Blue and Red are for rush production, which has different fees associated with each level. Be sure to discuss your timeline with the shop when placing your order.


What is a rush fee?

A rush fee is an additional fee charged to prioritize and expedite the production of an order that needs to be completed faster than the normal turnaround time.


Why does AAGS charge a rush fee?

We charge a rush fee because the expedited production process requires additional resources, including overtime wages, priority scheduling, and potentially the acquisition of additional materials. Rush orders can disrupt the normal workflow and require extra attention to ensure that the order is produced to the client's satisfaction within constrained timeframes.


Can you guarantee the delivery date for a rush order?

While we can prioritize and expedite the production of a rush order, we cannot guarantee the delivery date due to factors beyond our control, such as shipping delays or issues with the artwork approval process. However, we will make every effort to meet the agreed-upon delivery date.

We accept credit cards, debit cards, and cash.


What is the return policy for AAGS?
