USA Shipping: Domestic Shipping- UPS ground is the main and usually the most economical service that we offer for shipments under 150lbs. You can calculate shipping costs in the shopping cart by adding similar blank items(to your custom) from the ‘Stock Products’ and continuing to the checkout process. No payment is required to get the quote. For shipments larger than 150lbs, trucking/LTL may be a better cost effective option. You can request a quote from a rep for trucking. We can also ship billing to your UPS or FedEx acct#. FedEx shipments may delay your turnaround time by a day.

If you don’t have your own logistics provider, or are just checking shipping rates, please contact us for a shipping quote. For smaller shipments less than 150lbs, UPS is usually the preferred method. USPS(Post) is an option for smaller shipments usually single package sample shipments. You can actually get a quote instantly by adding items to the shopping cart(add the similar ‘stock’ items if you want to check shipping costs before ordering custom). For shipments over 200lbs (usually more than 70 decks), we can quote an air ship freight service. Transit time is usually 7 days or less. We don’t’ offer ocean freight services, but if you have your own shipping agent, we regularly prepare shipments for ocean freight to the ports. Terms usually follow incoterms ‘Ex Works’.

Tips for hand draw art. (1) Make the art slightly larger than the 9×34” template. (2) Before you scan in the art, make sure you don’t have any board outlines or truck holes in the graphic, or THEY WILL PRINT. (3) One key thing to remember is that low resolution art will print as low resolution. The easiest way to check you art is, after you have scanned it, open it on your computer, your phone won’t work. Zoom in on your art until it is roughly the width of an actual deck, 8-9 inches wide. If you art looks low resolution (pixelated) at that size, it will look nearly the same when printed. (4) If you have any black in your graphic, just know it will not print 100% black.
