Please read through the process on the homepage, and my pricing page. There are no set costs and everything gets quoted. I work on $50.00/hr and my minimum is one hour; if we do more than five mock-up designs I charge a flat fee of $20.00 for my time. I quote based on an hourly estimate, and once quoted, your rate is locked in for 30 days. I calculate the time needed to complete your project based upon size, complexity, and my understanding of how quick I can work, while honoring the budget you wish to stay within and that your project must be of high quality.

In general, there are no returns or refunds. To remedy the anxiety that a statement such as that triggers, I have the EngraveBeast guarantee — please see the full disclosure at the bottom of this page. The work I do is permanent and the services rendered are extremely time consuming. Therefore, art will not be redone free of cost on larger projects. Full outlines of costs associated in guarantee disclosure below.

Buyers responsibility. I am not responsible to assure it is legal in your state, county, city or town. Legally, all of my services are considered “art” and not “intended for road use” — however, if you, as the customer, choose to put it on your car, you assume all responsibility and understand that I am of no liability. It is your responsibility to research your statues prior to purchase. In general, my art does not obstruct visibility, which is generally considered legal. I do not tint or color any pieces requiring visibility as that is generally regarded illegal across the United States; I do not participate in services which are generally regarded as illegal. I am a business within the United States, and cannot speak to laws outside of my country.

I am a one-(wo)man-show! Even though “EngraveBeast” is registered as a business, its quite literally just me here! So I am a low cash flow business and a lot of overhead costs are floated by myself personally; usually the cost of international shipping exceeds my billable rate. Now that isn’t efficient, is it? I may consider a higher rate for international orders, but I personally view that as an equality conflict amongst customers. I am open to discussion on a case-by-case basis should you be interested in paying shipping, which will be quoted.

As much as I wish it was, EngraveBeast is not my full time job! I work 8-5pm Monday through Friday, and all of my time thereafter is dedicated to this. Your initial quote will be done within seven days, then it depends on whether or not we go through creating mockups for you and the shipping transit time. Drafting responses are a week at most. At busy times my turnover time for online-ordered customs is 1-4 weeks, usually less, but if it is on the higher end, I inform you and deeply appreciate flexibility. Timeline significantly varies by complexity of project, the material we are working with, and size. For local projects or large scale projects such as murals — I will work with you, but it is too case-dependant to give a range. For projects that take days at a time such as a mural, working time at your facility will be outside of 8-5pm, M-F. I do not make exceptions on working hours as I can not take time off.

For 1:1 custom projects, my payment portal is powered by Square — It accepts any US-issued and most internationally-issued magstripe or chip cards bearing a Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, or UnionPay International logo — it is also equipped to work with CashApp. I am working hard to offer PayPal in the future. Taxes on 1:1 customs are not factored into your quote — Square automatically registers them within the payment portal per your local rates. For my ready to order items, I utilized Etsy, therefore all payments and shipping logistics are managed by the Etsy platform.
