HOW
DO I BEGIN MY ORDER?
Hana
Hou Productions is a one person studio, and so
Melissa's time can book quickly,
especially during January through June,
so please ensure your order is placed
early [it is best to place your order at least
three months before your "in-hands" date].
Below, is a basic flow to walk
you through the ordering
process
(in some instances it may vary). If you
would like to place an order for a custom creation
/ request, kindly email Melissa first,
as it may be easier to just email you an invoice
via PayPal. Should you have any questions, you
are welcome to contact
Melissa at 630.978.1490, Monday through Friday, from
10AM until 8PM CST.
|
| PLEASE
NOTE:: Melissa
cannot process your credit card information over the
phone. She only accepts payment via PayPal.com,
which accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover,
and e-checks. For more information, please visit their website OR
for assistance with a payment, please call PayPal's toll
free number at 1.888.221.1161. Should you not wish to
use PayPal, a [money order] or [certified bank check]
will be accepted, made payable to: Melissa Casey. |

order your item(s), click on the "add
to cart" button which will route
you to the PayPal.com shopping cart window. You
may minimize the PayPal.com window at
any time and continue shopping. The
top of any Hana Hou Productions
web page

Once
you have set up an account with PayPal.com (if
you do not already have one prior to
ordering with Hana Hou Productions),
and your payment has been processed,
PayPal.com
will re-direct
you to the Hana Hou Productions website
where you will fill out the Order
Form with your paper, wording and
font selections.
Alternatively, you may also fill out the Order Form at
a later time should you still need time to gather all of your information. When
completing the form, kindly make sure your wording is finalized. |

PROOFS: If
you are placing an invitation
order for a design currently offered,
proofs are ready within 24-48 hours
of receiving
your
payment

to you as a PDF file for review.
COURTSEY: If you
can not make a decision between two
accent fonts, Melissa will
eMail you
the invitation proof
first for the decision making.
Once you decide
on your font,
the remaining proofs will be worked on and generated for approval. |

REVIEW: Please
take the time to review each of your
proofs carefully!! Melissa cannot
stress enough the importance of this
step! Should you require any changes
after
the FIRST
set of proofs are sent, Melissa will
then work on your SECOND set of proofs
and re-send them to you for approval.
One set of revisions is allowed FREE
of charge. Additional revisions will
incur additional fees based upon the
time it takes for creation and approval. |

APPROVAL: Please
note that in order to send your order
to press, Melissa will need your approval
via eMail. Upon approval of
your proofs, your order is sent off
to the print shop the following business
day and considered "in production".
At that time Melissa will inform you
of the estimated ship date once she
confers with the printer.
(A) January through June allow 4-8 weeks.
(B) July through December allow 4-6 weeks.
Processing times can be and often are shorter than what is stated above, but
shorter times cannot be guaranteed. Kindly plan in advance, as the PEAK ordering
time is January through June.
Changes
AFTER approval WILL incur additional

depending
upon
how
far along the
job is at the print shop. |
