed
Will I receive a proof of my award design?
Very few of our items require a proof. During the ordering process, you will choose from several pre-designed layouts to show us how you want the text and information printed or engraved on the item. If your item requires a proof before we produce it, our online system will inform you that you are submitting the order for a proof. If our system does not inform you of a proof, then a proof is not needed.
How do I view the proof of my award?
You will view your proof from within your account on our web site. Sign in to your account and click on the ‘Review Proof’ button or click on the link from the email you received. When you approve the proof you will be directed to the payment and shipping pages of the checkout process.
When will my proof be ready for viewing?
Our goal is to have your proof ready within 1 business hour. This applies to our regular Monday - Friday business hours of 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. eastern standard time. However, we can't always anticipate the number of orders we will receive and a 1-hour proofing time may not always be possible. Under these circumstances, your proof will be ready no later than by the end of our next business day. We will send you an email notification when your proof is ready. You can also sign in to your account at any time to check the status of your proof.
Will I receive a proof of every item in my order?
No. We prepare a proof of one item using only one name from your order. You will not see a proof of every name submitted in your order. This is one way we eliminate setup fees. The names and information you provide for your items will be used EXACTLY the way you provide it. In the unlikely event that we produce an item incorrectly, we would replace the item at no charge to you.
Will I receive a confirmation of my order and payment?
We will send you an automated email notification after each of the following steps: - When you request a proof, - When your proof is ready for viewing, - When you have made payment for your order, - When your order has shipped. *Note: As these are automated emails, sometimes your email client will sort them into your ‘bulk’, ‘spam’ or ‘junk’ email folders.
How do I check the status of my order?
Sign in to your account and the status of your order will be shown beside your order number. You can also click on the order to see more information.
Do you keep our award design on file?
Yes. We keep your design, your logo and all of your information on file. You do not need to re-send your logo for future orders unless you have changed your logo design. To place an order for your existing design, click on the "Express Reorder" link on our web site and sign in to your account.

I have designed my own artwork for my award. Can you use my artwork just as I have designed it?
