ORDER CANCELLATION
PCO will be happy to help you cancel your order prior to printing/shipping.  However, if your ordered item is en route or already delivered, we are unable to cancel your order.  However, orders may be eligible for cancellation upon written request via email, certified mail or facsimile.  Our Customer Service Team will inform you of any cancellation charges depending on the stage of the order.  Here is a brief overview of the stages of an order within our system:

• Orders are placed online and verified with an email confirmation. (Orders may be cancelled and you will only be charged $39.95)
• Orders are sent to our prepress department for electronic publishing processing. (25% of balance due)
• Orders are plated and ready for press. (50% of balance due)
• Orders are printed and finished. (100% of balance due)
• Orders are picked up by the shipping firm and shipped.

All orders are cancelable between stages 1 and 2.  If an order is cancelled in stage 1, PCO will retain the original $39.95 billed to cover payment processing, bank charges and handling fees.  But, if the order is cancelled in stage 2, 25% of the total order amount is deducted as cancellation fees to cover our prepress department expenses.  After an order enters stage 3, we can still try to cancel the order but we cannot guarantee the success.  However, if the order is still in stage 3, and the user wants to have it cancelled, 50% of the total order amount is deducted to cover expenses, Once an order reaches stage 4 or 5, that order cannot be cancelled.

RETURNS AND REFUNDS
Since each order is unique to customer and has no re-sale value, ALL SALES ARE FINAL.  If we verify that we made an error, we will re-print the order.  No Refunds or Credit will be processed.

Re-Prints
Customer must notify PCO within 15 business days of order acceptance to notify any defects discovered in the ordered product.  In order to receive replacement Customer must return 99% of the received product within 30 days (at their own expense) from the time when the ordered product delivery was taken.

We also assume no responsibility for delays caused by delivery carriers or any damages resulting from the failure to receive a job on time. Our expected delivery date is not guaranteed, although we rarely miss a due date. An order may arrive late due to unforeseen delays in delivery service, the breakdown of equipment, strikes, illnesses, etc.

PCO will always act to make sure that delivery schedules are met. However, unexpected equipment failure, malfunction and or technical problems may delay the printing process. In case of delay caused by technical difficulty, rush charges/fees will be refunded or waived where applicable. However, technical difficulty will not be the grounds for order cancellation.

Proofs of delivery signatures are not required unless requested at the time of order.

PCO reserves the right to alternate carriers as it deems necessary.

SHIPPING ERRORS & LOST PACKAGES
Lost or damaged claims can only be filed for shipments over $50.00 in value and can only be done after 30 days from package shipment.  PCO is not responsible for 3rd party shipping errors, omissions or damaged shipments.
