Delivery Costs
As we are all painfully aware, the fuel costs associated with product delivery have increased significantly.  We would appreciate your flexibility on delivery dates and consolidating orders when possible.  Your flexibility will allow us to plan our routes more efficiently, without sacrificing service or price.  That said, we will deliver the products you need when you need them!  We will also be enforcing our minimum order requirement of $150 for free delivery.   Hopefully, by working together, we will not have to start charging fuel surcharges as other companies have done recently.  Thanks for your understanding.

Compare LEDs and Neon
Ever wondered what different LEDs (or Neon) look like when compared side by side? NM Sign Supply, Inc. now has a light box for comparing two LED manufacturers/lines and two types/colors of neon tubing.  Although color and output are only one factor (quality, aging issues, maintenance and ease of use are equally important) we think you will find the comparison enlightening. Ask your Sales Rep for a demonstration.
