Delivery
We will use our best endeavours to dispatch all orders within the turnaround time specified on our website. However these timings should be treated as estimates and not a guarantee of supply unless specified in writing to you as a guaranteed time.. As the purchaser you must accept the actual delivery date and we shall not be liable for any losses, costs, damages or expenses suffered by you the purchaser or any other party as a result of any delay in delivery. Especially in cases where third parties i.e. subcontractors or carriers are involved. Neither will any such failure to meet a delivery date constitute a breach of contract on our part.
Special deliveries via alternative carriers and or Saturday deliveries can normally be arranged but will usually be subject to an additional charge.
Accepting Delivery by Carrier- Please ensure before signing for your plastic cards that you check them for any damages. Should you sign for the goods as undamaged then realise they have been damaged in transit you will have waived your rights to claim for replacement.
Variations
We print using standard weight inks and as such minor colour variation may occur beyond our control and as such will have no liability for. On various products we are able to offer a Pantone matching service for an additional cost. If you would like more details please Contact us.
The colours viewed on your computer screen are only an indication of the final print result. If you have not signed off on a colour proof or supplied copy for us to match the colours then the print job will run to standard ink weights/colours and we will accept NO liability for any colour discrepancies, other than pantone usages.
Re-print orders may show a slight difference from the first or previous print as colour variations are not avoidable, unless pantone colours have been used. Should you require an exact match to a previous order then we would require an original hard copy of the previous order to match against.

We request that any claims shall be made to us in writing within 2 working days of receipt of goods or such goods shall be deemed to comply as to quality and quantity within the terms of the contract.
