The Design and Purchase Process

 This section is here to help you understand the purchase and design process.

At Burnhouse Designs, we take pride in the quality of our work and the customer service we provide. We strive to make our design and payment process as transparent as possible. If you have any questions after reading through the design and payment process, please let us know. 

Bulk Orders: Customers that wish to order or have 10+ pieces customized are eligible for a 5% bulk discount. Bulk shipments are limited to the United States and Canada.

Please allow 5-10 business days for us to make your order. Rush orders can be REQUESTED for an additional fee. 

Custom Orders that exceed 5 hours of shop time may require a 25% deposit.

Step 1: Product Selection

Products that are ordered elsewhere or brought to us:

You will need to include an extra piece or two for testing purposes. These are used to help us achieve the highest quality engraving for your order. You will receive these test pieces back with your order, but these pieces should not be considered part of your order due to testing anomalies. Testing counts as set up time. Testing must occur on the same material that I will be engraving for your order. 

Payment for Blanks: If you wish to order through BHD, payment will be due immediately upon your signed approval of requested work.

Please allow for shipping and engraving time.

Rush orders are available for a 10% fee.

 We will do our very best to meet your deadline. This may be unavailable at certain times of the year. Please inquire about this service.

You will need to submit your design in Vector format.

If you need help doing this, YouTube provides excellent tutorials, or we can take care of it for you for a small fee.

If your submitted vector requires additional work to be usable, we will contact you and lay out some options for you or give advice on how to achieve a higher quality vector file.

• Don't have any design

• Have a low quality, or incompatible design that needs work

We offer custom design services, high quality upscaling, and file conversion for a fee.

We will reach out to you within 3 business days.

We will send documents that you will need to sign and return before work can begin. Those documents should include the design approval form, an invoice for your blank purchase, an invoice for deposit if applicable, a copy of the shop time billing estimate that you will need to sign for us to begin work.

 Payment is not due for shop time until you pick up your order, or it is shipped to you. 

The design approval form will show your design as it will appear on your product, as well as describe location and size. Please read this carefully, as this cannot be changed after approval.

If you are satisfied with the cost estimate, design, delivery date, blank product, and design parameters. You will need to send back a signed copy of theDocuments you received that will include the following:

• A copy of my warranty policy if applicable

• Design Approval Form

• Blank order payment 

• Deposit payment (If applicable)

• Approval of the Shop Time estimate form

Please read over these documents carefully, as this will act as final approval for your order!

 Signing these Documents indicates that you are aware of the specific job details, delivery times and costs. You approve the work that is to be performed on your behalf, and acknowledge that you will need to make your final payment upon receipt of your order.

Payment options:

• Credit Card with a 5% fee + applicable sales tax. (I will send a digital invoice through my website if you choose this method)

• Check + sales tax (made out to Burnhouse Designs and delivered in person)

• (Only for you Nathan!) Cash. No taxes. No fees. Uncle Sam gets the shaft cause we are friends. My preferred payment option.

Explanation of Costs:

I do not charge any extra fees to order blanks through my vendors. My price is your price. Please allow for delivery times and the time it will take to complete your order!

Engraving and setup time

Setup time is typically 10 mins per piece for most products + laser run time

Typical engraving time is 20-60 mins for larger designs and products that require rotary engraving such as trophies with round bases and tumblers that will get more than 20% of its surface engraved.  

A more typical run time is 5 mins to 20 mins for smaller and medium sized designs that do not require a rotary device. Material and design choices can alter these times in some cases. 

This cost is estimated.

The estimate is provided with your design approval documents and you must acknowledge your estimated cost before work begins. Time estimates are usually accurate, and are far more likely to go down than up. 

Final cost will NEVER exceed the estimate by more than 10%. However, It can go down by any amount.

If we complete a job quicker than the estimate, those savings are passed back to you on the final bill!

Shop rate

60$ Per Hour, Half hour minimum.

I keep a detailed record of setup, design, testing and machine time while working on each project.

 I include this in your receipt I provide to you when you pay for your order on pickup. If there are cost adjustments, I will make you aware as soon as possible. 

I will adjust your shop time down if the job runs faster than expected (saving you money).

Estimate cost will NEVER increase by more than 10%, no matter what.

At Burnhouse Designs, we strive to provide the most accurate time estimates possible to ensure our customers know what they can expect to pay at pickup.

 If you have any pricing questions, give me a call before placing your order and I will walk you through the process and explain the different factors that can directly influence engraving time (price). 

Example of variables that can affect time and cost: 

The size of the design affects this significantly, so It will depend on the trophy that you select and the design proof you like the best. 

Setup time - the easier it is to get setup, the less time it will take. (Trophies that have a round or square base that they stand on are the easiest to set up.)

Engraving time - Simply put, Rotary engravings take longer due to how laser rotary devices function. Large designs take longer. Odd shaped objects take longer. Large objects that are difficult to fixure in place take longer. Pretty straight forward. 

Thank you for choosing Burnhouse Designs!

We can't wait to work with you!
