Terms and Conditions


Take a few minutes to read over the following information.  It is important to both of us.
Minimum product billing
If the total product cost is less than our minimum ($25.00), we require that you pay the minimum plus sales tax (if applicable), packaging and shipping.

Each P.O. is assumed to be a separate order.  P.O.'s with two or more ship to addresses will be handled as separate orders, each subject to a minimum charge.

All prices are F.O.B., Skokie Illinois, subject to change without notice, and not subject to further discounts. 

Applicable sales tax, packaging and shipping charges are additional to published prices.
Payment terms
All order must be paid for in advance of production by credit card or check, unless otherwise arranged.


Shipping instructions
Most products are shipped and insured by United Parcel Service, unless otherwise requested. 

We cannot ship to a P.O. Box or by U.S. Mail.

Damaged product
We turn over merchandise in perfect condition to the carrier and we are not responsible for damaged suffered in transit.  The carrier, by law, is an agent of the customer and all claims for damage must be filed by the consignee.  Before accepting merchandise inspect for damage or shortage and refuse to sign the bill of lading until so noted.  Claims for damage, concealed or otherwise, must be filed with the carrier within seven days.  Do not completely unpack damaged merchandise until the carrier makes an official inspection.
Shortage
All claims for shotages or errors must be made in writing within five days of receipt of your order. No claims will be allowed thereafter.

All custom products and the Vista modular curved metal frame system are not, in any case, subject to cancellation.

Colors may vary from the color shown on your monitor and are subject to slight variation from batch to batch.
Blank units
With the exception of the "You Do It" nameplates series, Lettering Specialists signs are priced with the assumption that the signs will be lettered.  Blank units are available with a surcharge of the cost of 10 letters, per insert.
Production schedules
All estimates of time are done in good faith and every effort will be made to adhere to published schedules.  However, they are subject to change without notice due to avaliablilty of materials, work load, etc.
