OFFICE HOURS

TURNAROUNDS
- Printing:
Standard Turnaround: All jobs in by 3 PM EST will be ready by the end of the 3rd business day.  Standard turnaround includes any print order of 50,000 pieces with no finishing options.  Additional turnaround time will be added to all jobs with special finishing options.  These options include (but are not limited to) perforation, scoring, folding, drilling, corner rounding and binding.  Additional finishing options add an additional 2 business days to turnaround time.
- CD/DVD Duplication & Audio Mastering:
Our typical turn time is 3-5 business days on CD projects that have less than 500 pieces and 7-10 business days on orders of 500 or more CDs. Items not listed on the website will be quoted with turn times if requested. CD Replication projects take 13-15 days.

Although we rarely miss production schedules, the duplication, printing and pre-press process involves equipment which is subject to malfunctions and equipment failure.  Additionally, the audio mastering process is an art-form, not an exact science.  We do not use presets to create what you hear on your approved project.  Any changes or corrections will take additional time.  We will always do everything in our power to make sure that any production problems do not delay your job. However, please note that all production and delivery times ARE NOT CONTRACTUAL and no turnaround time can be guaranteed. No verbal or written correspondence by anyone at The Graffiti Print Shop can change that. Please try to plan date sensitive materials with time to spare. The Graffiti Print Shop WILL NOT incur additional cost to meet your deadline even if The Graffiti Print Shop fails to deliver at the stated or anticipated time. For this reason we advise that you do not advertise CD release parties or store release dates until you have your final product in your hands and have thoroughly checked it over and approve it as complete.

The Graffiti Print Shop will always act to make sure that delivery schedules are met. However, unexpected equipment failure, malfunction and or technical problems may delay the printing process. In case of delay caused by technical difficulty, rush charges/fees will be refunded or waived where applicable. However, technical difficulty will not be the grounds for order cancellation.

CD MEDIA AND CUSTOMER SUPPLIED AUDIO
The information in this section is to make the customer aware of certain known issue and technical problems that can arise from certain combinations of CD-R media and CD players. These issues are well documented in the recording and replication industry.

- CD Duplication:
All CDs duplicated by The Graffiti Print Shop are done so using the short run "CD Burning" process onto CD-R media. None of the CDs we duplicate are manufactured using the CD replication or glass master stamper process.

There are known issues with CD-R media in general that can affect the audio playback of some CD-Rs in certain types of CD players. Generally this problem is restricted to older CD players (over 10 years), car CD systems and portable players. However, this problem can occur with any media or player and is typically caused due to the CD reader or players read laser or lasers being unable to read the table of contents or PQ information on the CD-R. This can result in the CD-R not playing at all in the player or audio skipping. This is usually never a problem associated with the actual CD-R but in fact with the laser on the CD player. Older CD players and car systems sometimes have less powerful lasers and can have errors interpreting the coded information on the reflective surface of the disc.

- Your audio:
The Graffiti Print Shop recommends mailing your audio to us on a CD that is playable in a consumer CD player. This helps to ensure that what you send us is exactly what you will receive on your duplicated CDs. Customers that choose to send their audio online in MP3 format may do so at their own risk. The Graffiti Print Shop will not be held responsible for the quality of audio when MP3s are supplied as the audio format for a CD duplication order. The Graffiti Print Shop will not be held responsible for the space between your audio tracks on CDs created from audio supplied in MP3 or any format other than a customer supplied audio CD.  The Graffiti Print Shop will not be held responsible for any noise causing errors that may appear on CDs created from audio supplied in MP3 or any format other than a customer supplied audio CD.

PAYMENT
The Graffiti Print Shop accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover credit cards via PayPal.  PayPal payments are the most secure form of online transaction and your payment is guaranteed as long as you have a previously setup PayPal account.

- Fees and Charges:
The Graffiti Print Shop is not responsible for any charges to its customers such as over-draft fees or insufficient funds fees due to cancelled or declined credit or debit card, money order, or check transactions.  Many of today's banks will authorize transactions and place a temporary hold on your funds even if an order is declined by The Graffiti Print Shop online credit and debit card processing system.  In the event that your order is declined by The Graffiti Print Shop processing system you bank or credit card company may show that they have authorized payment to The Graffiti Print Shop.  However, once our system has declined your order The Graffiti Print Shop is in no way capable of receiving payment for that order.  It is the responsibility of your bank, on their terms, to release your funds back to your bank or credit card account.  Most banks will release funds within 2-3 business days.  Unfortunately some banks have been known to hold temporary authorizations for up to 10 business days.  Upon request The Graffiti Print Shop will assist you in persuading your bank or credit card company to remove the temporary hold.  However, The Graffiti Print Shop does not guarantee that it will be successful in its attempts.

RETURNS / REFUNDS / REVISIONS
Due to the custom nature of all of our products we do not offer refunds once your job has entered production.  This includes orders for graphic design, printing, dog tags, CD duplication and DVD duplication.

If a credit for defective print or CD/DVD media is owed it will be issued in the form of a store credit.  Differences in shipping cost will also be issued as a store credit.  Any cancellation or compensation given to the customer will be refunded in a timely manner. Please allow up to 10 business days for the monies to be credited to your account.

Graphic design orders will be given up to 3 revisions at no additional charge.  The Graffiti Print Shop will not issue a refund or credit for any audio mastering or graphic design orders once production has begun.  We will make every attempt within our 3 revision policy to deliver a product to you that meets your approval.  Once the 3 revisions have been issued we will continue work at a rate of $35 per additional graphic design revision to complete the order.
