Autograph Signings
How it all works
SEND-IN INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these steps to ensure your item is safely received, signed and returned:
Step 1: Place an Order
Select the signing event you’re interested in and place an order for your desired autograph and/or add-ons.
Step 2: Prepare Your Item
Labelling:
Use masking tape or a Post-It Note, as these are gentler on your item.
Attach a note to the back of your item with your full name, Pioneer Signings Order Number and chosen pen colour.
Autograph:
If you’d like the autograph in a specific location, attach a note with arrows pointing to the preferred spot. For items with multiple signatures, included clear instructions for each autograph placement on separate notes.
Autograph Add-Ons:
If you’ve purchased any add-ons such as Dedication/Personalisation, Character Name or Quote; please attach these to the item indicating your selection. Only include add-ons that you’ve paid for. Every send in item is processed and reviewed prior to signing.
SWAU Authentication:
If you’ve opted for SWAU Authentication, indicate your preferred placement of the sticker.
Step 3: Package and Send
Shipping Deadline:
Ensure your item arrives with us before the specified deadline. Items received after the deadline may unfortunately not be processed. In this instance, we would issue a refund the order amount excluding shipping costs. Deadlines may extend based on the talent’s schedule.
Packaging:
Securely package your labelled items to ensure it is well-protected during transit. Please do not send any loose items such as Funko figures and internal packaging, CD/DVD cases or disks, records or other items that are not needed for the signing. Full size posters are accepted but should be sent in a tube no longer than 90cm to assist with transportation to the signing.
Tracking:
You are responsible for tracking your shipment. Always use a tracking number.
Insurance:
We recommend insuring your item to its full value. We shall contact you if we receive a package that looks damaged or compromised. We will endeavour to obtain photo evidence of the packaging and item in which to assist you with any insurance claims.
Send your items to our shipping address:
Pioneer Signings
5 Churchill Road
