receive our special e-mail offers. We may occasionally offer special pricing and/or free shipping,
however these discounts will not be honored on orders that have already been placed. Coupon codes are
applied to merchandise total only and may not be combined with Mug Bucks or any other Promo Code.

Instore credits can be used to place an order and can be combined with live promo
codes. You can also redeem your Mug Bucks while applying your Instore credit code to your order.
Promo codes and Mug Bucks cannot be combined.
Why can’t I add a Promo Code when I use my Mug Bucks?
Mug Bucks can be used by themselves or with Instore credits. Mug Bucks cannot be
combined with promo codes. We recommend using the option that provides the greatest discount for your
order.
Can I change or cancel my order after I have placed it?
When we receive an order, our team goes to work on finalizing art, setting up screens
and scheduling equipment. As a result, once an order enters production, we are unable to cancel or make
any changes to your order.
What is the status of my order?
After placing your order, you will receive an email with a designated username and
password. You may use them to log into your account, where you can track the progress of your order. You
can quickly navigate to this page by clicking here.
When will my order arrive?
Sign in to your
account to verify your estimated delivery date. Typically, our orders do arrive by the date provided,
but time requirements for the printing process or failure to provide high quality, camera ready artwork
may cause your order to arrive later than originally estimated. Please select a rush delivery option in
the shopping cart if you require a guaranteed delivery date.
What is Normal/Standard Production Time?
Depending on the size and complexity of your order, the estimated production time
could last anywhere from 6 to 10 business days. Due to varying production times, paying for expedited
shipping does not guarantee you a promised delivery date. We suggest placing your order far in advance
to the day you’d like it delivered.
Can I pay for a rush? What is your guarantee policy?
Rush options are available on select items and print methods at an additional cost.
Please select a rush delivery option in the shopping cart if you require a guaranteed delivery date. If
an order arrives late due to a production delay, we will refund the total delivery fee. By selecting a
rush date you waive any proofing options, and if you require a proof, your guaranteed date may be
delayed dependent upon proof approval.
What carriers do you use and how will my order be delivered?
All package orders will be shipped via FedEx or Motor Freight, depending on the
destination and weight/size of the shipment. We take extra care in packaging your order and make sure it
gets inspected by the carrier before being shipped. If you need to make special delivery arrangements,
please call our sales team before placing your order at 1-800-579-7152.
Do you ship outside of the USA?

apply only to the contiguous USA. Shipping fees will be charged on every order shipping to Alaska,
Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Canada. For orders shipping outside the USA - INCLUDING CANADA – local duties and/or taxes are included. Delivery dates for orders

in delivery. If you require shipping to a different country, we can ship to a freight forwarder of your
choice

How large will you print my logo/design?
Due to finite imprint areas, we reserve the right to resize your design to fit the
allotted space for personalization. However, you may request a specific imprint size, as long as it
doesn’t exceed the maximum imprint area of the item you ordered. Please see the product page details for
imprint area sizes.
Are there limits to what I can print?
We will not accept designs that contain multiple advertisements. If the imprint area
allows it, you may choose to include two small logos. Orders with large amounts of text may cause
production complications or errors in your order. We will not print bar codes or any kind of scan logo
(QR codes).
Can I use copyrighted material?
At DiscountMugs, we love seeing the many wonderful designs going through production.
However, we do require that all copyrighted and trademarked artwork must belong to you, or you have the
owner’s express permission to reproduce it. By ordering with DiscountMugs, you warrant that your design
does not infringe on any rights of any third party. When you submit an order with DiscountMugs, we
maintain the right to modify and vectorize your design for the purpose of fulfilling your order. In
addition, we may utilize your design to personalize your website and email experience by showing you a
preview of your design on a variety of products we offer.
Will Discount Mugs use my logo for promotional or marketing purposes?
Discount Mugs uses in house created logos for web display purposes, samples and
marketing material. Your logo will not be reproduced on printed items without your permission. In the
event that your logo is displayed on our site from a previous order, we can remove the logo immediately.
How do I place a re-order?
Simply call our Sales Team at 1-800-579-7152 and reference your previous order
number. We will take care of the rest.
Do I need to pay the screen fee if I place a re-order?
If you order the exact same product with the exact same artwork and imprint color as
your previous order, a re-order screen fee of $15.00 will be assessed rather than the full $50.00. Any
changes made to the item or the artwork will incur a new setup fee of $50.00. To process a re-order,
simply call our Sales Team at 1-800-579-7152.
Are there limits to what I can print?
- We do not accept designs with multiple advertisements; in some cases we can allow 2
very simple logos on 1 side if the imprint area allows it.
- We do not accept orders with a very large amount of text, wrapping around the items covering most of the item, as these are problematic for production.
- We do not accept orders that require printing a bar scan or any type of scan logo (including QR codes) as this is problematic and could risk the barcode not scanning properly.
- Please feel free to contact our art dept at 1-800-579-7152 ext. 5006. To review your logo/design.

Can I see a physical pre-production sample before I place my bulk order?
You may order a pre-production sample with your own artwork for a $150.00 cost. As
with blank samples half of the amount paid for will be credited towards your next bulk order. Please
contact our sales team at 1-800-579-7152 for more information.
What is your return policy?
The industry standard for customized products dictates a no return and a no refund
policy. However, if an order is not well received due to an error on our part, we will reprint the order
and ship it Ground Service. When an error has been confirmed, (upon following instructions under “Place
a Ticket/Customer Service”) we will make every attempt to promptly reprint the order. We will process
the reprint order exactly as you had originally requested plus any necessary corrections. The product,
logo/artwork or imprint color cannot be changed when processing the reprint unless pre-approved by us.
I have received less pieces than I was expecting. What do I do?
We apologize for any inconvenience this is caused you. If your order didn’t arrive
with the right amount of pieces, please contact our customer service department: 1 800-579-7152.
My Gift Boxes and/or Accessories did not arrive with my order. What do I do?
As an added convenience to our customers, we carry white cardboard gift boxes for
most of the items that we stock. These boxes do not ship out with the order itself; they follow shortly
thereafter. In the event the gift boxes are not received, please place a Customer Service ticket here to report missing Gift Boxes or Accessories, so we can
resolve the issue promptly. Failure to receive the gift boxes will not be grounds for canceling an
entire order. The gift boxes do require some assembly.
