Answer 6

A rush translation that must be completed within 24 hours of your placing the order will require 20% surcharge. In such a case resources will usually need to be transferred from other jobs to yours. We can determine the exact amount of this fee after you apply for a quote. If we are not able to complete your rush job by the requested deadline, we will let you know in the quote (before we start the job), and we will inform you of the time frame that we can offer.
