US guide

Reading a US printer's total

A US printer's total can change at checkout. Check these four things before you treat a price as final.

Prices are before sales tax

US sales tax depends on the state, and often the city or county, that the order goes to. We can't add it without your address, so every US total here is before sales tax. The printer adds it at checkout.

This is general information about how totals are shown here, not tax advice for your order.

Delivery isn't always shown

Some printers show a delivery charge, or free delivery, next to their prices. Some don't. When delivery isn't shown, we leave it out of the total and mark the price “+ delivery”.

Minimum orders

A printer that charges by length can set a minimum. If your job is shorter, you pay for the minimum. Printers that sell set sheet sizes charge for whole sheets, so a short job still costs a full sheet.

Turnaround is in the printer's words

Turnaround, such as “ships the next business day”, is copied from the printer's page as written. We don't test it against real orders, and it can change at any time. If you have a deadline, check it on the printer's page.

The cheapest rate isn't always the cheapest total

Sheet sizes, delivery and minimum orders can make a printer with a low headline rate cost more for your job. Add your designs to see the real total at every printer.
