Why should you pay for priority service when you can sometimes get your poster right away at no extra charge?
We process requests in the order they were received. When business is slow, we are able to provide instant service without compromising our service to other patrons. However, when there is a long queue due to high volume of requests or printer failures, giving priority to your request means delaying someone else's. So in essence, you pay extra in order to jump the queue.
We only charge for priority service during extremely busy times.
If we don't have a long queue we'll have your poster ready as fast as possible without charging extra. To avoid extra back-and-forth that will result in delays, please select priority when you need your poster the same day. We will not charge the priority fee unless we have to, we promise!
Please note that priority service is also contingent on our business hours which are sometimes irregular due to staffing shortages.
Factors that can affect turnaround time:
When one or more of the above factors delays our performance, we will take responsibility and find a way to have your poster ready within the promised timeframe. However, if you make an appointment, say, 2 hours before flying out to a conference, that leaves us no time for a "plan B". This is why we typically advise patrons to leave 2 business days for turnaround time. If you choose not to follow this recommendation, please understand and take responsibility for the risk.
Also, for orders submitted online, please remember that your response rate will affect turnaround time as well as we notify you of any issues and await your confirmation before processing your order.

I submitted after the 12pm deadline but need the poster A.S.A.P. - what do I do?
Unfortunately, in that case the only guarantee we can make is that you will have your poster by 5pm the next day. We will try to accommodate as much as we can, but we can not make promises, so you may want to check out our FAQ for other poster printing facilities around campus.
Please note that priority service is also contingent on your response rate and on our business hours which are sometimes irregular due to staffing shortages.
