Free UPS Ground Shipping Offer

Offer applies to orders over $200 placed online, with delivery to an address within the 48 contiguous United States. Free UPS Ground Shipping Offer does not include Saturday or Sunday as transit or delivery times. Must exceed $200 before shipping, taxes, fees, or levies are applied to an order for qualification. Offer not applicable for accounts that ship on their own Freight Collect account.

Orders that have individual line items cancelled, which drops the total cost below $200, will be subject to the appropriate shipping costs being applied to that order.

Unfortunately we can not accommodate switching back and forth between shipping on your Freight Collect Account and shipping on the FM Expressions account.

Turnaround times are based on business-days and do not include weekends or observed holidays. These times also assume that submitted artwork does not have quality issues or concerns.

Our Daily Cutoff Time is 3PM ET Monday-Friday
