1. How fast can I receive stock seasonal banners?

Sierra Display has an excellent record of meeting established shipping dates after all details of a particular project are known. Any in-stock banner can ship in 1 week or less after an order is placed. If a stock banner needs to be printed, allow 2 weeks for shipment. Our busiest time of year is September through December when lead times can increase. Please be sure to contact us and plan in advance to avoid any unexpected delays.

3. How fast can banner hardware ship?

Banner Hardware is generally an in-stock item that can be shipped within 3 days of receipt of order. Greater quantities (100 brackets or more) may take longer depending on inventories and time of year. When ordering both banners and hardware at the same time our experience has shown that most customers elect to have banners and hardware arrive on the same date. Please indicate your preference.

8. What type of lights should I use for my Christmas trees?

This will depend on the size of the tree and the amount of power that is available. C9 and C7 lamps work best in mature, large or medium-sized trees respectively. Miniature lights work best in younger, smaller trees and shrubs. C-9 and C-7 lamps require the availability of considerably more power than miniature lights. We stock pre-made 25, 50, and 100 lamp strings and miniature lights 35, 50, and 100 lamp sets for lighting trees and shrubs.
