Shipping & Return Policy

We understand that from time to time you may wish to return a product. Therefore, we have created this return policy to enable our customers to return products in appropriate circumstances. This does not affect your statutory rights.


The standard carriers for all orders that include shipping are UPS freight or UPS ground. You may request different carriers, but you will be charged the difference in price. A request for a different carrier must be specified in the original PO.

All accessorial charges (including but not limited to): lift gate, inside delivery, residential delivery (for LTL shipments), and limited access, are excluded from the standard charges and will be billed separately. Our customer service department will contact you for approval.


Please note: if you did not purchase the product directly from Bi-silque Visual Communication Products you must contact the vendor who invoiced you for the product.

Make sure you take a few minutes to inspect all merchandise when it arrives:
