F.A.Q. for our "New England Style" signs

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. Production work will not begin on your sign until your payment is received and processed. If paying by check, we wait 2 weeks for your check to clear before beginning production.

Do you offer any Lease options?
Yes, through a partnership with Midwest Leasing Group (MLG) we offer a "Lease to Purchase" option. You will be presented with this payment option in the shopping cart if your sign order totals $2000. or more. Contact us for further info.

Do you offer RUSH service?
Yes, see info under "general questions" below.

Will these signs crack, peel or rot like wood and what are they made of?
The small, large and jumbo size signs are made using a computer cut high quality printed outdoor vinyl transfer applied to a 1/2" thick PVC signboard. The Grand and Pro size signs use a computer cut high quality printed outdoor vinyl transfer applied to a composite aluminum 1/4" thick signboard (Alumacorr). 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 vinyl (min. expected life span) on all signs. They also include the correct stainless steel hanging/mounting hardware where necessary so there is no future rust to worry about.

How long does it take to get my sign?
Most 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. 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 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 are $14. Large signs are $18. Jumbo signs are $35. Signpost shipping is $20 (oversized item). All 2-post Complete System signs cost $55 to ship (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.

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.
