PREPARING
YOUR ORDER
Follow
these easy steps to order imprinting ("embossing") for your album covers:
 STEP 1 - Order our double-walled
shipping carton below (this step is optional)
We do not require that you use our shipping carton for mailing but we can provide
one if you need a carton. Pack-and-ship stores can also provide suitable shipping
cartons. Ours is a double-walled carton of an appropriate size to accommodate multiple
album cover sets and includes packaging materials for safe shipping.
Your completed albums will be shipped to you a new round-trip carton, sealed
inside a heavy duty plastic shipping bag to preserve a clean shipping carton for
use with your next order.
If you wish to use a different shipping carton, CM Persona box, etc., check
here.
 STEP 2 - Choose your "embossed"
imprinting options
Choose your preferred imprinting options using the order forms on this website. Fill in
the blanks on the corresponding order form for each of your covers. Each cover that
you send to us (e.g. Front, Spine or Back) needs a corresponding imprint form. Fill
out the form online and print two copies, one to include with the cover and one to
keep for your own records.
IMPORTANT:
Send only the covers to be imprinted (no pages, binding straps, hinges or extra covers,
etc.).

 STEP
3 - Complete and print the Order Summary form
Fill in the blanks on the online Order
Summary form.
Print two copies, one to include with the order and one to keep for your own records.
After printing the Summary form, fill out the Payment section by hand to summarize
your order and provide payment information.
STEP 4 - Pack your covers for shipment
 Stack your covers, placing one copy of each
imprint form on top of its corresponding cover and place your Order Summary Form
on top of the stack. Wrap the stack of covers inside a clear plastic bag and use
packaging materials to cushion the covers inside the shipping carton. Seal the carton
with package sealing tape and ship to our service center using this pre-addressed shipping label. Please do not use
staples, paper clips or tape to attach order forms to your covers as they can be
damaging to covers.
STEP 5 - Ship your order
Ship your order to us via the carrier of your choice (US Postal Service, UPS,
FedEx, etc.). We suggest purchasing shipping insurance as necessary to cover the
replacement cost of your cover sets. (UPS and FedEx include insurance for up to $100
value in their base shipping rate.) Once we receive your covers we take full responsibility
for insuring their safe return to you and we guarantee that you will be delighted with the results.
Shipping times for like services are similar from one carrier to another.

TIPS FOR
PACKING AND SHIPPING YOUR ORDER
GOLDSTAMP
SHIPPING CARTON (optional purchase)
You can use any suitable carton to send your covers to us. Our carton is double-walled
to provide greater protection for your album covers. Bubble wrap or other packaging
fill materials are included for additional protection and the carton is shipped to
you inside of a plastic bag to keep the box clean for use on your next order. The
carton is designed to safely ship up to eight 12"x12" or 12"x15"
front or back covers plus spines (or up to 50 spines only).
PRINT THE SHIPPING LABEL
Please print this pre-addressed shipping
label to
affix to your package. Refer to "Packing Tips" below.
SHIPPING
The U.S. Postal Service's Parcel Post is often most economical. Priority mail is
faster, especially when shipping from East or West coasts or Mountain states and
is delivered from most addresses within 3 days. The
UPS Store,
FedEx
Office (formerly
Kinko's), PakMail
or other "pack-and-ship" stores are also convenient and packing service
is an available option. FedEx or UPS automatically insure your package contents up
to $100 value which is often enough for smaller orders but we recommend purchasing
additional insurance if the replacement value of your covers exceeds this amount.
Once completed, your album covers will be returned to you via FedEx Ground or US
Priority mail. View

PACKING AND SHIPPING TIPS
Using a shipping carton: To ship safely, we recommend using a half inch or more
of space filled with packing material around your covers in the box. The objective
is to pad the covers and fill the carton to prevent contents from moving around during
shipment.
Using a shipping envelope: While we suggest using a corrugated carton instead,
some prefer a cardboard or padded shipping envelope for shipping album covers. If
using a shipping envelope, using cardboard or chipboard inside the envelope will
make the envelope more resistant to bending. Postal Service tip: Mark the envelope
"DO NOT BEND".
Recommended: Insure your shipment for replacement value of contents. Goldstamp
accepts responsibility for your covers while in our possession and return shipping
to you.
SPINE
COVERS - IMPORTANT TIP
Never
fold spine covers as folding may cause a crease; Better to ship spine covers slightly
curved or "flat" inside package. |
