Turnaround time does not begin until payment has been received and final artwork is approved.

Cut-off time for order submissions via payment is 9:30am. Anything after that time will be pushed to the next business day. For example, if an item has a 3 business day turnaround time and you make a payment at 10am on a Monday to start your order, your order will be ready on Friday.
