That is what happens when you get something that is not standard. They actually do great work with their standard inventory selections, and it is usually installed in less than two weeks. Don't blame them for the delay. If you go to McDonald's and order a 1/4 pounder with ketchup, no onions, no mustard...the same thing happens.

We ordered our post sign from Farris, we did have problems about a month timeframe. But remember many vendors are not receiving their supplies in a timely manner

Any suggestions on vendors for address and name signs for the lamp post in TV, with a timely turnaround? I'm thinking of canceling that order.
Jackie did fine by us. Prettiest sign on the block.

Also, you can't order a custom sign online, you have to call them and talk to someone directly. So it shouldn't matter what the website says about turnaround time, it should only matter what the person on the other end of the phone told you about turnaround time.
I couldn’t have said it better myself!!!

I still have the glass design.
We have a lighted sign by Jackie bought 10 years ago. Still worked but sign needed to be repainted so went back to Jackie’s and they refurbished our sign for about half the cost of a new one. Took about 6 weeks or so. Very happy with our refurbished sign, looks brand new! Highly recommend Signs by Jackie.

Default Martin Signs

They are great and will be much quicker. We've used them for our sign and golf cart.

As in most things that are Florida-specific, web designers don't keep up with the websites of the companies they design websites for. The owner of Jackie's probably wouldn't know how to design a website even if he had the instruction manual. He paid someone to create it for him, and maybe MAYBE remembers to ask the designer to update it every few years.

Most local (non-chain) restaurants around here don't even have websites of their own, you still have to call them on the phone or physically go to the store just to see their menu, or go to Facebook and send a message, and hope that they answer you within the week.

Welcome to Florida, where Google Pay was an afterthought that they finally realized was useful last year, and where you have to pay an extra fee for the privilege of paying your tax bill by credit card.

Sent Signs by Jackie artwork for my custom sign. The graphic artist there then sent me a proof to OK. Sign turned out exactly as planned. And after many years it still looks new.

What's the difference. 3 weeks...3 months. Who cares. You're retired. Relax. Have a drink. Jackies did a great job on our lighted sign.

Custom work takes much longer, try another vendor .
