ORDERING
All custom-designed and pre-designed items purchased from stevestoncreative.com (the "Site”), are handmade to order just for you! i.e. we do not carry pre-made, ready-to-ship inventory. As such, below are the respective turnaround options when placing an order with Steveston Creative:
Option 1: Standard order (2-4 week turnaround, including delivery from final approval, outsourced build) This is the default order method when a customer purchases a pre-designed or custom designed order is placed on our Site.
Option 2: Rush order (8-14 business days turnaround, including delivery from final approval, outsourced build). Rush orders are by request only when the customer selects this option on our Site when placing an order and agrees to the associated rush order fee. Rush order availability may vary during peak seasons due to high demand and increased shipping times.
Option 3: In-house order (4-6 week turnaround, including delivery from final approval, in-house build). Unlike our "Standard" and "Rush" order options that are outsourced to our trusted fabrication partners, our in-house orders are made on location at our studio in Victoria, BC, Canada. In-house order are subject to availability depending on our capacity at the time of order and are by written request only via email to info@stevestoncreative.com . In-house orders are also subject to a 10-20% mark-up on the standard cost; this should be taken into consideration when choosing an in-house build.
(Note: fabrication and shipping times may vary during peak seasons, or during unforeseeable events, such as a global pandemic. Steveston Creative is not responsible for delayed shipping once the order has left our studio on time).
At Steveston Creative, we are so committed to getting your custom sign to you on time, that we offer a 100% money back guarantee in the highly unlikely case that your neon sign does not arrive on time for your event! You'll get to keep your sign, too, no questions asked! (Thankfully, we have never had to employ this guarantee since we have never been late, but it's there to show you how much confidence we have in our process!)
If you need your sign quicker than our standard 2-4 week turnaround, we do have the ability to expedite the fabrication and shipping of your sign.
The best way to process a "Rush" order is by contacting us directly at info@stevestoncreative.com with the details of your order and noting that it is a RUSH ORDER in the subject line of your email. Our team will get back to you ASAP and let you know if a rush order is feasible in your requested timeline. The turnaround for our "Rush" order signs is 8-14 business days, including shipping from the date you approve the final design.
IMPORTANT: If you're in a time pinch, please enter your event date at check-out or email us at info@stevestoncreative.com along with your order number. Our team will get back to you and and confirm if your sign can be made and delivered in the requested time. If we don't think the sign can be delivered on time, we will let you know. (Where possible please allow a minimum of 4 weeks from your event date to give us the best chance to get your sign out on time)
Once an order for a custom-designed or pre-designed sign has been placed on our Site, a member of the Steveston Creative team will reach out to you with a final draft of your design for your review and approval before fabrication begins.
Orders can be cancelled up until the point that the final design has been approved by you. Once a final approval has been made, the sign is sent into fabrication right away. As such, an order can no longer be cancelled after the final approval as the materials will have already been cut for the project and fabrication on your sign has begun.
To ensure you get exactly what you are expecting from your custom sign, Steveston Creative will always send a final design for your approval via email before fabrication of your sign gets underway.
If you have designed your own custom sign using our Site and noticed a mistake that needs correcting, please get in touch with us via email at info@stevestoncreative.com within 24 hours of your order being placed. Please include your order number and details of the changes you would like to make in your email. Once you have approved the final design we send over, changes are no longer possible as our signs go straight into production folllowing your final approval.

In the unlikely event that you need to act on the warranty for your sign, Steveston Creative will either fix, replace or refund the product. Steveston Creative reserves the right to select the most appropriate actions to fulfil the warranty.
If you have chosen to have your sign installed and/or hard wired to a building (rather than plugging it into a standard outlet as recommended), Steveston Creative takes no responsibility for any costs incurred due to uninstalling and/or re-installing your sign. If your sign has been hardwired in by an electrician it automatically voids the 36 month warranty noted here.
