Q: Can I pick up my order in person?
A: If you are in the area of the location your order is produced, you are welcome to pick up your order in person although in most cases, it does not mean you will be able to get your order faster. The reason is because our will-call is open until 5pm however the production is still going on long after that. If an order is placed before the cut-off time for same day shipping, and you are in the local area, you can get free next day delivery and many orders are produced and shipped out after will-call has closed. Additionally, your order may ship from another location. Its best to check with customer service first if you want to pick up your order the same day.

Questions About Products
Q: Is there a minimum order? Can I order just one yard sign, one sticker or one poster?
A: Some products to have a minimum order quantity however they tend to be low minimums that aren't much more for getting smaller quantities and they usually qualify you free shipping.
[x] Close
Q: Why do signs with more than one imprint color, especially yard signs, cost more than signs with just one color?
A: Every time a color is added, it's like printing the whole order again. So it may seem like a high extra cost to add colors, it is because the labor for printing as well as setup and cleanup materials is doubled with every color added. Many single color designs are very eye-catching and perfectly effective so don't be discouraged from ordering a single color sign if there are budget constraints.

Q: Does the yard sign background color count as an imprint color?
A: The color of the signboard, either white or yellow, does not count as an imprint color however if your background color is printed on the signboard, then it counts as an imprint color.

Q: Do I need a permit for my sign(s)?
A: The best way to find out if your sign needs a permit is to contact your local code enforcement deparment or building and zoning department. They should be able to tell you what is allowed in your area, and if a permit is needed and how much they cost.

Q: What is the best imprint color to use?
A: The best color to choose depends on your goals. If your goal is to have a sign that is the easiest to read from a distance as possible, the darker colors like black, brown, maroon, royal blue or navy blue are good colors. If the goal is to have a sign that really jumps out and catches the eye, colors like red, orange and light blue could be used. Keep in mind, while these colors are more eye-catching, they are harder to read from a distance. For more information on color choices, including what colors are not recommended,

Questions About Pricing & Billing
Q: Can I get a price break for a package of signs if they are not all alike?
A: In some cases, yes. It depends on many variables such as size, quantity of each and how different the designs are. A sales consultant will be able to give you a definitive answer. In other cases, if the different designs won't qualify for the price break, the Design Team is extremely good at combining copy and designs or finding other ways to save you money.

Q: Do you offer price matching or a low price guarantee?
A: If you find one, please let a sales consultant know of a competitor's lower price. While there isn't a price matching guarantee, there's no way to match a price if you don't tell tell your Rocket Signs rep what you've found. Many times in this industry, something may seem like a lower price but the deal is riddled with hidden fees, surprise charges, substandard service and exhorbitant shipping rates. Or worse, it can take them a very long time to complete your order.
