Nametag Shipping & Delivery — 101

How long does it take to receive my order? That is a question a lot of our customer ask. We produce most name tag orders in 48 hours after the artwork is approved. The time of delivery is up to you and the level of service you choose. The faster the delivery - the more expensive it becomes.

Shipping can be a simple or complex matter. We will try to explain the available shipping methods and times for delivery.

U.S. Postal Service has been around the longest. The USPS offers a variety of methods for the shipping of name tags. Standard first class mail is a reliable inexpensive method to have your name tags shipped. This usually cost less than $5 and provides 1 to 7 day service in the Continental US. The downside to this shipping method is that you are unable to track the package's location or know the exact delivery time. The USPS also offers Express Mail - a glorified first class letter - with extra charges - no guarantee of specific delivery dates. Express mail is their 1-2 day delivery service. This method is very reliable and offers the ability to track your package and you have a guaranteed delivery date.

United Parcel Service offers a wide level of delivery service to fit most needs and budget. The nice thing about UPS is that every name tag order we ship has a unique tracking number associated with it. You have access to online tracking 24/7 so you can follow the shipping progress of your name badge order. The following describes each level of service.
