General Information

Back to Top

Clients provide the items to be printed. Plan to provide at least 10% more envelopes/place cards than needed, or a minimum of 10 additional envelopes/place cards (for orders of 50 addresses or less), or whichever is more. The additional envelopes allow for additional names to be added, or address changes or errors. We'll return any unused stock.

Start and Delivery Times

Back to Top

Calligraphy by Ellen has about a two week or less turn around time. The start time does not begin until all items are received by us. That includes, envelopes or other stock, client lists and deposit. If we do not receive the necessary items to complete your order on time, then Calligraphy by Ellen can't guarantee that the job will be finished by the agreed-upon delivery date.

 

Rush Orders

Back to Top

In most instances, a rush order is categorized as any order with a due date of less than 7 days from the date the items are received by Calligraphy by Ellen. The rush time period may vary based on the size of the requested project. The rush fee is 25% of the total cost of the order. Because of the lighter work loads during the off season, there may not be a rush fee. Please contact us for further details. 

Hand Calligraphy

Back to Top

We will correct any errors on our part at no additional charge and will be mailed on our next business day.

If  a customer needs to make a change to an item that we have already completed, the customer will be charged for our redoing that item.  

 

Samples

Back to Top

We will mail or fax a sample of one of your envelopes, prior to printing if you wish.  This will be done on OUR stock, so none of your envelopes will be wasted.  If it is mailed, then your delivery date will have to be modified to include this time.

Deposits and Payments

Back to Top

A 50% deposit of the quoted price for each order is due prior to adding your order to our work schedule. The balance is due before the completed items are shipped or delivered to you. 

If you decide to cancel your order before we start, your deposit or $25, whichever is less, will act as the cancellation fee.

Deposits are calculated separately for each project (invitations, envelope addressing, place cards, etc) since each project has a separate due date on our work schedule.   

Calligraphy by Ellen accepts payment by PayPal, personal or corporate checks,  money orders, and cash. PayPal accepts all major credit cards.
