Order Dispute and Resolution Policy

We will complete your order in accordance with industry-wide trade standards for color and registration and according to the parameters defined in your order request and as outlined on our website. Customers are advised to confirm their orders by reviewing all order details and related Print and (or) Address Files during the "Review and Submit" stage of the ordering process and by reviewing the Order Confirmation Email sent to the email address indicated in the "Contact" field on the order. Due to the highly automated processes incorporated in the fulfilling of your order, any changes required to an order must be communicated to expresscopy.com by personal telephone contact (800-260-5887) during our normal business hours, 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Monday - Friday, Pacific Time, as soon as possible (except holidays). We will not accept email or voice mail communication requests to change or cancel an order. Any changes to an order can result in delays in the fulfillment of your order. Orders that have been printed cannot be changed or canceled and will be billed as ordered.

Order Delivery

expresscopy.com makes no expressed guarantees in meeting the turnaround timeframes stated on our website or quoted by personnel. We operate on a Monday - Friday schedule and generally fulfill print-ready orders within 1-2 business days. expresscopy.com attempts to meet these same turnaround times on orders that encounter delays in processing resulting from incorrect art/file specifications or design problems. However, our turnaround timeframe begins when the final "problem" has been addressed by the customer. expresscopy.com uses third-party service providers to deliver your order and is not liable for delivery problems caused by these providers. These providers include, but are not limited to The United States Postal Service (USPS) and United Parcel Service (UPS). Orders delivered through UPS are delivered at the option of each customer (Saturday delivery can be arranged upon request for an additional charge). UPS will deliver your order to the address identified as "Ship My Order To" on your order. UPS delivers first to business addresses, followed by residential deliveries. The customer is responsible for checking all UPS shipments for damages upon delivery. Damaged shipments should be reported to the driver at the time of delivery and refused. Please call our Customer Support at 800-260-5887 to report any such damages. expresscopy.com is not responsible for any damage to orders caused by delivery providers that are not reported to the delivery provider at the time of delivery. First-Class™ or Standard (Bulk) Mailing orders are deposited into the USPS mail stream at the Business Mail Entry Unit of the Portland, Oregon Main Post Office, after which they become the responsibility of the USPS. These mailings are addressed with the addresses provided in your address file(s). Address files must meet our addressing and address file specifications as defined on our website. USPS delivery standards on First-Class™ mail are one (1) to five (5) business days and three (3) to twenty-one (21) business days for Standard (Bulk) Mail, dependent upon destination distance from Portland, Oregon. Customers are encouraged to request a card be mailed to them during the ordering process. This "seed card" is mailed to the recipient and address identified as "Ship To" on the order. When you place your Order, you agree that our delivery to the USPS fulfills our Order fulfillment requirements, and serves as Signed and Accepted Order Delivery, after which you waive any right to dispute any related Order credit card charges because of failed delivery by the USPS.

Color Matching, Proofing, and Alterations

expresscopy.com does not perform "color matching". Our commercial printers utilize the process colors CMYK (cyan, magenta yellow and black) to compose all colors. Be certain to design your product using CMYK. Product components submitted utilizing the color pallet RGB (red, green, blue) can result in unsatisfactory shifts in colors. You have the option of ordering a shipped proof to verify that color closely matches your expectations. We will not run the proofed component until we have received approval from you. You can cancel the order before granting proof approval should you desire to make a change to the component, but will be charged for the shipped proof. Should you find the color on the proof to not match, our Technical Support staff is available to assist you in more closely matching to your desired color. Since monitor calibration varies widely, we run to uniform toner levels and a "pleasing color" standard. Pleasing color is defined as satisfactory even though it may not precisely match the original sample. expresscopy.com will not be held liable for orders consisting of components that are submitted not in accordance with our file or design specifications for color, layout, bleed, margins, font embedding, file flattening, etc. We can provide a printed proof of your custom artwork in a timely manner, at a reasonable cost and we encourage our customers to order proofs of all products they are not familiar with as this will ensure that your expectations are fully met. Printed, shipped proofs are cut to finished size and must be reviewed by the customer for proper margins and/or adherence to design specifications and approved or disapproved using online tools or by return fax or email communication to the appropriate parties as defined in Proof Notifications. expresscopy.com will not review your print files for spelling, design layouts excluding top bleed and margin requirements), color space (RGB or CMYK), nor do we compare your provided PDF colors as displayed on a monitor to printed output for matching. expresscopy.com will not be responsible for any layout or unexpected print quality or color issues on a project that has not been proofed by the customer by means of printed proof, nor will we be responsible for any issues if the only "proofing" was viewing the online PDF. We will not be responsible for incorrect layouts or color issues introduced from third party graphic designers. Choosing the option to grant permission to expresscopy.com to Adjust Your Files during the order placement process allows us to adjust your print file to meet bleed and margin requirements. Such alterations include, but are not limited to: resizing or movement of images and/or text to fit within our defined size / margin / bleed specifications (not to exceed 10% of original size). Should your file require adjustments beyond this, your order will be placed on hold and the person listed as the "Contact" on the order will be contacted through the indicated email address for resolution. Orders placed not granting expresscopy.com to alter the files will be placed on hold if the file does not meet design specification until the Contact Person resolves the problem. All design problem resolution requests will be initiated by expresscopy.com through email to the Contact Person indicated on the order by noon the next business day after the problem is identified. Return correspondence is to be made by the Contact Person through direct telephone correspondence to our main telephone number, 800-260-5887 during our normal business hours (Monday - Friday 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM, excluding holidays). We highly recommend submitting only print-ready orders to reduce delays. We offer training and assistance in utilizing all of our online tools, meeting file requirements and developing successful direct marketing campaigns. We reserve the right to change paper base stocks, without prior notification.

Order Cancellation

Orders can only be cancelled by direct telephone call to our Customer Support Department during our normal business hours (Monday - Friday 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM, excluding holidays). Your cancellation request must be made directly with a Customer Support Representative. We do not accept voice mail or email requests to cancel an order. Orders may be canceled up until the order has been batched or begun printing. Orders that have been batched or have begun printing will be billed as completed. Credit or debit cards used as payment on orders are authorized for the original order amount upon receipt of your order. Credit and or debit cards are not charged until the full order (all related components) has been completed. Payment authorizations and "held funds" related to submitted orders will remain active in accordance with the credit or lending institutions policies. expresscopy.com is not liable for such authorization periods.
