Yes. Our standard turnaround is 10-15 Business Days. There is a $150 fee for expedited 5 Business Day designing and $225 for 3 Business Days. 1 Business Day designing is a $400 rush fee. These fees are due in full, up front with the delivery of content. This is not to be mistaken with rush shipping/delivery of printed designs. Rush shipping/delivery costs will vary based on printer.

What is Your Refund Policy?

The deposit payment specified in your initial invoice is non-refundable. If a project is cancelled or postponed, all monies paid are retained by Chozen Graphics & Design and if applicable, a fee for all work completed beyond what was already paid for shall be paid by the client.

How Do We Communicate?

We use email as our main means of communication. We like to use the email correspondence as reference when we are able to begin working on a project. This helps us to keep things in order and to keep track of project details and answers to the many questions that we usually have for clients. But you don’t have to worry. We are known to respond right away (usually that day or at least within 24 hours).

We will be communicating with you often during the design process. We will need specific feedback and your approval to continue the work. Responding to our questions in a timely manner will allow your design to progress.

Regular communication is critical to the design of your project and those in line behind you. Failure to communicate with us about the design process for a period of 72 hours (whether expectedly or unexpectedly), will result in your project being placed on hold and moved to the end of our current queue. If the design schedule allows, you may pay an additional 25% of the current cost of the project to reschedule at the top of the waiting list.

Do We Offer Printing?

Absolutely. In addition to working as a designer, we have years of in-house experience managing print production for large and small brands. This has allowed us to develop a network of printers and suppliers for all of your production needs.

Printing does come at an additional cost outside our design fees so please make sure to let us know beforehand if you require printing services.

Proofing is an important step. Whether you have submitted your own artwork or we design it for you, it is YOUR responsibility to check for any errors prior to printing. Please carefully check spelling, phone numbers, fonts, placement and all other details.

What File Types Are Included With My Project?

If you want to use your images for web & social media purposes, we will supply your files in JPEG or PNG format. Print items include JPEG and PDF format. Logos include various formats: PNG (transparent background), TIFF, EPS, AI, and PDF.

If there’s any specific file type you need please let us know and we’ll make sure it is provided.

Late Fees

Client has 10 days to make their final payment once the project is complete or a $100 late fee will be applied for every week that the client is late after that time.
