Turnaround Time for Custom Invitations - Absolutely AEB
At Absolutely AEB, we strive to provide quality service and timely delivery for your custom invitations. Here’s an overview of our turnaround times based on the type of order you place:
1. Custom Printed Invitations:
- Order Confirmation: Upon placing your order, you will receive an order confirmation via email within 24 hours.
- Design Proof:
- Within 2-5 business days, you will receive a digital proof of your invitation for your review. This allows you to ensure everything is perfect, with opportunities for revisions.
- Production Time:
- Once the proof is approved, your order will move into production:
- Standard Orders (up to 500 invitations): Approximately 5-7 business days.
- Larger Orders (500-1,000 invitations): Approximately 7-10 business days.
- Shipping Time:
- After production, your invitations will be packaged and shipped. Shipping times will depend on your selected shipping method:
- Standard Shipping: Approximately 3-5 business days.
- Expedited Shipping: Approximately 1-3 business days.
2. Digital Invitations:
- Order Confirmation: Just like printed invitations, expect an order confirmation email within 24 hours.
- Design Turnaround:
- Our digital invitations can be delivered in as little as 5 minutes for simple designs or up to 48 hours for more complex requests. You’ll receive your digital file via email/text for immediate download and use!
3. Rush Orders:
If you need your invitations sooner, we offer a rush processing option for an additional fee:
- Rush Processing: Completes the design and production process in 1-3 business days. Shipping times will remain the same, so please account for this when selecting a rush order.
Summary of Turnaround Times:
| Order Type | Total Time (Order to Delivery)
| Custom Printed Invitations (Standard) | ~ 10-15 business days
| Custom Printed Invitations (Large) | ~ 12-18 business days
| Digital Invitations | ~ 5 minutes to 48 hours
| Rush Orders | ~ 4-8 business days (with rush fee)
Rush Fee Structure:
Rush Fee for Up to 100 Invitations: $15 - $25
This fee covers the additional effort needed to prioritize smaller orders.
Rush Fee for 101-500 Invitations: $25 - $50
Increased complexity and resource allocation for larger batch orders justify a higher fee.
Rush Fee for 501-1,000 Invitations: $50 - $100
For very large orders, a substantial rush fee is appropriate, as it often requires rearranging schedules, potentially adding labor, and sourcing materials more quickly.
