Lead time for trophies

We recommend that you order your trophies at least four weeks before the delivery date. At this early stage we only need trophy number estimates as most clubs need more time to confirm actual numbers with coaches. For your convenience, the engraving can be left as late as one week before the delivery date. This allows us time to order componentry and arrange artwork for personalized centers.

It is very important to double-check your order before you send it because we may be unable to make changes to an order which is required within one week. If you need to add additional items, you can place a new order for the additional items that you need to order.

We double check every order as part of our guarantee satisfaction policy. For your peace of mind, we suggest you receive the order up to one week before the presentation date, so you can triple check it.

Lead time for awards

Upon receipt of your artwork in an acceptable graphic format, standard production time can take 10 business days. Custom design orders typically take longer. Approximately 1-4 days after we receive your order we will fax (preferred) or mail you a proof of your artwork. We will begin production only after we receive your signed proof approval.

Work required in shorter time frame, that needs to be completed outside normal hours, will incur a rush charge of $70.00 or 15% of job value, whichever is greater.

Shipping information
For you convenience we have an estimated weight on each trophy. Your order's total weight is displayed on the order cart beside a link to our Star Track Express page, Australia Post's assessment calculator and Federal Express assessment calculator. We will send your order with a different freight company if required.
