final artwork approval 

Please read before submitting approval...
Our recommendation is to have a sufficient number of men available to unload your sign unless you have a forklift or loading dock available.  Some freight companies make lift-gates available on some routes. They are not available on every route.  If you require one, please make a note in the comment section or ask the freight company's dispatcher when called. The additional cost of a lift-gate is approximately $150.00. Very few of our clients required one. On larger signs such as those larger than 40 square feet, it is good if you can make arrangements to have your sign delivered to an address with a loading dock if possible.

Many of our clients have also slid their sign onto the back of a pickup truck so that their sign could be stored on the property until the time of installation.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR NEW SIGN
FROM CORNERSTONE COMPANIES, LLC
(Please print for your records and share with all members of your sign unloading team)

What happens next?
 
Signs typically go into production within 3 days of receipt of your final artwork approval.  Production time varies but it usually requires 30 to 45 days depending upon the time of year, holiday schedules and workloads.  If you have a date that you have to have your sign by please call us and notify us immediately. 
 
 
When the sign is completed, crated and ready for shipping, you will be contacted to give you shipping information ( BOL, closest shipping terminal, dispatch phone number ) and an estimated arrival date.  Freight companies charge an additional fee if the shipping address changes, so it is important for us to have accurate information to give to the freight company.
   
After your sign is in transit, the freight company's dispatcher should contact you to coordinate a more specific delivery time.   When the dispatcher calls, you may choose to inquire about the availability and cost of a gate-lift if you have not already made a request.
 
Prepare for arrival of your sign
 
When your sign arrives:  Inspect your sign for damages before you sign for it.  Look for dents, scratches, cracks and chipped paint. While damages are rare, they can occur.
Inspect your sign while it is still in the truck.  Take a flashlight with you onto the truck if necessary and carefully look over the sign. If you do not see any damages, then you should sign for your sign and unload it.
 
Your sign has been crated to protect it from being damaged during shipment. 
 
Do NOT let a truck driver intimidate you or prevent you from checking your sign for damages.  If you are uncomfortable with this process, please call for assistance.
 
What to do if your sign has damages:
  • Show the damages to the truck driver.
  • Describe the damages on the bill of lading
  • Take a picture of the damages. You will need to have a camera on-hand. Truck drivers should not be asked to wait while someone goes for a camera. They usually will not.
  • Call us and describe the extent of the damages.
The extent of the damage to your your sign will dictate that your sign be accepted or rejected.
 
Small scratches – You may choose to accept the shipment and touch up the scratches. Touch up paint is shipped with every sign.
 
Dented pole covers or trim – Some parts such as pole covers and decorative trims can be immediately shipped to you for replacing.
 
Major damage to cabinet or sign face – Refuse receipt of your sign.  The freight company will return the sign and your sign will be either repaired immediately or a new sign shipped immediately.
 
Important Reminder
Your sign was loaded onto the freight company's truck with absolutely no damages.  It was signed for by the freight company as being in perfect condition.  If your sign was accidently damaged in shipment, the freight company is liable for paying for any and all repairs as well as freight costs back to the plant and back to you. Freight company do NOT accept liability if you sign that your sign is undamaged unless damages are concealed.  If you discover concealed damages after uncrating your sign, take photographs and contact us immediately.
