If you have received another item instead of one you purchased, please contact our customer service dept at orders@pensxpress.com and explain the situation.

We use UPS for all our shipping needs. What happens is once an order is placed, we see the order on our system. If there are no billing/shipping discrepancies, the order is sent to the production department to be printed. Once printed, the package is weighed and labeled and is then ready to be picked up by UPS. Then once the final pickup is made, the tracking numbers are emailed to all the customers at approximately 8-10PM EST. What do I do if my order was shipped at a shipping rate slower than I paid for? If there is a shipping error and the shipment is shipped out at a slower rate than originally paid for, we will refund the difference in shipping back to the customer.

If your tracking number has a status of "Exception", then there was a problem with the delivery. You can click "Details" in the tracking website, there will be a brief explanation as to why there was an exception. If you have any questions, please call our offices to resolve the issue.

Tracking numbers are emailed to the provided email addresses of all orders that shipped that business day at approximately 4-6PM EST.
