Promo/Coupon Code Rules

Coupon Codes cannot be applied to sale items or combined with any other offers or promotions. 

Many discounts/promotions hold a minimum purchase requirement amount for eligibility.  This amount is the subtotal of the order, calculated before any taxes/shipping fees. This is a fixed dollar amount associated with the code and will not be accepted below the amount. 

Coupon codes are limited to one per customer per purchase and are good for a one time use only per customer and can only be used on full price merchandise. The coupon codes have no cash value and if a return is made, your account will be credited only in the amount that you paid – total amount at checkout less the value of the coupon code. Coupon codes cannot be combined with other promotions. 

Please note: Coupon codes are not retroactive and price adjustments will not be issued to orders placed prior to the start of any promotion.

Out of stock items

Due to the high demand for our products, especially during graduation season, certain items may be temporarily unavailable or on backorder. As our inventory is constantly evolving, the "In Stock" status displayed may not always reflect real-time availability. We strongly recommend placing your order as early as possible to ensure timely fulfillment. In the event that the item(s) you ordered will not be in stock by your required date, our customer care team will collaborate with you. Whether it involves substituting a color, size, or item, or providing a credit/reimbursement, we are committed to assisting you. While we aim to dispatch all stock orders within 72 hours, backordered items may occasionally cause unforeseen delays. If you experience a shipping delay, feel free to reach out to our customer care team for updates on your order.

How do I receive the quantity discount? How is it applied to my order?

The discount is automatically applied to eligible orders. For the quantity discount to be applied, it must be the same product in the same color. 

Please note coupon codes cannot be combined with quantity discount.

How long does it take to receive my diploma cover?

This is an important question and it comes up often. There are two times you need to be aware of and you need to add them together to get an estimate of how long it will take to get your order.
First there is a processing time. All orders with in-stock stoles take 1-4 business days to process your order and ship out. Second there is the shipping time (which is not the same as the processing time). It takes about a week for standard shipping (5-8 business days). You can reduce this time by paying for faster shipping such as 3-4 business days. Just remember the shipping time is in addition to the processing time. You need to add together both the production time and the shipping time to get a time estimate for your order.

* All custom diploma covers take 2-3 weeks to process and produce plus the shipping time.
If you need to receive your order for a specific day, please contact us as soon as possible so we rush your order.

Do you offer any discount for bulk orders?

Yes, we offer great discount for bulk orders. Do not hesitate to call or email us, our customer service will do their best to give you the lowest price possible. We provide quote and free mock-up design.

My school orders with a different company, can I place an order with you?

Yes, you are welcome to place an order with us. However, we don’t guarantee our products will match another company’s products.

I don’t see the color I need. Do you provide any that aren’t listed?

You can email us the color that you need, we will get back to you with a closed match. 

We can color match some products if a bulk order is placed.

What does debossed mean for diploma covers?

Debossing typically refers to the process of creating a raised or indented design on the surface of the cover. This is achieved by using a die (a metal or other hard material) to press the design into the material of the cover, creating a textured and visually appealing result.

In the case of diploma covers, debossing is often used to add a tactile and elegant element to the cover. It can be used to feature the school's emblem, logo, or other decorative elements. The debossed design is usually slightly indented into the material, providing a subtle and sophisticated look and feel to the diploma cover.

How do I know which diploma cover to buy?

We recommend checking with your school which color and size to get or you can measure your diploma as well.

Do you offer customized diplomas?

Yes, we offer customized options for diplomas with a minimum quantity of 100pcs. Please email us with the details and we will provide you a quote and estimated delivery date.

Do you offer blank diploma?

Yes we do. Please check our stock diplomas for Kindergarten through High School.

Can you help me with a mockup of the custom diploma cover I want to order?

Email us the information of what you are looking to order and we can create a mockup for you.

Can I customize one diploma cover?

Placing order

How long does it take to get my order?

This is an important question and it comes up often. There are two times you need to be aware of and you need to add them together to get an estimate of how long it will take to get your order.

First there is a processing time. All orders with in-stock items take 2-4 business days to process your order and ship out. Second there is the shipping time (which is not the same as the processing time). It takes about a week for standard shipping (5-8 business days). You can reduce this time by paying for faster shipping such as 3-4 business days. Just remember the shipping time is in addition to the processing time.  You need to add together both the production time and the shipping time to get a time estimate for your order.

* All custom products take 2-3 weeks to process and produce plus the shipping time.

Do you ship outside the United States?

We will ship to some foreign locations. Such locations generally include Canada, Europe, South America, Japan and a few other locations. You can check if your country is available by simulating placing an order on our website. We can also place the order over the phone if you do not find your country. However because such shipments often involve the peculiarities of the various tariffs trade and import/export laws around the globe we may not be able to ship some orders overseas due to the cost of researching the laws for that location. Also if possible it is always easier for us to ship to a US-based shipping address and you will always save on shipping costs if you can arrange for a US-based address to receive the shipment. At this time due to advice from our bank concerning trends in fraud we reserve all rights to deny or proceed with orders shipping internationally. 

* Graduationdiplomacover.com IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DUTY VAT TAX OR ANY OTHER FEES ASSOCIATED WITH IMPORTING OUR PRODUCTS. We cannot look up the final cost to you as your home country may (and often does) charge a fee at the destination. We cannot look up this information (and it often varies based on international law and code changes). We also cannot accept a rejection of that fee after the shipment leaves our factory and we cannot offer a return for a refund. Your home country will demand that graduationdilomacover.com pay the fee before receiving the returned item and graduationattire.com cannot pay that fee. If you order from overseas you must either pay any import fees and duties your home country charges or else abandon the item or receive no refund.

What methods of payment do you accept?

We accept payment by credit card (VISA Mastercard Discover American Express) Pay Pal money orders or certified checks. * Restrictions may apply on check acceptance.
**Schools may place orders using a PO with prior approval from Graduationdiplomacover.com.

My credit card was rejected by your online ordering system but I know my credit card or check is valid and has enough money to cover this order. Why won't your system accept my credit card?

Most credit card rejections are because your address does not match the address on record with your credit card company. Sometimes it's just a matter of a single digit off a mis-capitalization a dash or something very minor like that. Please try to re-enter your address to match what your credit card company has on file.

You can also give us a call to place the order over the phone.

I tried to make a purchase several times but each time your system rejected the order (probably due to an address issue as explained above) and then my credit card or checking company called and said you had charged me for each transaction!

Actually your credit card security department is seeing the inquiries to your account not actual charges. Sometimes the inquiries appear as charges at first (ghost charges). Don't worry we didn't charge you for all those transactions. In a day or two the bank will remove all those charges on your account after they see no actual money was transferred. If we ever do make a mistake in overcharging you rest assured we will refund your money.

I see on your website "As Low As" pricing. After I place my order I am charged a higher amount. Why?

Graduationdiplomacover.com offers bulk pricing. Which means the more of an item you order the lower the price per item is. Please click the item you are interested in on our site to see the bulk pricing chart for each item.

I need my order by a specific date. What do I do?

We do not 100% guarantee any specific date. You can give us a call or send over an email before purchasing to see if we can try to meet the date. 

Is there a minimum quantity?

There is a minimum quantity for our custom stoles and our custom diploma covers. If there is any variation on the design, 8 of each design must be ordered. 

For our custom diploma covers, we require at least 8 to be ordered. Again, the design of the 8 must be exactly the same and cannot have any variation. 

There is not a minimum for the in-stock products.

Can individuals order through you or does it have to be a school?

We can do both. We are a third-party vendor and we do not keep any information about any specific regalia on file. You will need to obtain that information before ordering with us. 

Please also, keep in mind, that if your school does order through another company, we do not color match.

Do you provide school pages?

Yes, we do. Please email us at hello@graduationdiplomacover.com with products, quantity and delivery date needed. We will get back to you with pricing and a private page for your students to place an order.

Why can’t I add an item to my cart?

In order to add items to your cart, all available options must be selected. For example, you must select no/none for piping on a hood if you don’t want it.

Do you accept purchase orders? How do I get an official quote?

Yes, we accept purchase orders. Please contact us via email with the details of your order, we will get back to you with a quote and w9.

Didn’t receive an order confirmation?

An automatic confirmation email is sent when you place an order. You must provide an email address to receive it. Tracking is sent via email as well. Please be sure to check your spam/junk folder if you have entered an email but did not receive confirmation. You can also reach out via email. If you send an email, please provide the name on the order, or the email used so that we can find your order. We will not be able to find the order with a phone number.
