Complete Shipping Policy
01 How Fulfillment Works
SparkDeals provides custom printing and personalized products. Orders are fulfilled through a multi-step process designed to ensure that each order is reviewed, produced, inspected, packaged, shipped, and delivered to the address supplied by the customer.
The fulfillment process may include order review, payment verification, artwork or specification review, custom production, quality inspection, packaging, shipment, carrier processing, and final delivery.
The estimated total fulfillment period is approximately 7โ15 business days from receipt of a complete and successfully paid order, depending on production requirements and carrier transit time.
Business days generally do not include weekends or applicable holidays.
02 Order Processing Time
After an order is placed, SparkDeals reviews the order information, payment status, selected products, quantities, artwork, personalization details, specifications, and delivery information.
- Processing begins after payment and all required order information have been received.
- Orders requiring clarification, corrected artwork, missing information, or additional confirmation may require additional processing time.
- Orders placed on weekends or applicable holidays may begin processing on the next business day.
- Processing time is separate from production and carrier transit time.
Processing time does not represent the final delivery date. Production and shipping transit occur after processing is completed.
03 Custom Production & Printing Time
Many SparkDeals products are customized or printed specifically according to the customer's selected design, artwork, product type, size, color, quantity, personalization, or other specifications.
Custom production may include artwork preparation, printing, finishing, assembly, quality inspection, product preparation, and packaging.
- Production begins after the order has been processed and required artwork or specifications have been approved or confirmed.
- Production time may vary depending on product type, quantity, customization, and order complexity.
- Additional time may be required if information supplied by the customer is incomplete or requires clarification.
- Production must generally be completed before an order can be packaged and dispatched.
