Blueprint shipping and delivery
Every order ships via UPS: weekday orders placed by 12 PM Eastern ship the same day, UPS Ground is free when the print subtotal is $29 or more, and the faster UPS services are flat rates you choose at checkout.
UPS services and prices
One flat price per order for each service. Arrival is the UPS transit after the day the package leaves.
UPS services at checkout
| Service | Price | Arrives after dispatch |
|---|---|---|
| UPS Ground | $13.00 Free when the print subtotal is $29 or more | Typically 1–5 business days, by destination |
| UPS 3 Day Select | $22.00 | Within 3 business days |
| UPS 2nd Day Air | $38.00 | Within 2 business days |
| UPS Next Day Air | $60.00 | Next business day to most US addresses, by end of day |
Shipping is shown before you pay, and it is never included in the sheet price. There is no rush processing fee: a Next Day Air order costs the print price plus $60.00, nothing more.
When your order ships
Dispatch is the day the package leaves with UPS. It depends only on when you place the order, Eastern time.
Dispatch day by order time
| Order placed | Ships |
|---|---|
| Monday to Friday, by 12 PM Eastern | The same day |
| Monday to Friday, after 12 PM Eastern | The next business day |
| Saturday or Sunday | Monday |
Dispatch is not arrival. Add the UPS transit for the service you chose. An order placed Tuesday at 10 AM Eastern with Next Day Air ships Tuesday and arrives Wednesday by end of day to most US addresses. The same order placed Friday at 2 PM ships Monday and arrives Tuesday.
Before anything ships, a print technician reviews your files. If we spot an issue, we contact you before printing. The same-day dispatch page has the full schedule.
How prints are packed
Prints are rolled, placed in a poly bag and packed inside a shipping tube.
Sets arrive rolled, not folded, so there are no creases across the drawings. The folding and rolling guide covers flattening a set and folding it for a binder.
Tracking and delivery
Tracking. The UPS tracking number is emailed to the address you give at checkout as soon as the label is created, so you can follow the package on ups.com.
Addresses. We ship to any UPS-deliverable address in the United States: job sites, site trailers, offices and homes. Enter the full address at checkout, including a suite or unit number. If a job site has no deliverable address yet, ship to the contractor's office. Azul Prints is online only; there is no counter pickup.
If something is wrong. If we print it wrong, we reprint it at no cost. Email info@azulprints.com with your order number and a photo of the problem. We reply by email.
Which service to choose
Work back from the day you need the set in hand.
Deadline and service
| You need the set | Choose |
|---|---|
| Next week or later | UPS Ground, free when the print subtotal is $29 or more |
| Within three business days | UPS 3 Day Select ($22.00) or UPS 2nd Day Air ($38.00) |
| Tomorrow | UPS Next Day Air ($60.00), ordered by 12 PM Eastern on a weekday; arrives by end of day |
| Several sets, no deadline pressure | UPS Ground; a multi-set order usually clears the $29 threshold |
