2. Conditions on completed laser engraved selections:
QPB Laser Services guarantees to complete every engraving per the customers pre-approved proof and specifications and that each engraving is processed by trained experience personnel using the best methods to produce the best possible results. Our proof approval process ensures that we get every engraving right!
All engraved selections made to order cannot be restocked. Engraved items that are completed to the customers approved proof and specifications will not receive a refund or exchange. Changes or modifications to an order after the order has been completed is not permitted. QPB Laser Services (QPBLS) may require proof of any errors or defects. It is not possible for QPB Laser Services to predict or warranty personal preference for items engraved per the 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 engraving order and to ensure that the content provided to QPBLS is correct when placing the order and submitting the final approval of the proof.

3. All engravable stock items includes the image processing, setup and engraving of one picture and any capable text in the price posted. We do not charge for extra letters / characters or lines of text! So you can add your picture and say what ever you want with your personalized engraving without the complication of detailed per character or per line calculation cost. Some items may include extra engraving options for an additional cost. For collage engravings that involve more than one image processing, there is a $15.00 charge for each additional image to be processed. Digital graphics should be 300 dpi and equal in print size as the engraving. We will look at your picture to determine if meets requirements. If we determine that it does not meet the requirements we will notify you. If the image needs a simple fix we may do it free of charge. If the image will require extensive processing, graphics work starts at $15.00 up depending the time required to accomplish work. We will determine and provide you with the cost of work for approval before work begins.  Click here for details about graphic requirements.

 4. Your privacy is very important to use. We do not sell, trade, or otherwise distribute your personal information for any purpose, ever. When you place an order with QPB Laser Services, you are guaranteed that all information you provide including your name, address, telephone number and credit card number will be secure with us.

QPB Laser Services Website Orders  (Also: view this link "SSL & Customer Information".)
Website orders (on site items) should be made using our online order forms. Our order forms are designed to provide you with every option available and the ease of browsing through each option at your leisure to ensure accuracy. Ordering personalized items requiring such details over the phone will certainly take as much as 4 times longer than ordering using our online order forms. Using the order form ensures you and us that all of your information is exactly correct and is the way you want it. Because of the details required for personalized orders, we do not take orders over the phone and therefore we do not staff for phone orders. We welcome your inquiries, please see our contact information at the top of this page.

Alternative Credit Card Entry Method: (for additional security)
Even though our order forms are sent over SSL 128 bit encrypted connection and the fact that we have never had even one incident with this system, some folks are still nervous about entering their credit card information on an online order form. We truly understand every ones concern on this matter. As an alternative, we offer you the option to use a two part entry method for your card number. This same method is used by banks and government agencies and it is very simple.
1. Complete the entire order form as you normally would with one exception, only enter the first 8 numbers of your card number.
2. Submit the order form when all fields are completed. Once submitted, you should then receive the "Order Success" page for you to review and print your order information.
3. You can then click on the link "ORDER REVISIONS FORM" found at the bottom of the "Order Success" page.
4. In the revision form, enter the last eight digits of your card number and then submit the form.
This fully separates your information into two fully encrypted forms.

Easy online order forms
Laser engraving is a specialty service and every order is different. Due to the fact that different items and materials require different options and processes, we separate them onto their own order form. All hardwood plaques, for example, are on their own order form and Rosewood card boxes are on their own order form, etc.. This greatly reduces confusion of having too many non-applicable options on one form. So, ordering multiple items using different order forms is really easy!

Additional Savings!
Plus, we will treat multiple orders (back to back orders) sent to us by the same customer as one order (unless otherwise instructed). In combining the orders, you may be eligible for additional immediate savings of which will be deducted from your orders total.

~ BACK TO THE MAIN MENU ~

Order Confirmations & Proofs: Good for you and us!
 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 is emailed to you to provide you with a full review of your order, the total cost and a Proof of your engraving layout. This provides you with the ability to confirm that you are satisfied with the terms of their order. Your Order Conformation is sent once your 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 your order until we receive your confirmation approval first. This requires that you reply back with  the option, " I approve this order". Once approved, we will process your order ASAP with charges executed accordingly. Receipt of sale is provided with your order shipment.
 
A "Proof" is a black and white picture of what your engraving will look like. These images are compressed in size for the purpose of emailing. Getting a proof  gives you the complete control of your engraving layout, spelling, punctuation, spacing, etc.. We will make any adjustments you specify and send you another proof for your approval.

 We can not guarantee that all proofs will get out in one day. Heavy order periods and possible interruptions in internet service due to server interruptions can prevent executing proofs on time. We can say that every effort is always made to get every confirmation out within 24 hours of receiving it.

Simple instructions are provided in the confirmation that explains the requirements of confirmation approvals. Being an online business, the entire order process is conducted online via email. We will not call you for compliance. If we do not receive a response after sending the first proof, we will send it again after two days. If we still do not receive a response within two days after second proof  is sent, the order may be cancelled.

Order confirmations and proofs for engraving work are based on the initial details and information provided with an order. Confirmations and proofs take time to process. Expected request for changes include such things as resizing a font or repositioning of artwork. If you choose to make major changes such as submitting different text or picture from the original, you maybe subject to a processing fee ranging from $15.00 to $30.00 based on the details and time it takes to re-process a new image and layout.

Note: The entire Order Confirmation & Proof process may add a couple days to the process before your order can be processed. 
All orders are scheduled into production in the order that we receive proof confirmations approvals
and will not be determined by when orders are placed.

Also, see "Shipping Charges".
*Order Confirmations are required if you are pricing a Special  Request Order or if you choose a Special Shipping option.

NOTICE ABOUT RE-ORDERING POLICY CHANGE: ( 9/07 )
The option allowing return customers not to have to re-enter their billing information when placing additional orders has been removed from our order forms. The option allowed return customers to select the option," I am a return customer using my previous billing information." They would therefore not be required to enter their billing information again on the order form and we would use their previous billing info on file. But, we had a problem with company's employee re-ordering stuff using this option but without the actual card holders permission. It caused us a great deal of grief and as a result, we removed the option. Our new policy is simply that if the individual has the card information when they place an order, we can only assume they have permission to use it. If someone uses a card that is not theirs and without permission of the card holder, the liability is between that individual and the card holder and not with us (QPBLS). This also means that we cannot accept an email or phone call asking us to use previously applied billing information. Doing business online vs. in an actual "brick and mortar store" presents different requirements to protect all parties involved in the transactions. All orders must be done online using our secure SSL order form. All information must be provided with the order via the online order form system.

SSL & Customer Protection:
The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
 - 128 bit encryption is a protocol that transmits your communications over the Internet in an encrypted form. SSL ensures that information is sent only to the server intended. Our server based SSL technology safeguards your credit card information. Your billing information is sent once via SSL to an off-line processor for billing purposes.  We do not share or sale any customers information - ever. Our customer data base is maintained on an dedicated off line system. SSL is provided by GeoTrust / Equifax Secure Global eBusines

Items Mailed to us:
QPB Laser Services is not liable for the condition of any images, artwork or photographs  that are sent to us, returned from us or otherwise lost in the mail or shipping.
Please, do not sent us any "valuable", "irreplaceable" or otherwise "one of a kind images" without prior notification and approval with QPB Laser Services. We suggest that you send us a copy of your image.
If your photo is a one off, we strongly suggest that you get it professionally copied. Send us the copy and you keep the original.
When mailing pictures, be sure to place cardboard or other rigid material around photo to prevent damage to it in transit. You may also want to insure the item.
Photographs that we receive creased or otherwise damaged may be deemed unusable for laser engraving and may require another picture sent. The time for digitally repairing images is not included in our product cost and will be subject to addition charges, if applicable. We may return images sent to us with the completed order.

Conditional Statement on Natural Wood and Marble Products:
Due to the differences in video displays, the color and grain of wood, marble and other products as it appears online may not be true to life. All of our wood products contain real wood. Wood has many characteristics and variations in density, even when cut from the same board. As a result, each item may and mostly will be different from one another. Wood plaques are made from "slats" of wood glued together with opposing grains. This is what gives the plaque the ability to resist warping. Because of this construction, plaques naturally have some grain variations. Wooden jigsaw puzzles and any other wood items that contain multiple pieces will have variations in wood grains, stain and finish retention. All of these conditions are a result of the natural characteristics of wood. Because we have very limited control of these natural characteristics, we cannot make any guarantee that the wood, wood grain or the color will match from one piece to another. All marble products are made of natural stone and may have naturally occurring micro fracture lines and/or grains, white spots and will have a varying range of blackness.


~ BACK TO THE MAIN MENU ~

Pricing and Posted Information:
Pricing and/or options are subject to change without notice. All orders placed before a price change will retain the initial price before it was updated.
Special requested laser engraving that exceeds our standard operating procedures or method of operation maybe subject to an additional charge(s).
There is a minimum product purchase amount of $30.00 for orders with engraving required. (Not including shipping/ handling or gift wrapping.) Orders with no engraving required have no minimum order amount
There is an assigned minimum quantity on orders for engraved wooden nickels.
