F.A.Q. General Questions
What forms of payment do you take?

We accept VISA, MASTERCARD, DISCOVER and AMERICAN EXPRESS. You can also mail us your business or personal check. Because we make custom/personalized signs to
order, production work will not begin
and your sign will not be shipped until your payment in full is received and processed. If paying by check, we
will wait the industry standard 10-14 business days for your check to clear before beginning production or shipping.
Can I be safe
ordering online?
Yes. Our ordering page/shopping
cart uses a
secure
encrypted server so you can feel perfectly safe entering your info/payment online.
We
also keep a current PCI Compliance Certificate which means
we pass the strict processing security requirements by the
credit card industry. We do not sell our
customers emails or names
either, we want you all to ourselves!
How can you offer such great prices on your signs?
Our sign engineers are creative innovators who seek out new materials and manufacturing methods that can be leveraged across many applications and customers. We have developed manufacturing processes that are extremely efficient; and it is this high degree of efficiency that allows us to create many more signs in much less time than our competition. We use parametric design on our computer aided sign making systems and techniques to manufacture high-impact, low maintenance signs that will endure for years. The end result is a huge savings to our customer without sacrificing quality.
Do you offer any Lease options?
Yes, "Lease to Purchase" options are available for our larger sign purchases (over $5000.) . Contact us for further info and details on this program. We can have a representative promptly contact you to discuss your payment plan options and see if leasing is right for you.
Do you offer a printed catalog?
We do not print a catalog, but offer hundreds of products/options on our website. We believe that our site is actually easier to shop than a catalog; click on a category at the top of this page "Products". Plus, we are constantly adding new products and options to our website, not just once or twice a year when a catalog would come out. f you want help in your search or need more information about a product, give our sales consultants a call at 1-800-640-8180.
Do you offer any RUSH service if I'm in a hurry?
Yes, we do offer RUSH service if you are up against a deadline.
However you must call and tell us your deadline after placing your order so we can determine your best shipping method and timeline. Depending on our current workload, RUSH service may not be available at all times of the year, please call first to inquire. Rush production service is not available on certain sign styles, Market Street or any carved signs. We can quote you a production timeframe when your order is placed.

F.A.Q. for
our "New England Style" signs
Will these signs
crack, peel or rot like wood and what are they made of?
See why we use no wood
in any of ours signs HERE. The small, large, jumbo
and magnum size "smooth surface" signs are made using a computer
cut high quality printed outdoor vinyl transfer applied to a 1/2" thick PVC
signboard. This is then covered with a
clear laminate vinyl to add further protection. The Grand and Pro size signs use a computer cut high quality printed
outdoor vinyl transfer applied to your
choice of a composite aluminum 1/4" thick signboard
(Alumacorr) or a strong 1" thick solid
PVC signboard. These are rigid, strong and
lightweight and handle all weather conditions very
well. They will not rot, crack, splinter, warp or
peel like painted wood does. We use the highest
quality 8-year high performance vinyl (min. expected
life span) on all signs. You also have the option to
purchase the correct stainless steel hanging/mounting hardware
in our sign accessories section.
How long does it
take to get my sign?
Most New England Style "smooth surface" signs are shipped in 2 weeks on average from the date of your proof approval. Sometimes larger more elaborate signs will require some extra time. For our carved style signs, typically allow at least 4 weeks production time (depending on current workload). If you need your sign faster, please let us know when you order. Depending on our production schedule at the time, we may be able to accommodate RUSH orders (extra charges may apply). All production times quoted are approximate, we may ship it sooner than our quoted time frame or after. We are dealing with complex machinery and computers to make your custom sign and occasionally unforseen delays may occur.
Can
I see a proof of my sign before production?
Yes, after your order is placed
our graphic artist will design your sign and then email you a proof for your review/approval
(within a few days of your order). After we get proof approval from
you your credit card will be charged and we will then build and ship your sign asap.
The sign proofs you receive will reflect the options you chose while designing/ordering
your sign. Changes can be made to your initial proof/layout if needed. We want you to be
happy with your sign layout before we build your sign.
How much does shipping
cost for "New England Style Signs"?
With our current promotion, any New England Style sign orders ship for FREE! (in the US 48 states)
How does "Freight
Delivery" work on larger size signs?
With our current promotion, any New England Style sign order ships FREE! (in the US 48 states)
All of our largest sign
products that do ship by freight are considered "curbside
delivery," which means that the driver will unload the shipment at the end
of your driveway or the entryway of your building. They will usually only enter
your property if they feel there is enough room to navigate their truck. Items difficult
to move from the truck may require your assistance. Occasionally, drivers
will offer to take boxes to your door or garage, but they should not be expected
to do so. Read more info on "What to do when your sign arrives by the freight/shipping company."
Freight Delivery: Let us know at the
time you place your order if you live on a narrow or winding road that may be difficult
for a full-size truck to navigate. The freight company may need to switch
to a smaller truck, and advance notice will save you a lot of time and money and
make delivery go more smoothly. If you do not have access to a loading dock, it's in your best interest to get additional people to assist you when delivery arrives. Any additional freight handling charges (above and beyond what was initially quoted) are the responsibility of the customer. e.g., lift gate charge, residential delivery charge, hold and redelivery charge, inside delivery, etc..
Please contact us for more info.

for our Market Street Signs
