Hold Fee ~ All verbal and written confirmations to use the services of
Calligraphy by Nancy are suggested to provide a $30 non-refundable/non-applicable Hold Fee at the time of
your confirmation. This fee is optional, but if submitted, insures the client's appointment and start date of the project
and your project takes priority over those who do not submit this Fee. This fee is not applied towards the cost
of the project. If you cancel your appointment/shipping of materials and
do not re-schedule after
this Fee has been received, this Fee will not be refunded. Calligraphy by Nancy only takes on 1-2 projects per week and schedules most projects at least 2 weeks to one year ahead, so this Fee guarantees availability whenever the client is ready to submit the materials.

Shipping & Delivery: When shipping materials or dropping them off on your appointment, a minimum of 50% deposit or full payment is due at the time of appointment
or enclosed with the shipment of materials. Cash (for only in-person appointments) and Money Orders only are accepted. Rates above or quotes do not include
shipping fees, which are the financial responsibility of the
client, and should be pre-paid.
Any balance due at the time of completion of the project is due prior to return shipping or when picked up at studio. I can accept/return your materials/final project via local messenger service, USPS, Federal Express or UPS.
