Frequently Asked Questions
How do I place an order?
In the “Place an Order” (Sign Hotline) tab review the price for each product. From there fill out your information. First name, last name, etc. If you have a transaction coordinator or bookkeeper that pays the invoices, please use their email in the “Email” box. If it is, you who would like to receive the invoice for the install/takedown order please provide you email address. The email that is provided will receive an auto generated invoice based on the products you select. Be careful when selecting auto fill as the address on the order form is where you want the signpost and sign installed. DO NOT ENTER YOUR PERSONAL ADDRESS or our driver will install a post at your primary residence. Our signpost routes are designed and planned based on the signpost installation address. If you have specific instructions on where to install the post, for example you marked the spot with a flag or paint please tell us in the additional notes section. If no additional notes are provided our trained staff will install the post in a location that will attract the most attention.
How do I schedule a takedown?
In the “Schedule a Sign Removal” (Sign Removal – Sign Hotline) tab you will fill out your information just like you did when you placed an order. Your signpost will be removed on the date selected.
What is "Rent a Post"?
Sign Hotline likes to give you the opportunity to save money if you choose to. There are some areas that we either don’t serve or may cost too much to install. Please feel free to utilize our “rent a post” opportunity to save money. Plus some of you like to do your own installs yourself. We offer a “rent a post” option on all listings. When you choose this option we will gather a post for you, fence post, screws, zip ties, and the rest of your order as well. You can pick up your post and materials at 18333 W Stevens Rd Burlington WA.
When will my signpost be installed?
When you place an order there is a section to select when you want your signpost installed. Select the date. Please remember we do not work weekends or major holidays. Our office hours are 8AM-5PM Tuesday-Friday. All install orders placed before 5PM will be installed the following business day if you select that as your date. Any orders placed after 5PM will not be installed the next day but the following business day after that. Please schedule accordingly. Our team leaves the office at 5PM. All orders must be paid upon proof of service. A Stripe invoice will be sent to your email immediately after you place an order.
When will my signpost be taken down?
When you schedule a signpost removal there is a section to select when you want your signpost taken down. Select the date. Please remember we do not work weekends or major holidays. Our office hours are 8AM-5PM Tuesday-Friday. All takedown orders placed before 5PM will be taken down the following business day if you select that as your date. Any orders placed after 5PM will not be taken down the next day but the following business day after that. Please schedule accordingly. Our team leaves the office at 5PM.
Can I change my order once the order is placed?
To change an order there is a “Change Order Request” (Change Order Request – Sign Hotline) tab on the website. You can fill out this form and request a change to an order. OR you can click the link in the auto response email that is sent to you after you place an order. Both links via website and email will allow you to change your order details.
Do I get charged separately for an installation and takedown?
Our prices include installation and takedown price. Therefore, you are charged one time. All prices reflect whether you are renting our post for 1 day or 365 days.
What happens if the post is vandalized, damaged, or stolen while I am renting the post?
All agents are responsible for the post after installation. If the post is vandalized, damaged, or stolen beyond repair then the agent will be responsible for replacing the post. The cost to replace a post is $105.
Do you charge a fee to hold our signs in your facility?
We do not charge to store your sign. This is a FREE service we offer. Plus, it’s more convenient for us to store your sign in our facility, that way we can keep track of your sign and when you place an order, we aren’t trying to get your sign from you and delay any installation.
Can you pick up or drop off my signs to and from my office or printing service?
Yes, we absolutely can pick up your signs from either place. We do charge a $35 trip charge as a pickup and delivery fee. The best way to avoid being charged $35 is to either leave your sign at the property or schedule a time to drop your signs off at our facility. You can leave multiple signs at the property for us to bring back to our facility as well.
What happens if the signpost needs to be fixed or reinstalled?
We do live in Washington State and mother nature can affect the signpost overtime. These signpost installations are designed to be temporary and last 30-90 days. The wind, rain, and snow overtime can affect how stable the signposts stand. Mother nature can cause the posts to lean overtime. We do our best to make sure the signposts are stable, strong, and straight when installed. If the signpost needs to be reinstalled and it was not from poor installation but for other reasons, we do charge a 50% reinstallation fee.
