Terms and Conditions

Placing Orders

Order Acceptance Policy

Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. Frederick Engraving reserves the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order for any reason or to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item.

Backorders

If you see a lower estimated inventory than the quantity you need to order, please get in touch with a product specialist who can help you find a similar product or create a backorder for you. Backorders add anywhere from one day to four weeks of procurement time. We restock regularly, so if something is not in stock today it might be tomorrow, and we can let you know exactly when.

Orders with deadlines

When preparing an order with a deadline within two weeks, we strongly recommend that you contact us to confirm inventory information.

Artwork Submission

While we can work with whatever artwork you have (even if it's a GIF, photocopy, or a doodle you drew on the palm of your hand), we require your artwork to be submitted in an imprint ready format if you want to waive artwork charges and take advantage of our industry-leading turnaround times.

Proofs are typically completed within 24 hours (or sooner if rush service has been arranged). Imprint ready artwork comes in EPS, CDR, AI, or PDF vector format. JPG and PNG files are considered imprint ready as long as the resolution is at least 300dpi at 100% size. For mono-color techniques like laser engraving, deep etching, etc., we require your artwork to be in black and white to be considered imprint ready. Grayscale does not substitute for black and white.

Engraved Artwork

All engraved and deep etched glassware orders include up to 3" x 3" imprint size at no charge. It is possible to exceed this imprint area (up to full wrap for select products), but you will incur additional charges. We will size your imprint according to what will work best for the product since in many cases the size of the glass cannot actually support a 3" x 3" imprint. This is especially true for smaller pieces or pieces with excessive curves, beer mugs with panels, etc. If you receive a proof showing an imprint that you believe is too small please let us know and we will maximize size of the imprint as much as possible. Please note that 3" x 3" is listed for all glassware products solely because we offer wrap-around engraving, not because it is the recommended imprint size.

Artwork Charges

Artwork is free of charge, but:

• You may incur charges if you need us to revise your proof more than twice. We do not count any errors that are solely our responsibility towards your revision count.
• Your artwork is not imprint-ready (see above "artwork submission" section) and it would take us a lot of time to make it imprint-ready.
• You will incur artwork charges if our art department provides you with a mockup or proof and we do not receive a purchase order from you.

Shipping

Ship on your account or ours. We can ship via FedEx, UPS, or USPS. Ship blind or to multiple addresses*.

Rates are calculated by service level (Ground, 2-Day, Overnight, etc.), weight, and will be presented to you with your quote. There is currently no way to estimate shipping charges on our website. We ship all orders from California.

*one shipping address - for more than one shipping addresses, we must charge $5.00 per additional address.

Packaging

Bulk packaging is included in the product price. Glassware is packaged in bulk with bubble wrap and dividers at no additional cost, resulting in a very low rate of breakage compared to other suppliers of glassware in the industry (usually under 1.5%). For glassware orders, we recommend allowing for a 2% over/under.

Gift box and individual packaging is available for most products. Please speak with a product specialist for more details..

Samples

To examine the quality of our products, you are welcome to order a sample. Most blank and random samples are free, and will ship via your shipping account number. All pre-production and post-production samples are available at single item price EQP. If samples are needed, please specify quantities and whether they are needed pre-production for approval or if they are needed post-production for records or both.

Receiving Orders

Multiple Product Orders

For multiple product orders, we will make every attempt to ship all items contained in that order at the same time. Products that are unavailable at the time of shipping will be shipped as they become available, unless you inform us otherwise. You will only be charged for products contained in a given shipment, plus any applicable shipping charges. You will only be charged for shipping at the rate quoted to you on your purchase receipt. The entirety of this shipping charge will be applied to the first product(s) shipped on a multiple shipment order.

Out-of-Stock- Products

We will ship your product as it becomes available. Usually, products ship by the next business day. However, there may be times when the product you have ordered is out-of-stock, which will delay fulfilling your order. We will keep you informed of any products that you have ordered that are out-of-stock and unavailable for immediate shipment. You may cancel your order at any time prior to shipping.

Returns & Refunds

We will gladly accept the return of products that are defective due to defects in manufacturing and/or workmanship. Fulfillment mistakes that may be made which result in the shipment of incorrect products to you will also be accepted for return.

While we strive to fulfill exact quantities - they are not guaranteed. Please allow for a 2% over/under on all orders. If an item is damaged in shipping, please send a photo of the item and its packaging within 7 days of delivery and we will issue a refund for the cost of the item.

Liquid Measurements

Beverageware and glassware capacities are stated in ounces and are an approximate maximum capacity based off of an industry standard size. They are not to be used as a standard of measure for serving capacity.

Typographical Errors

In the event a product is listed at an incorrect price due to typographical error or error in pricing information received from our suppliers, Frederick Engraving shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for products listed at the incorrect price. Frederick Engraving shall also have the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is canceled, Frederick Engraving will issue a refund to your card in the amount of the incorrect price.
