We do this to ensure your order will be delivered exactly as ordered & you will know exactly how much our order will cost. No surprises!.

Please take the time to check it carefully as we order directly from the order confirmation.

We don’t commence any art until the order confirmation is approved ,so you can be assured we are doing the correct art for the correct  product.
