Frequently Asked Questions
What is your return policy?
I have yet to have a return of a disc. But I will alway try and do right by you. If the disc is unthrown and in the same condition I shipped it, I will offer a refund for the cost of the disc minus shipping. Please be aware that I photograph my discs in a light box, so the colors and visibility is at its best. Some discs, such as clear discs, will appear different when held in different lighting conditions. Please be aware of what you are buying before purchasing. I am always available to answer questions or send additional photos if you are unsure.
How long does shipping usually take?
If you are purchasing one disc, I send it out in a padded envelope with a sticker and a cardboard backing to help protect the disc. I mail these using USPS First Class mail. In the continental U.S., this usually takes 3 to 5 business days to arrive. I do travel a lot for work, so some orders may be delayed a day or two if I am out of town. I will try and post on the homepage if I am planning to be out of town, so you'll be aware when I will be back and available to ship. If you purchase more than three discs, they will ship in a box.
What are the payment options?
I accept all major credit cards and offer PayPal as a checkout option.
Why do some discs cost more than others?
The cost of the discs on the site vary for a lot of reasons. Firstly, I pay full retail for the discs I dye. So some cost more simply because they cost me more. Things like "Tour Series Discs" or "Signature Series" discs cost more to buy. So if my baseline price I sell discs for is usually $44.99 and a tour series disc costs me $5 additional dollars to purchase, then the cost becomes $49.99 when I sell it. There is also cost that gets added for additional things I may do for a disc. Things like glue masking out certain areas, so they won't get dyed. This process takes time and effort, so I have to charge more for it. You also have to factor in the materials I have to buy to do the dyes. Glue, disc beds, dyes, paint brushes, cotton balls, paper towels, gloves and so on. I honestly make very little profit on the sale of my discs. I do it as a passion and hope to grow enough that the little profits will add up over time.
How do you dye your discs?
Most of my discs are what is called "glue bed dyed". Which is where I use an ultimate frisbee with clear glue in it that I put my dye design on and then lay the disc I want dyed face down in the glue. They lay in the glue for 24 hours to soak up the dye. I then clean them and finish them and they go up for sale. I do sometimes use what's called "hot plate dyes", where I use a special vinyl printer to create a design, like my "Ice Axe Tri Fly" or my "V Blades" to put on the face of a disc. This is a tricky process that involves cutting the vinyl in shapes and covering the disc, then putting it basically in a frying pan full of hot dye water until it takes to the disc. Lastly, I am recently trying my hand at doing some "Spin Dyes". Which is basically where I put a disc on a record player and use either paint brushes or q-tips to apply dye directly to the face of a disc in a spinning design.
Can I have you dye my discs?
Sure! If you contact me, we can work out the details. But the basic things you need to know are as follows. White discs absolutely work the best. They also have to be premium plastics. Baseline plastics will not soak up the dye. I can dye other colored discs, but understand that if I put a color like yellow on top of a blue disc, it won't dye yellow. So you have to keep that in mind when choosing what type of design you want done on your disc. The cost of my dyeing your discs is a flat rate of $20 per disc. If you send me 10 or more discs to dye, I will do them for $17 per disc. Plus the cost of shipping. I can also remove stamps on the disc for you for an additional fee of $3 per disc. I also can not reliably dye used discs. I simply can't guarantee the quality of the dye. Please feel free to send me a message if you have some more questions.
