How do I get blueprints printed and shipped to a job site?
Upload the PDF at ecblueprints.com/order/, choose the sheet size and copies, and enter the job-site address (and the super's phone) at checkout. Sets ship the same day you order by noon Eastern, next business day by UPS Ground from New York to Washington DC and Northern Virginia, and the tracking number goes to you. One order can ship to up to 20 addresses.
Worked total
24-sheet ARCH D set, 3 copies, to 2 addresses. Computed from the same price list checkout uses.
| 72 sheets × $2.00 (ARCH D, B&W) | $144.00 |
| Volume discount (10% at 72 sheets) | −$14.40 |
| UPS Ground to 2 addresses: first free + 1 × $15.00 | $15.00 |
| Total, delivered | $144.60 |
Job sites do not have mailrooms, so three things matter: a name and phone number on the label (UPS calls if the gate is locked), a sturdy box (sets ship flat in a rigid box, rolled in a tube only if you ask), and tracking that goes to the person waiting — add the super's email on the order and they get the UPS link.
Distribution orders — the office, the site, the owner, three subs — are one order with each address entered separately. The first address ships at the normal rate; each additional address is $15 on Ground, and every box gets its own tracking number and packing slip listing exactly what is inside.
Folded sets travel better in a truck door: accordion fold to 8.5×11 is $0.50 a sheet and keeps the title block out so the super can find the sheet without unrolling anything.

Can UPS deliver to a construction trailer?
Yes, to any street address. Put the trailer or gate in the address line 2 and a phone number on the order.
What if nobody is on site?
UPS will attempt delivery and leave a notice; the tracking link shows the status. For an unattended site, ship to the office or a nearby UPS Access Point instead.
Can the office get a copy of the tracking?
Yes — the confirmation and the shipped email go to the ordering address, and you can add any address at checkout.
