Additional tips to receive the speediest turnaround:

  • Email your digital photos or overnight your prints to us via FedEx, UPS, etc.

  • For digital photos and scanned images: It is critical that you submit photos that meet our minimum resolution standards. The most common problem we encounter that delays an order is that the resolution on the photos submitted is too low. Your submitted files are not viewed until your order is next in the design queue (this can be up to six days later for non-rush orders!). Please, always send us the original unedited and unresized files. Do not submit digital images unless you are confident they meet our minimum standards. Complete instructions for submitting your photos appear on the order confirmation screen after you've ordered online. Click here to read through the requirements in advance.

  • Select an Air shipping method. Have your finished order shipped back to you via UPS Overnight or 2nd Day Air service. You'll be given the opportunity to change your final shipping method on your Proof Response Form when you approve your proof.

  • Check your email more frequently after you've placed your order and submitted your photos. This allows you to respond in a timely manner to your proof or any questions we may have.

  • Don't forget about these factors:
    --Shipping Time - Time in transit with UPS once your shipment has left our facility.
    --Addressing Time - The time it takes to address your envelopes. This will vary by how many cards you are sending out and whether you are addressing by hand or computer generated labels. Tip: make sure you have enough first class stamps on hand before your order arrives via UPS.
    --Postman Time - Once your cards are mailed when will they get to your friends? Allow 1-4 days depending on how far away your recipient's addresses are.
