What is your typical turnaround time? We usually create your products within 2-3 business days of receiving your order. Shipping times vary, but you should expect 3-10 business days (14 business days during holiday periods) for standard shipping in the continental US. Extremely large orders, as well as delivery to an APO/FPO address, to Hawaii and to Alaska can sometimes cause additional delays. Having us help with the design can also increase the turnaround time.
Can you exactly match colors? While we try our best to match the colors on your design, we are not always able to match exactly. This has to do with our full color digital manufacturing process and variations in how colors look on computer screens. Colors may vary across different types of products due to the printing process and how the product absorbs the inks.
If I e-mail in a question, how long will it take for you to get back to me? Generally, we respond to all e-mails within one business day.

How do I make a mug (or other product) with a different name and or/image on each one?
You have a number of options.
(a) Email us a list with the names and (if applicable) the names of the images, send us the images, and we will take it from there.
(b) Create your design and save it as a project. From the "My Projects" tab in "My Account", select the project and click "Copy selected Project" on the right navigation panel. You will be taken into the design tool where you can make any changes. Do this for each unique unit.
(c) Create the design for the first unit. When in the Cart, click the Copy & Modify link under the thumbnail of your product, make the changes for the second unit, and add it to the cart. Continue this for each unit.
Why didn't I receive my entire order? If you ordered more than one product, your order might come in more than one shipment. That is because we have a number of production facilities and different products are made at different facilities. We send your orders directly from the production facilities so that you can get them as soon as possible.
Can I make a change after my order is submitted? If you want to make a change, you would need to contact customer service right away. We move things to production as quickly as possible, so the window for changes is extremely small.
How do I use the red and blue lines around my design to make sure it is the right size for the product?Your background should extend all the way to the edge of the surface to ensure that the resulting product does not end up with a white border around it. This is sometimes called the bleed line. Any elements such as text or an important part of an image should be within the blue safety zone to ensure that it does not get cut off during production due to slight shifts that may occur when we trim your product.
