Shipping and Delivery Options for Online Printing

Tracking Your Order

You can track the status of your order at any point throughout the production process.

Look for the box (circled below) in the upper left corner of your screen, or go directly to the Order Status page.

Enter your 9-digit order number.
The production status of your order will be displayed, as well as the estimated shipping date if you have already approved your proof. If you are able to make changes to your order-quantity, paper, production speed, shipping speed, address changes, split shipments, etc-the appropriate links will be displayed.

At proof approval, you are presented with an interactive delivery date calendar.

The calendar displays current shipping addresses and scheduled shipment & estimated delivery dates, based on current production and shipping speeds.
You're in control of your order! You can:
  - Speed up or slow down your production speed
  - Speed up or slow down your shipping speed
  - Change shipping addresses
  - Add additional shipments
The InstaPrice calculator will display the adjusted order total for any changes selected. Some tips:
  - Experiment with various combinations of production speeds and shipping methods.
  - Split your shipment if you need only a portion of your order faster.
  - It is often more cost-effective to upgrade shipping rather than production.
If you have made changes, be sure to click the button (circled in red above). You then have the option to view, print or email an updated receipt.

When your order ships, you will receive the tracking number(s) via email.

The tracking information will be displayed on the online status screen as well. If you have requested that your order ships via an alternative carrier (USPS, FedEx or freight) tracking information may not be available online. Please call 1-800-930-6040 with questions.

Quantity

You will receive more pieces than you order, free of charge, almost all of the time.
On rare occasions, we may ship slightly fewer pieces than ordered. Printing industry standards allow for underages (shortfalls/deficiencies) of up to 5%, however such underages are the exception, not the rule, at PrintingForLess.com.
If you need an absolute guaranteed quantity, we recommend that you order 5% over the quantity that you need. If you are using a mailing service, you may also want to inquire about any additional quantities they may need for equipment calibration, testing, waste, etc.

Your Guarantee

We want you to be delighted with our printing. We will complete your project in accordance with industry-wide trade standards for color and registration. Since monitor calibration varies widely, we run to uniform ink levels and a "pleasing color" standard.

Full refund guarantee does not apply to shipping claims. We will reprint orders damaged or lost by UPS or FedEx.
We reserve the right to have you return the original order, at our cost, before reprinting or refunding your order.
Maximum refund per order or customer is $2500. The only remedy for problems with orders over $2500 is reprinting of the order to correct product defects. We are always reasonable to work with on orders of any size, but the lawyers made us put this part in to protect ourselves from possible fraud.
This guarantee is limited to reprint of the original order quantity or refund of the purchase price of the order. We are not responsible for any damages or claims incurred by you or your business caused by receiving printed materials which are defective or incomplete or which you receive later than the estimated delivery date.
