Ordering

You can place your order by calling (512) 357-2261 or emailing it to sales@lonestarbadge.com.  However, please keep the following in mind when doing so:
 
1) Called-in and emailed orders are a manual process and may be subject to a processing fee to cover the labor needed to put the order in the system.
 
2) Online orders are processed faster than manual orders taken over phone or email.  If you'd like your order processed right away, please order online and feel free to contact us if you have any concerns regarding your in-hands needs.
 
Orders placed online by you are always the quickest and most accurate way to proceess your order.  Some e-commerce websites have online ordering, but simply get an e-mail order request form with your order information and then process it manually.  We are a true online business - everything, from our accounting to inventory to order and customer management, is handled strictly online.  Our customer service team enters the order using the same shopping cart and the same website that you would if you placed your order yourself, so you can avoid processing delays and inaccuracies by placing the order online when you're ready.  And we're available by email or live chat if you have any questions along the way.

Yes!  Once you add your name to your badge, you'll be given the opportunity to download and view a proof prior to checkout.  Please be sure everything on your badge looks correct prior to checking out since this is the exact file that we will use to print your order.

No!  You can order as many or as few badges as you would like.

The previews shown on our website are provided as a general representation of our products.  Actual colors may vary slightly on your finished badge from what you see on your screen.  However, spelling of names and titles, placements, logos, etc. will appear as you see on your preview, so please be sure that everything looks correct before submitting your order.

Order Status

Our typical production time for your badges is one business day, which does not include weekends or holidays.  However, that does not include the transit time (or the time it takes your order to arrive by mail or UPS).  The transit time to your destination will depend on the shipping method you select at checkout.  Please be sure to choose the appropriate method that meets your in-hands needs.  Feel free to contact us via live chat if you have any questions about when your order will be shipping and shipping methods.

Any time you need to change or cancel an order, please contact us immediately via live chat, email at sales@lonestarbadge.com, or call (512) 357-2261.  Changes and cancellations will depend on how long it has been since you placed the order.  Typically orders ship out the same day and we're unfortunately unable to cancel them once they've been shipped due to the personalization and the fact that they're no longer in our building.  It may be possible to change or cancel your order if it has not shipped yet, but since the production time is so quick, you will need to request any changes or cancellations asap!

Payments

Currently we accept credit card payments via Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

Returns

Any time you need to change or cancel an order, please contact us immediately via live chat or call (512) 357-2261.  Changes and cancellations will depend on whether your order is for stock products or custom products and how long it has been since you placed the order.  Typically stock orders ship out the same day and we're unfortunately unable to cancel and refund them once they've been shipped.  It may be possible to change or cancel some custom product orders prior to shipping, but cancellation fees or partial payments may apply depending on where the order is in our layout or production stages.  Please contact us as soon as you know you need to cancel or change your order, whether for stock or custom products, so we can minimize the possibility of fees. 

We so not accept returns on any custom-printed items and are unable to issue any refunds.  If you have any questions about this policy, please feel free to contact us.

Shipping and Delivery

We strive for 100% accuracy when shipping orders, but we, unfortunately, do make occasional errors.  It could simply be that we shipped your order in separate boxes and not all of them arrived yet, or it could be that we made an honest mistake, in which case we'll do whatever we need to do to make it right as quickly as possible.  If you have any issues with a shipment you received, please feel free to contact us at sales@lonestarbadge.com so we can make it right.

Please note that damages or lost packages that occur during transit will need to be handled though the shipping carrier.  LoneStar is not responsible for the package once it leaves our building.  You can reach out to the carrier directly on how to handle the next steps in order to investiage the package or to start the claim process.  We're happy to provide you with the tracking number and you can feel free to contact us if there's any other information they need.  Just let us know how we can help!  If you need a replacement badge in the meantime, please order another one and we'll be sure to get it shipped our right away.

We currently use UPS and USPS Mail as our shipping carriers.  The shipping cost for your order is determined by the weight of your order and your ship-to location based on UPS and USPS daily published rates for the shipping method you select.

To get a shipping quote before you order, add all the items you wish to order to your shopping cart, then enter your zip code for a real-time shipping calculator.

Delivery dates and transit times will depend on the production time you selected and the shipping method.  After the production time is complete (typically one business day, not including weekends or holidays), your order will ship according to the shipping method you selected when ordering.  We're located centrally in Texas, so most UPS and USPS standard shipping methods (Ground/First Class Mail) should arrive in about 3-5 days.  If you chose one of the expedited methods, you can expect your order to arrive within the specified time frame (see time frames below).  Please note that if you don't receive your order when expected once shipped, you'll have to reach out to the shipping carrier for further instructions and/or to file a claim.  Any replacement badges will need to be ordered at your expensive for lost, missing, or damaged packages.

 
USPS:
First Class - 1-7 business days (by end of day)
Priority - 2-3 business days (by end of day)
 
UPS:
Ground - 1-7 business days (by end of day)
Three Day Select - 3 business days (by end of day)
Two Day Air - 2 business days (by end of day)

You are certainly welcome to pick up your order, however, we're located in central Texas.  But if you're ever in the area and want to pick up your order, just let us know!
