Here at Poly Graphics we craft some awesome fully personalized invitations and we like to get them to you as soon as possible. Most times it takes longer to ship them to you than it does for us to design and print them.

When we ship the invitations we always let our customers know their tracking number so that they can see the progress of their order.

If you want to know when a package shipped by the US Post Office, UPS, or FedEx is going to arrive, each shipper has an online tool.

Let’s look at them.

Before you start make sure that you have the zip codes for both the “from” and the “to” locations for your package.

USPS.com shipping estimator on main page

US Post Office shipping time estimator tool

USPS Post Office Package Shipping Time Tool
Visit http://www.USPS.com
On the left side menu, click “Calculate a price”

Enter zip codes on the USPS postage calculator

Enter to and from zip codes

You’ll be taken to http://postcalc.usps.gov/
Fill in the destination, then the From Zip code and To Zip Code
Select a service. I usually scroll down and pick “Package”
Enter a weight (1lb works)

US Post Office delviery time estimator

US Post Office delivery estimate

Click on a blue bar for any service to see the delivery dates for a package shipped today, or the next day that the post office is open.

UPS location of delivery time and cost estimator

UPS Calculate Time & Cost

UPS Package Shipping Time Tool
Go to http://www.UPS.com
[you might have to select your country if you haven't visited UPS.com in a while]
On the left side look for “Calculate Time & Cost”

calculate the time and cost for a UPS package

UPS enter weight and zip codes

Put in a package weight (1lb is good)
Enter your zip code
Enter the “to” or destination zip code
If shipping to someone’s house, select “residential”. UPS rates are lower for business addresses than for houses.

UPS guaranteed delivery time example

UPS Guaranteed Delivery Time

Look for the “Guaranteed By” date to see when your package will arrive

Get rate and delivery time for FedEx packages

FedEx Get Rates & Transit Times

Federal Express (FedEx) Shipping Time Estimator
Go to http://www.fedex.com
[you may have to select your Country if you haven't visited FedEx recently]
Under the Quick Access Menu on the left, select “Get Rates & Transit Times”

Federal Express FedEx enter sip codes to get rates and delivery times

FedEx enter From and To Zip Codes

Enter your zip code in the “From Zip”
and the destination zip code in “To Zip”
Enter 1lb as the weight
use the drop down menu and select “Drop off at a FedEx location”
and select “Ship to a residence” if the package is going to someone’s house, not a business address.
Next FedEx wants the type of package that you are shipping and the value of the contents of your package. If you don’t know, just put in a guess or 8” x 8” x 8”

Example of a FedEx delivery date and time estimate

Zones
All three shippers break up the United States into 8 zones. The zone that your zip code is in is usually called Zone 1. The location the farthest away from you is Zone 8. UPS makes an exception for Hawaii and Alaska which get special codes (44 and 46).

For example, Poly Graphics is located in zip code 27502 which is in Apex, North Carolina on the east coast of the United States. South Carolina is Zone 8

If you want to see a zone chart for USPS go to http://postcalc.usps.com/ZoneCharts/Default.aspx
UPS will let you download a spreadsheet at http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/shipping/cost/zones/continental_us.html

I believe what The Bible says:
“Since no one knows the future, who can tell someone else what is to come?” Ecc 8:7 and
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Matt 24:35-36

invitation wording sample in spanish

Now you don’t have to struggle to get the right wording on your invitations

When you buy designed-for-you invitations from Poly Graphics you can have almost any wording that you want – you are not restricted to a certain number of lines, you can have changes to the layout of the text, you have many font choices…

You can be as creative as you want.

If you are not feeling creative and want to order as quickly as possible there is a new option available for you.

Sometimes you want it just like the sample and don’t want to have to re-type everything.

Now you don’t have to.

Introducing an easy way to get the sample wording for your invitation instantly. Look for the use wording from sample link just above where it asks for your wording on the order form at PolyGraphics.com

use wording from sample above

When you click, the wording will be gathered from the sample invitation and put in the order form where it asks for your wording.

Then you can easily edit it to make it have your party information.

Review it to make sure it looks good before you move on.

Make sure the right Who, What, When, and Where are in your wording.

This new feature makes ordering invitations easier and faster than ever before.

It saves you typing time.

It helps you make sure that you’ve included all the information that you need on your invitations.

If you are ordering and don’t see the use wording from sample link, there are a few reasons why it is not there:
1) The design is brand new and we haven’t set wording up for it yet (come back soon, it’ll be there)
2) The wording is very short or not complicated
3) We missed a design (please let us know about this)
4) You have javascript turned off for your browser or your browser does not support javascript.

This “get wording” process is brand new – there might be a couple of hiccups. If you are ordering a design and do not see the use wording from sample link, please let us know about it.

Just the other day we received this comment from a happy customer:

“I received my son’s baptism invites today and I
love them! They are true to what I saw on the
website, which is a rarity!  They are perfect and
I cannot wait for our friends and family to see
them.  I will order from you again! Many thanks!”

We love to spoil the people that buy invitations from us. The fact is that – that is what you get from Poly Graphics. It’s built into our culture.

But as I read Kerry’s comment I became a little concerned. Not for us, but for the others that have not delivered for Kerry.

We do what we say we will do with honesty and integrity… and the best quality we can put in.

Have we made mistakes? – sure, we are human. But if we make a mistake we fix it as soon as we can.

Recently we upped our guarantee to “Love It or Return It”

I didn’t consider this stepping out on a limb because of the Love we put into each invitation that we craft for to you.

Hopefully you can see this love when you get your invitations.

Let’s get back to Kerry.

Is it rare these days that you actually get what you pay for?

That what you see when you shop online is not what you get?

That saddens me.

And makes me think that I am naïve.

I haven’t experienced being disappointed with online purchases too much.

Yes, there have been a few times that I have been overpromised and underdelivered.

Which makes me angry.

But in Kerry’s experience this sounds like it is normal.

Which makes me wonder how long the underdelivering places can stay in business.

Poly Graphics is here to serve you. And if you are not happy, we won’t be around long. That is what we believe and what we live by every day.

What about you?

Do you find yourself more and more disappointed with things that you buy online?

Does what you buy not live up to what was promised?

Formal Script Monogram Note Card

Have you ever wanted to dash off a note to a friend or write a quick thank you note and didn’t have any nice note cards around to use?

When an email won’t do, and you need to thank someone or cheer someone up or encourage someone – you need to have some note cards nearby.

Nothing beats monogrammed note cards for this.

There is no better place to get them than Poly Graphics.

- You can choose any color or colors for your monogram.
- There are many designs for you to choose from and for each design you can ask for a single letter monogram, double letter monogram, or triple letter monogram.
- You get a designer who works with you one-on-one to craft samples for you, and ask for your opinion… until it is exactly the way you want it
- If you are not sure which of two designs looks better, ask for samples of both and we will show you how both designs look. Then order your favorite – or order both if you can’t decide.

- You will get them quickly. Your sample for review will be crafted for you within a weekday (24 hours) and when you approve we print and ship by the next weekday.
- If you don’t see a design that you like, ask us to create an entirely new design for you. New designs take a little longer – give us a week. But it is worth the wait. You will have the only cards like it.
- If you want more than a monogram on your cards you can select from a variety of borders
- If you want something printed inside you cards, we can print inside. And you can ask for black or color inside printing.
- If the cards are a gift, ask for a clear gift box. Note cards look awesome in a gift box.
- If you would like us to ship the note cards for you, just ask. We will let you know what they look like and even put a note inside saying that you sent them. Just tell us what you want to say.
- Your are never out of stock – your note card is designed from scratch… we start with heavyweight card stock and print only what you want. What you want is always in stock because we always have high quality paper in stock.
- Your note card is available in folded and flat. You can send the flat version as a post card, or ask us to print your monogram in a corner or centered at the top or bottom.

P.S. A single monogram is one letter – usually your first or last name. A double monogram has two letters, your first and last name, usually. And a three letter monogram has 3 letters. First, middle, and last initials, arranged in order if the font size for each letter is the same, or with your last name larger and in the middle. For Sally Ann Jackson, one letter would be “S” or “J”, two would be “SJ” and three either “SAJ” or “sJa”

A Gigantic Advantage that You Have With Invitations from Poly Graphics

11 Questions To Answer Before Ordering Invitations

Jan 30

you get exactly what you want because we start with a blank card

When looking for invitations that are the most flexible, with the best ability to make changes, you must consider Poly Graphics.

Because when you order from Poly Graphics you get a rare and major advantage:

We start with a blank card.

What does this mean to you?

It means that
All graphics,
All colors,
All wording,
and all the sizes
and placement
of each of these
can be changed.

All you have to do is give us your instructions.

If you like how the sample of the design you’ve picked looks, except, for example, you want the second line red instead of black – just tell us. We’ll change it and you will see that change in the sample we create for you.

That is just one small example of what you can change.

Starting with a blank card gives you another advantage…

We are never out of stock!

All you have to do is direct us – tell us what you’d like and where – and one of our designers will work with you until you are happy.

And the process is very fast – Your first draft will be ready within one weekday.

We’ll send you an email when your order is ready to review, you visit our website where we’ve created a page just for you, and there you get to review and comment on what your designer has done.

If your sample is not what you expected, or if you change your mind about something , just tell us.

The designer that is working with you will be immediately notified and will prepare another sample,

Want another change after you see the second sample?

OK.

Your designer will create samples for you until you are happy

When you say “approved” is when we start printing.

When we print it will be exactly as you see on your sample

And we will print as soon as we can – usually the same day or the next weekday

Since we have professional designers at Poly Graphics, you can also request an entirely new design

If you don’t see what you are looking for in the many thousands of cards on PolyGraphics.com, ask us to create something new for you.
