Shipping Tips
Shipping your order on time is a shared priority — and a little planning goes a long way. Below you'll find answers to our most common shipping questions, from processing times to carrier options. When in doubt, choose UPS for any time-sensitive order.
Where do you ship from?
We ship from Old Chatham, New York, 12136
How long does it take for you to print and ship my place cards?
We try to print your custom cards within 10 business days for a normal size event. In many cases, we are able to ship earlier than 10 days depending on our order load. Rush orders may incur an additional fee.
For larger events, creating your order may take weeks or months depending on your needs and the complexity of the project.
USPS vs. UPS?
What's guaranteed and what's not!
USPS does not guarantee delivery dates. Their 2–3 day estimate is just that — an estimate. Actual delivery from NYC can range from 1–5 days or more. Only choose USPS if you have no firm deadline.
UPS guarantees delivery. If you have a specific deadline, select the appropriate UPS method at checkout — and note it on your calligraphy form so we're aware.
Golden Rule: Plan ahead. It gives you more shipping options and better control over cost and timing.
What happens if my purchase arrives after my event?
We do everything we can to get your order to you on time. To help ensure that:
- Tell us your deadline on the form or at checkout.
- Choose the right shipping method: USPS if there's no firm deadline; UPS if your event is within two weeks. You have full control over how your package ships — just know that speed comes at a cost.
Please note: once you've selected a courier, we cannot take responsibility for shipping delays, third-party carrier issues, or missed deliveries on your end. No refunds will be issued for late arrivals.

Please understand how duties and tariffs work in your country before you make your purchase!
