Description of service

The service was the printing of 150 yard signs for my local political campaign. I paid $600 total for the 150 political yard signs and posts. I had to but my own heavy duty staple gun and staples to put the signs together. They came separated - ie: bundles of posts and stacks of the signs. I then had to fold them, crease them hard and stick the post in the middle. Then, I had to staple each side to finish them off. Overall, it probably took about 8 hours of labor to fully assemble the 150 yard signs after I got them. It would have been much more expensive than $600 if I got them already assembled.


Review of Service

I was very pleased with the quality of the signs. Very heavy duty. I live in a windy area, and the signs were able to survive the wind and rain quite impressively. I was also pleased with the relative ease of assembly. Sure, it took time, but there wasn't much brain power involved! The signs were finished very quickly and I was able to pick them up within one week of ordering them, so that was very convienient. And, the name of the game was to save money because I simply didn't have much to work with. So, I was very happy with the price.


Tips

My tip would be to shop around and ask for un-assembled signs. Not worth paying double the price to get them to assemble the political signs for you, when you can get a team of volunteers to do it, and save your money for something else.
