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 these are custom/personalized signs made 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 wait for your check to clear before beginning production or shipping.

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. 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 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 will 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?
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 within 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 4 or more weeks production time (depending on current workload). If you need your sign faster, please let us know when you order. We can usually accommodate RUSH orders (extra charges may apply).

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"?
We ship UPS whenever possible. Small signs = $14. Large signs = $18. Extra Large = $24. Jumbo signs are $35. Signpost shipping is $20 and up (oversized item). All 2-post Complete System signs cost $35 to $55 to ship depending on size (2 oversized items). All UPS shipping costs will automatically be added before checkout.

How does "Freight Delivery" work on larger size signs?
If your order requires freight shipment we will quote you a price before proceeding. Grand and Pro sized signs will ship on a skid by motor freight at actual cost. All of our 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. Please CLICK HERE to read info on "What to do when your sign arrives by the freight/shipping company."

Freight Delivery: Hard-to-Reach Destinations:
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. Lift Gate service delivery may be available for an extra fee if requested.
Please contact us for more info.
