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

2. Enter your 9-digit order number.
3. 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.

    - Change shipping addresses
    - Add additional shipments

• 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.

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.

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.
