How to Qualify for Same Day Shipping

  • Order from our Same Day Shipping category only. Products outside the Same Day Shipping category follow our standard production schedule and do not qualify for this service.
  • Same Day Shipping orders are processed Monday through Friday. Orders placed after 2:00 PM Eastern Time on Friday, on weekends or on holidays will begin processing on the next business day.
  • Complete engraving information and usable artwork must be submitted with your order. Missing information or artwork that requires correction may delay your proof and production.
  • Coupon codes and promotional discounts cannot be applied to Same Day Shipping items.

What to Expect After Placing Your Order

Proof Process and Timeline

  • Your order is immediately assigned to a dedicated member of our artwork team during regular business hours.
  • Your custom proof will be emailed to you for review and approval.
  • Proofs must be approved by 3:00 PM Eastern Time for same-business-day shipment, unless your artist provides different instructions.
  • Once your proof is approved, your order enters production and ships that business day.

File Requirements for Same Day Orders

Submit high-quality artwork to help prevent delays

  • Resolution: Submit artwork at 300 DPI or higher whenever possible.
  • Accepted file formats: PNG, PDF, JPG and EPS.
  • Separate files: Upload logos separately from engraving text, name lists or other order instructions.
  • Artwork quality: Low-resolution, blurry or incomplete artwork may delay proof preparation and affect engraving quality.

Required UPS Delivery Options

  • UPS Next Day Air® — Scheduled for delivery on the next business day.

Important Shipping Details

  • UPS transit times are based on the delivery service selected at checkout.
  • Weekends are not normally included as UPS transit days.
  • Saturday delivery may be available in select locations for an additional charge. Please contact us for availability.
  • Once an order has shipped on time, weather disruptions, transportation interruptions and other carrier-related delays are outside the control of Same Day Awards.

Important Shipping Method Requirement: Same Day Shipping orders require an eligible express UPS delivery method. UPS Ground, economy shipping and free shipping are not available with this service.

Large Trophy and Medal Orders

Large trophy, medal and specialty award orders are reviewed individually and may not qualify under the standard Same Day Shipping cutoff times. Please contact our team before ordering so we can confirm availability and recommend the fastest production and delivery option.
