In the event of miss-production, faulty products or damage during delivery, we are able to resupply affected items. We do however require a photo of any items in question before we can resupply them. If items have been delivered and signed for as received in good condition and damaged during transit, or damaged as a result of opening, mishandling, mistreatment, vandalism, heavy weather conditions or other circumstances out of our control, we are unable to offer reprints, replacements or refunds. In some cases we may recover the affected item before offering a reprint.
Artwork
Artwork that has been supplied in an editable fashion, we may be able to make a minimal modification for you. However, substantial changes will require a studio fee of £30 + VAT.
Due to the hundreds of large files we receive each day, we have a restriction on file size for attachments sent via email, so we kindly ask that you supply any artwork through our WeTransfer Upload Service. This ensures that we receive your artwork and prevents delays. Artwork sent via email can often cause delays with your order.
No, we do not charge more for different designs.
As standard eyelets are placed one every 2 foot. If you require a different distribution or specific placement of eyelets, that’s no problem at all – simply let us know what you need when you place your order.
If artwork cannot be used to produce what has been ordered, we will advise you of this and request how you would like to proceed. Please note that we cannot be held responsible for issues contained in the supplied artwork itself such as spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, RGB colour mode, overprint, resolution, missing fonts and missing images. To avoid these issues, please ensure your artwork adheres to our artwork requirements. If an artwork size is different to the ordered size, the ordered size always takes precedence. This is due to the fact that artworks from our customers are supplied in a variety of scales. With subjective issues of quality such as image resolution, we will sometimes advise you if the quality is extremely low, though again, we cannot be held responsible if the artwork is supplied in such a manner and isn’t suitable for your needs.
If you uploaded your artwork to us via WeTransfer the link will remain active for one month. Due to the hundreds of files we deal with each day, unfortunately we are unable to keep hold of artwork from previous orders.
