Product and Service Delivery
Are the banners and signs made in the United States?
Yes. Our signs, banners, and tablecloths are all printed and shipped from our California facility.
What is your quality guarantee?
We stand behind all of our products at ARTalks Display. If you notice any errors in our finishing, material, or printing, we will reproduce your product and ship it for free.
What is your turnaround time?
Standard turnaround time is 2 business days. Next-day turnaround is available with select items. Turnaround time is measured from when you approve your design proof and submit the full payment before 3 PM PST on a business day.
Art Proof Questions
Will I see a proof after placing the order online?
We send art proofs within two hours during normal business hours (9 AM to 5 PM PST, Monday through Friday) . Proof approval is required on every order prior to production.
Can I see a proof before purchase?
Yes, we offer a free proof before purchase with no obligation to order. You can email the artwork or logo to design@artalksdisplay.com or submit it on the Upload File page.
My logo/image is pixelated. Can you fix it?
We can’t fix low-quality images. Please obtain your original high-resolution artwork, or allow our graphic designer to re-create your logo (starting from $45/logo).
Shipping Questions
What is the Live Shipping Estimator?
Our Live Shipping Estimator provides a list of delivery options that includes various shipping methods, real-time shipping costs, and estimated order arrival times for our customers. Look for it on our product pages.
When will my order ship? When will my order arrive?
We ship all of our products within 1 to 2 business days. It takes another 1 to 5 business days to get to you via FedEx Ground, 3-Day, 2-Day or Overnight shipping option. FedEx Ground shipping time varies depending on which state we’re shipping it to.
For example, if you purchase a custom step and repeat banner and have it shipped to Colorado via FedEx Ground, it would take a total of 4 business days (1 day production + 3 days shipping) to get to you from the date of artwork approval.
How will you ship my banners and signs?
We ship all products using FedEx. Due to some restrictions set forth by FedEx, we have taken measures to ensure competitive shipping rates.
All banners over 89" (7'5") on their shortest side will be folded and shipped in a square box. All banners 89" (7'5") and under on their shortest side will be rolled and shipped in standard corrugated boxes.
Do you offer free shipping option? Is there a minimum?
We offer free standard shipping on every order with no minimum purchase required.
Will I be able to track my order?
Shipment tracking is included in every order. You will receive an email with the FedEx tracking number on the day when your order is shipped.
You may also contact us and we’ll provide the order status or shipment status of your order.
