Return policy on non-custom products from our retail online store: Items which have been drop shipped by contract with a LetterBank subcontractor or fulfillment vendor may accrue additional costs.

Returns are accepted only with a valid Return Authorization (RA) number for items from our warehouses and fulfillment subcontractors with adequate notice when claims are made within five (5) days from receipt of merchandise. Claims five days or longer or opened items may not qualify for return or may qualify for a partial credit.

Return claim form

ALL RETURNS are subject to a 20% inspection, re-boxing and restocking fee. Return policy in no way circumvents the 5-day time limit from date of sale.
Returns should be insured for your protection.
Return packages received damaged will not be credited.
Customer is responsible for initial and return shipping costs.
No credit on broken case fees. Absolutely no returns accepted on custom orders, including orders with custom text, printing, cutting sewing, assembly, painting or graphics. Collect shipments are not accepted.

Shipping costs to customer and return are customer responsibility. Damaged items returned are not credited, so insure your package. Items not returned within seven (7) days are considered sold and final.

NOTE:
We do not accept return packages without a valid RA number, and we do not accept postage-due or C.O.D. packages at any time for any reason.

Completeness of returned product and its suitability for resale is evaluated upon receipt of merchandise. Incomplete or damaged product(s) cannot be credited. Items returned after seven (7) days are prorated for wear, and cannot be resold as new. Regarding suitability of a product: It is buyer's responsibility to do due diligence prior to purchase.

If you are unhappy with your purchase and feel the purchased item was misrepresented, contact LetterBank Customer Service immediately during regular business hours, Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 4 pm (excluding holidays) Pacific time, and we will do whatever we can to make your order correct.

Calls for returns or defects not reported within five days of receipt are subject to replacement for the same item only, prorated for wear and use. For problems not covered here, use this form. We are not liable for deadlines missed when sending replacement products.

Fabrics, blank materials and sign products are sold "as is" and are packaged and shipped to arrive in good condition. LetterBank makes no claims as to the suitability of any product we sell for use as a sign, or in a manner inconsistent with industry standards and practices.

Custom products are not returnable.
We cannot accept returns on custom-cut, painted, assembled, sewn, fabricated or created products (items purchased blank or custom cut, or sold "as is" or sold by the square or linear foot), as these items are not resalable by manufacturer/vendor or LetterBank.

Custom Products Policy.

Custom items are not returnable. items other than "stock" as defined by LetterBank, are considered custom.
Table covers or skirting, or ANY fabric product as example, is custom made from a bolt of fabric when an order is placed, and is custom made to order. All magnetic letters and Velcro banners are custom made.

We may be able to help if you have a problem with the product itself, a sign or sign components.
If the issue is with printing see here. If the issue concerns assembly or fabrication, see here. If deadline, see here.

Contact us within 24 hours to report any problems. Read terms.
Custom products, by their nature, are products and materials which have been altered, modified, cut, amended and assembled or fabricated to your order, and are not returnable.

Imprinting: If the printing is not like the approved proof (if a proof was requested) a committee review of the project (photos and product may be required for review) will compare it to the project artwork and order specifications. Products that are nominally different may fall within acceptable industry standards. A decision to send/repair or replace with a make-good print may be made, or credit relative to the value may be issued by consensus and by sole decision of LetterBank Company. At no time is LetterBank liable for any loss as a result of deadlines, schedules or additional requests made of the Company.


Assembly or fabrication: If the product is not made as ordered (eg., if the dimensions are not accurate within nominal industry tolerances, or not exact if the invoice specifically states "extra payment for exact measurements"), we will review the issue immediately for possible options, including recutting and assembly, trimming or whatever options may be available from the manufacturer. Our only obligation is to replace an incorrectly made product, exclusive of any other claims, unless otherwise specifically written into invoice at an additional charge.

Do NOT return an item without authorization, as you will not be credited (open accounts will still remain financially liable for all accrued expenses).


At no time will LetterBank or its agents become responsible to fulfill the replacement order within the customer's timetable as a result of a manufacturing, assembly, printing, production or any issue not listed herein, as described or implied. Replacement orders or remanufacturing, printing, assembly or remedy, will be performed, once deemed by LetterBank (the distributor or manufacturer) the best course for all concerned, at its own course and cannot be held to a deadline imposed by any party.

We appreciate your position as many of us have found ourselves in a similar position at some time. We will do our best for you.

Order Cancellation Policy

Canceling stock-item orders placed in the previous 5 days (stock items only).
Cancellations for orders of stock items (an item in stock) must be received prior to our shipping a part or all of the order, else a handling and return/restock fee will accrue (See also Terms).

Canceling STOCK ITEM orders placed in the previous 5 days. Stock items may have already shipped (see restocking). Custom items may already be in the assembly, cutting and finishing process. You are liable for all costs incurred up to the point of cancellation, which may be equal to the total amount paid for an item. We will do our best to work with you and the factory involved to work out a resolution which does not penalize our company or the factory for work done in good faith.

Custom sign / print / fabrication cancellation
Canceling any or all of a custom order (as defined by LetterBank) accrues handling, processing, contracting, art department time, if any, and, any and all materials used, and any and all production time used, at any point no less than 25% of the cost of the custom item.

"Cancel form". Specify order number and reason for cancellation request.
If you must cancel an order for a custom item, be aware that you are responsible for all costs associated with your order to the point of cancellation: processing, designing and contracting that are as a result of your order, and charges for which which may have already accrued, including shipping and return shipping.

Rush Order, Rush Shipping or Special Fulfillment,
Shipper Performance

Once an order is placed and shipped, non refundable charges for processing and shipping the order and return shipping charges accrue.
Once the order leaves LetterBank or its contracted agency, the order obligation is fulfilled. Any and all performance-related issues concerning physical delivery or delivery time is an issue between you and the shipping agent.

The customer placing the order is responsible for all costs incurred directly as a result of the order being placed and cancelled. This applies to all orders. Credit card charges or check payments which are refuted or upon which a stop-payment order is placed, constitute fraud, mandating legal action if necessary to recover all costs, which costs are added to the amount due, to recover costs incurred on behalf of the customer order. Cancel by this form only. Specify order number and reason for cancellation request.

Any and all shipping and handling charges related to, or as a direct result of request are not refundable.
Any and all work, accounting costs, contractual obligations and ordered and/or altered materials are due and payable.

Damaged Delivery Product?

Read carefully: IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to immediately advise the delivery agent that your product is or may be damaged. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to indicate "item damaged" or "item not inspected" on the delivery bill of lading or signature tablet, otherwise the courier can claim the item was damaged after delivery and you cannot be reimbursed. That means you now own a non-returnable, damaged product. We don't want that to happen to you, our customer. WE WILL WORK ON YOUR BEHALF, but need your cooperation to claim damages from the carrier, without which you cannot be reimbursed.
Regardless, YOU MUST RETAIN THE DAMAGED BOX OR NOT ACCEPT DELIVERY. There is no exception.
We will replace the damaged product*, but can only do so with your full cooperation. If you have discarded or damaged the original box** a charge for a suitable new container and associated expenses will accrue.

We package our products to ship safely, and all products are carefully inspected prior to shipment to assure a sound, useable product.

Advise us of the incident, so that we may create another product, or have another product created for you. If you have already disposed of the original box, the product is yours, as the shipper will not credit you or us for the item. If the item has been re-shipped or moved from the original delivery address, you own it, as the shipper will refuse to credit for their error in handling and shipping.

* We will replace the damaged product when possible.
When we replace a product, we are initiating a duplicate order with the manufacturer. If the original product (order) is not returned within a set number of days, you will be charged for that item.

**If you have discarded or damaged the original box
Take the product to have it packaged at a suitable location. If the manufacturer does not receive the returned product in good faith within usually 7 days of the date of receipt of the replacement product, they bill us for the products, and we in turn charge you, as authorized in the terms and conditions of sale when the order was placed.

Products damaged five days or greater after delivery date.
We may request to inspect the product for suitability for replacement or repair at your expense. Following sufficient time for review, we may repair or replace the product if possible.

If a replacement product is shipped prior to receipt of returned product, your credit card will show a charge for a duplicate order. Once the original (damaged) item is received and has been inspected, a determination as to reparability for return, a partial credit or other allowance may be credited to your account.
