On-Time Delivery
At Sport Plaques we understand how important it is that your items arrive on time. We are extremely committed to your awards being delivered by the requested delivery date. Delays caused by shipping companies and failure to respond to a proof are exceptions.
Our online ordering system requires you to indicate your “need by date” during the check out procedure. Our products are unique and many factors contribute to the formula that calculates the time and cost of getting the order to you on or before your required due date: size of order, personalization needs, shipping distance from our location to yours. If you need your awards faster than our standard production time, we offer a rush production service which is calculated based on the due date indicated.
Typically orders allowing 10 working days, plus shipping, will not incur extra charges. Please adjust the due date as needed to fit the additional charges that may be applied into your budget.
A staff member will contact you by phone or email on the first business day after receiving your order if there are questions concerning your due date or fulfilling your order by the required due date.
If you have questions or concerns please contact a Customer Service agent waiting to receive your call M-Th 8:00am – 5:00pm & Fri 8:00am – 5:00pm CST at 1-800-248-6243 or by email at orders@sportplaques.com
How to Place an Order
Sport Plaques does not accept phone orders. The reason for this is accuracy; our customers depend too much on us to be accurate with the options and personalization of their products to risk a mistake in translation.

We will also accept e-mail orders sent to orders@sportplaques.com or faxed orders to 715-634-3334. We do accept purchase orders and most major credit cards.
