Frequently Asked Questions About
Award Certificates By Steve

1. What is the minimum number of award certificates I can order?

You can order one certificate or you can order one million award certificates. No minimum number of certificates is required. Just remember, that for every three award certificates you order, you receive an award certificate FREE!

2. You mention getting a free award certificate. How does this work?

All you do is order at least three award certificates of any type in any category. We will send you a complimentary FREE award certificate of your choice in your package. You tell us which one you want and we even hand-letter the calligraphy on your FREE award certificate. It is that easy!

3. What credit cards do you take? Will you accept other payments?

We accept all major credit cards (VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, Diner's Club) and we also accept PayPal. If you are familiar with eBay, you will know about PayPal.

5. How quickly can I receive my award certificates?

Once your order is received through our website, we immediately go to work on getting your award certificates shipped to you. We utilize the United States Postal Service Priority Mail within the United States - so you will receive your beautiful certificates within 2-3 business days of your order. Like I mentioned earlier, orders are processed the day we receive them and sometimes even shipped out that very same day. QUICK AND EASY!! We utilize Priority Mail so that everyone in the continental United States will receive their orders within 2-3 business days after you place them.

6. I have a multi-location organization - can you help me?

Absolutely! We work with many multi-location organizations around the world and are known for getting those award certificates to their local managers/supervisors well within our deadline requirements. Each location has a $5.00 cost of mailing First Class their certificates to them, for those locations within the United States.

7. I see other calligraphy certificates, but they are cheaper. Can you help me understand why yours might be alittle higher in cost?

I am the only Italic calligrapher on the Internet that hand-letters each of the award certificates that you order. Each one is hand-lettered Italic calligraphy. Others are producing award certificates on the PC and the calligraphy is also being produced on the PC. It does take alittle more resources to produce the hand-lettered Italic calligraphy look and we feel that you will agree. Believe me, YOU will be able to tell the difference!!

8. OK, here is my situation, I want to purchase 16 certificates for my cheerleading squad, what is my total cost?

Great! Nothing we can't handle! So, in your example, you want 16 total certificates - that means that means that you will get 4 FREE award certificates and be paying for 12 award certificates. Your final price would be $119.40 for 12 award certificates of your choice and you will receive 4 award certificates FREE of your choice - a value of $39.80! We have created an easy chart for you to see your total savings - here it is - FREE award certificate chart. Also remember that we offer the same beautiful cheerleading award certificates as "blanks" on our website down at the bottom of each page - over 30 separate categories to choose. These are available for only $.99 each and we ship those out immediately upon receiving your order.

Even better yet, we currently are running a website special for your entire cheerleading squad - or even your entire sports team - we will complete award certificates for the entire team for only $99.00! YES! $99.00, plus shipping. Framing would be extra, but we feel that is a great deal for you and your squad/team will definately be proud of these high quality, personalized and customized award certificates that you are providing to them.

9. How long have you been doing the hand-lettered Italic Calligraphy?

Since 1967, when I was seven years old, I enrolled in an Italic calligraphy night class here at the local junior high school. Actually, my mom enrolled me after I expressed interest in it. My first "big" job was graduation certificates for the University of Missouri-St. Louis and the rest is history. I continue to do the quarterly Customer Service award certificates for St. Anthony's Medical Center in St. Louis, Missouri.

10. I would like to order award certificates for both the volleyball team and also cheerleading squads that I am in charge of. Can you help me with a slightly lower unit cost so I can provide each of the girls a personalized award certificate of their own?

Absolutely! Just E-Mail us and let us know the size of each of your teams/squads and we will be glad to quote you a price so you know before you order what it is going to cost you.

11. I am interested in ordering your award certificates for my volleyball and cheerleading squads, but I would like to order them "blank." without the hand-lettered Italic calligraphy. Is this possible?

Absolutely! You can click on the award certificate links at the bottom of each page on the website and select "Blanks" - this will show you the athletic award certificates that we offer. If you are interested in other certificates without the hand-lettered Italic calligraphy, those are available for $.99 each.

12. I work for a non-profit organization - do you offer any discounts for us? We offer the same discount with the FREE award certificates for both for-profit and non-profit organizations. You can just E-Mail us for large quantity discounts.

13. What are the sizes of your award certificates? All of our award certificates are 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches.

14. Why do you require United States Postal Service Priority Mail for award certificates mailed outside of the United States?
