FAQ

1. How far in advance do I need to book you?

  • At least 6-8 weeks before your event or due date.
  • If you are in a shorter timeline, please let me know & I can check to see if I can accommodate a tighter schedule.

6. Do you offer rentals?

  • Yes! Please email me with your specific signage needs for a more accurate estimate. 

7. I saw something online that I really like, can you replicate it for me? 

  • As an artist, I will not & as a business practitioner I cannot. It is illegal to copy another artists work, a law I am quite thankful for. This also works in your favor, you will be receiving goods that are as original as you. That being said, I am 100% interested in seeing what inspires you.

8. What is your return and exchange policy?

  • If you need to cancel your order for any reason please notify me immediately. Due to the nature of scheduling for these handmade projects, your deposit will be forfeited. I cannot refund this fee due to other projects that were turned down in order to complete yours. If you cancel after the project has been completed you will be responsible for those charges.  Returns are not accepted and I do not offer refunds due to the custom nature of all projects. If your item arrives damaged or if something appears incorrect please contact me.

9. How do I pay & is a retainer (deposit) required?

  • After we have agreed upon the full order, a 50% non-refundable retainer & a signed contract is required to start on your project. Once your order is paid for I will begin work. Please note, if you are paying with a personal check I will begin work once the check has cleared. Your contract will detail the payment information. 

10. Do you offer discounts if I order in large quantities? 

  • I do not offer discounts because of the custom nature of the work. Every piece still has to be individually hand lettered.

11. Once I purchase my goods, do I own the artwork? 

  • No, Hand Lettered By Tiffany retains all copyrights to our work. Clients are not allowed to reproduce the designs in any way or for any purpose.

12. Do you provide surface materials?

  • Yes, but only in chalkboard, clear acrylic, painted acrylic & wood signages in various sizes.

    13. Can I provide my own surface for you to letter on? 

    • Yes, email me all the details & I’ll give you a quote.
