If major quality issues occur, I will reach out for further feedback on your part! WHEN ORDERING A QUOTE: Please leave me your quote and a type of font you are interested in. Such as sans serif, calligraphy, typewriter, western, etc. Then I will work up multiple designs, and email/Etsy messenger them to you for your revisions and approval.

Please visit my business instagram @couriercanvasco ***additional information about Courier Canvas. This small business is ran by a working, stay at home mama of three. I take a set amount of orders each week and fill spots first come, first serve. Canvas batches ship each Friday. PLEASE be aware of processing times when you order your canvas. Each canvas is made by hand from start to finish, in every detail. I do keep some rush order spots available for special occasions or events, these spots are at additional cost. Please be gracious when reviewing my processing times as this small business is used as a tool to help fund a small nonprofit ministry, and not to create a large profiting company. Thank you for your viewing and consideration of my work!
