About Safety Magnets:
Where are you located, what are your hours, and what's the best way to reach you?
We are physically located in Chandler, AZ but of course, are virtual through our online presence and can ship anywhere in the world. Our normal office hours are 8am - 9pm Pacific time 7 days a week. See Contact Us for the best way to reach us.
Who are your customers?
Safety Magnets customers include Moms and Dads, Aunts and Uncles, new parents, babysitters - you get the picture. Really it's anyone that cares about having easily accessible, life-saving instructions at their finger tips.
And of course businesses and organizations love Safety Magnets as a novel way to promote themselves or as a give-away to their employees. Real estate and insurance agents, caregivers, urgent care centers, fire departments, schools, and others often imprint their logo and use them as an alternative to traditional promotional items like calendars, sports magnets, etc. that just get thrown out every year!
Other than your website, where else can I find Safety Magnets products?
Currently, Safety Magnets are only available through our website; however, if you are interested in being a distributor or carrying them as a retail product, please Contact Us.
Our Products and Custom Products:
Where do you get your magnets?
All our product is made for us by a U.S. Manufacturer.
Where do you get your content for Safety Magnets? Is it Trademarked? How can we use it?
While our content comes from a variety sources in the "public domain", Safety Magnets artwork is indeed Trademarked. This includes our logo, our "Safety Steps That Stick" slogan, and the general "look and feel" of all of our products. We believe we have a very novel product that we have spent a great amount of time perfecting and keeping updated and accurate. For example, we are one of only a few companies that have updated our CPR content based on the latest American Heart Association guidelines. Note that while we do our best to provide the best information, our content is intended as a reminder, not a substitute, for professional medical and safety related direction. Please see our Disclaimer for more information.
We ask that you respect both the legal and ethical rights of our product by not copying it without our consent. Give us a chance instead to make the product that will suit your needs (see Customization guidelines) or possible license it to you.
I'd like my own custom Safety Magnet. Can you do that? And if so, what's the process? What's free and customizable?
Yes, we can and do often. Please go to our Customization guideliines to get more information on what is customizable, what's free, etc..
I only need small quantieis of Safety Magnets (i.e., less than 50). What is the minimum order quantity you can fufill?
For parents and other consumers, we do offer quantities of one or more for some of our Safety Magnet products - primarily for 8.5" X 11" Laminated Boards. You'll see them listed as "Child/Infant CPR - No Pen Loop" or "Adult CPR - No Pen/Pen Loop". We are always evaluating whether we should offer our other products in smaller quantities so let us know if you are interested in seeing other Safety Magnet products in small quantities.
How can I be assured that I'm getting a good deal and that you offer high quality products?
From a pricing perspective, we are very competivie and are constanty checking the marketplace to stay that way. We are full-fledged distributor and thus have access to whole-sale pricing from a number of manufacturers. Keep in mind that our products are unique in many ways: content, highest quality, ability to customize, etc.. Nevertheless, if you find another company that you believe is offering a better price, please let us know and we'll see if we can match or beat it.
From a quality and value perspective, just look at the Testimonials from some of the hundreds of customers that we have served over the few years. They have purchased over 75,000 Safety Magnets! Lastly, remember, as part of your order, all of our custom products will be mocked-up as a proof and need your approval before we go to print - so there is very little risk that you will get something that is not what you want. (See question on Proofs below for more information)
Can I get a sample of your product?
Yes, please see our policy on how to get a sample Safety Magnet.
Tell me what your customization guidelines are and how I can get my own custom Safety Magnet?
The simple answer is that everything can be customized. But what's always included as part of the price, is the ability to add your own logo, picture, and/or contact information (address, phone, URL, etc.). Just make sure that if you provide us a logo or picture, that it is "print quality" - meaning 300 dpi (dots per inch) or higher in a JPEG format. Scanning in a business card or letterhead usually doesn't produce high enough quality. Contact us if you have problems or questions (sometimes we can recreate your logo for a small fee).
If you want to go above and beyond adding your logo, picture, or contact information, there may be a setup fee depending on how much redesign is needed. For example, do you want to change just a couple of words of content or do you want to create something from scratch? To find out what options you have, just Contact Us, and tell us what you have in mind.
Ordering, Shipping, and Return Process:
How long will it take to get my order**?
-
From point of receipt of order to first proof: 1-3 business days

-
From proof approval to ship: normally about 8 business days
-
From ship to arrival at your location: 2-4 business days. We ship from Kansas.
I want you to customize with my logo, picture, or add my contact information. Where do I send it and what resolution does it need to be?
All logos and pictures need to be at least 300 dpi (print quality) before we can use them. When you submit your order, you will have an opportunity to upload these files, contact information or any comments associated with your customization. We will not go to print until you approve of the proof. If you are in doubt as to the quality of your logo or picture, you can send it to us and we will let you know if the quality is high enough. Additionally, for a nominal charge, we may be able to recreate or create from scratch a new logo for you.
What if I need my Safety Magnets sooner?
Most of the time, we can accommodate your need date. Bottomline, please let us know when you need your order and we can let you know if we can meet it. (You'll be asked for a "Need Date" during the Ordering process. Once we commit to a delivery date, we have a very good track record of meeting it!
How do I know what my Safety Magnets will look like? Do you supply proofs or samples?
For all customized product, we will develop a custom proof or mock-up for you and we will not go to print until you approve of the mock-up. We will allow you to make up to 3 changes to your proof. After more than three changes, we may have to charge a nominal amount for extra design time (by far the majority of the time, this is not needed and your proof is included in your quote). We also can send you a sample if interested so you can better judge the look and feel of our product.
What is your payment policy? Do you require a deposit?
For all non-custom products, we normally require payment in full at the the time of order. (Please let us know if there are some circumstances that prohibit you from being able to do this.)
For custom products, we require 50% payment (or a Purchase Order) before we can get started on your proof and then the remaining balance is due once you have approved your proof. Again, we are willing to work with you on this policy if you have extenuating circumstances.
We accept all major credit cards, checks, purchase orders, and Paypal.
What is your return policy?
We do everything we can to ensure that you will be happy with your order including supplying proofs, samples, testimonials, etc.. As such, for custom product, in most cases, we are unable to refund your order unless there is some manufacturing defect or a clear mistake on our end. With over 75,000 Safety Magnets now in the marketplace with hundreds of customers, we have had maybe 2 or 3 customers requesting a return and we were able to resolve.
For non-customized product, we offer a 100% return or exchange policy. If you are not pleased with your order, you may return it to us for a refund, exchange, or replacement when you notify us within 7 days of delivery. The refund amount does not include shipping and handling charges.
How do you ship and what options do I have for an expedite?
For custom product, we normally ship via FedEx Ground. If you need to expedite shipping, you have options to make that choice at the time of order. We can supply a tracking number at time of shiping if needed. For non-custom product, we normally ship USPS First Class with delivery confirmation.
