not possible for QPB Laser Services to predict or

customers approved proof and specifications. QPBLS
cannot ensure that engraving results will meet the
customers expectations. This especially applies
to engraved
photographs because there are so many factors involved
with
engraving photos. These factors involve a multiple of possible characteristics
that we (QPBLS)
have very little to no control over. The customer assumes full responsibility
for the accuracy of their their submitted information,
to read the associated information pertaining to their

QPB Laser Services Website Orders
(Also: view this link "SSL
& Customer Information".)
All orders should be made using our online order forms. Our order forms are designed to provide every option available and the ease of browsing through each option at leisure
to ensure selection accuracy. Ordering personalized items requires
far too many details to be handled over the phone and would take as much as 4 times longer
to accomplish on the phone than ordering online
using our order forms. Using the order form ensures that
all information provided is exactly correct and is the way
it is intended.
Because of the many details and options required for personalized orders,
we do not take any orders over the phone and therefore we do
not staff for taking phone orders. We welcome inquiries - please see our contact information at the top of this
page.
Order Confirmations & Proofs: ALL Internet orders
that require a proof and
confirmation before we can process the order. This
process is to additionally protect us and our customers. This is a FREE service that we offer our
customers. An Order Confirmation notification is emailed to
customer to provide a full review of order, the total cost
and a Proof image of engraving layout. This provides
customer with the
ability to confirm that they are satisfied with the proof
and terms
of their order.
A
"Proof" is a black and white picture of what the
engraving will look like. The proof approval process gives the
customer complete control of their engraving layout,
spelling, punctuation, spacing, etc..
The Order Conformation is sent
once order is verified by us (usually within one work day.
Monday thru Friday).
All
Order Confirmation & Proof require a response
from the customer before any work will begin! Again, we will not process
any order
until we receive a confirmation approval first.
This requires selecting the
option, " I approve this order" on the online
confirmation page.
Once approved, we will then process order ASAP with charges
executed accordingly. Receipt of sale is provided with order
when shipped.We can not guarantee that all proofs will get
sent out in one day though it is our intent to get every confirmation out within 24 hours of receiving it
during regular business hours.
Simple instructions are provided in the confirmation
email that explains the requirements of confirmation approvals.
Approvals must be done via the email link
provided.
Being an online business, the entire order process is
only conducted online
via email notifications and using our online approval links. We will not call
a customer for compliance. If we do not receive a
response after sending the first proof, we will send it one more time after a
couple of days. If we do not receive any response within two days after second proof
is sent, the order may be cancelled.
Order confirmations and proofs
for engravings are based on the initial details and information provided with
the order. Confirmations and proofs take time to process. When we send
out the first proof for approval, we anticipate
request for changes for such things as resizing a font or maybe repositioning of
the artwork. But if customer decides to make major changes such as submitting different text or
a different picture in place of that originally submitted, they will be
subject to a processing fee ranging from $15.00 to $30.00 based on the
details and time required to
re-process the new image and layout.
Note: The entire Order Confirmation & Proof process
will add a couple days to the process before an order can be processed.
All orders are scheduled
into production in the order that we receive proof confirmations
approvals and not based on when orders are placed.
