Shipping & Return Questions
How long will it take to receive my order?
This will depend on a number of factors, including the sign(s) types included in your order, the number of signs ordered and the shipping method selected. When your order does ship, you will receive an email that contains a tracking number for easy tracking of your order.
Evacuation signs are one of the factors that could increase the time you receive your order. Lead time will not go into effect until after client approval, and then your maps will go into production, starting with a 15-20 business day lead time. If ordering multiple signs, it's suggested to order Evac signs separately.
UPS shows that my package was deliver, but it didn’t arrive. What happened?
Call our customer service department immediately. We’ll work with UPS to find your order.
How much is shipping?
Your shipping charge will depend on your location, the size of your order, the shipping option chosen, and if applicable, your company’s negotiated contract with Identity Group or your shipping provider.
How can I be sure that my package will arrive safely?
We package each order with copious amounts of padding to ensure that your signs arrive in pristine condition. If your signs arrive broken or damaged, please call our Customer Service team immediately and we’ll work with you to correct the situation.

Notice: Colors and finishes shown are approximate. Refer to swatch books or physical samples when indicated. Copy, Braille, and pictograms shown are, for example, only. The concept may not reflect the final design and manufacturing solution.
Are all of your signs ADA compliant?
Yes, all of our signs are ADA compliant.
What buildings are required to have ADA signs?
All public facilities where the completed application for a building permit or permit extension is filed after Jan. 26, 1992 and the facility will be occupied after Jan. 26, 1993 must comply with all aspects of the law.
Alterations to facilities: Any alterations after January 26, 1992 must comply with the maximum extent feasible to make the facility readily accessible by individuals with disabilities.
Do all signs require raised (tactile) characters and braille?
Short answers: No, not all signs require raised characters and braille.
However, signs that identify a permanent room or space require Grade 2 braille and tactile text. This includes things like restroom signs and any other room identification signs.
Signs that provide general information about a space or area do not require tactile braille and letters. Examples of these types of signs include no smoking signs, directories and temporary signs (posted fewer than seven days).
Surcharge & Handling Fees
Why are there extra fees on my order?
At Identity Group, we strive to be your number one source of world-class signage, décor, and services. We work tirelessly to reduce costs through value engineering, process improvements, and modernization. Today’s extreme inflationary market combined with record material and fuel prices have far exceeded our cost-cutting measures. In the last 12 months, we have seen increases in our primary materials increase from 27.5% to 81.3%, with oil increasing 44% in just the last 2 months. While we have been absorbing much of these costs, it is now necessary we adjust our service rates to compensate.
After a careful review of industry practices and global material indices, we have decided that the best way to handle this matter is to impose a manufacturing surcharge on our products and services. This surcharge will become effective on May 2, 2022, and at the time of this announcement is set at 5-12%.
We will use a calculation based on the monthly retail averages published by the Energy Information Administration of the U. S. Department of Energy (“EIA/DOE”) for fuel. For our other materials, this surcharge will be based on the cost increases passed on by our supplier.
This surcharge allows us to tie material, labor, and freight volatility directly to sign-specific consumption while maintaining stability in all other costs that make up pricing. By enacting this surcharge, your base sign price will remain unchanged and will be administered as a line item on your invoice, separate from your base sign price.
As our customers, you are at the heart of our business, and we want you to know we are doing everything we can to hold prices as close to historic levels as possible.
Thank you for your loyalty to Identity Group and for your understanding during these turbulent times.

Alternative Payment Options: Payment can be made by ACH, Wire Transfer, Overnight Courier, or Standard Mail with no additional fees*. The Total Order Amount includes Products, Services, Packaging & Handling, Shipping Costs, and Taxes.
