Philadelphia is a UPS trip from Toms River, not a walk to a local blueprint counter. Print My Plans prints the PDF in New Jersey and ships the tube to a Philadelphia jobsite, office, or house.
People ordering for Philadelphia are usually contractors who need a field set, architects sending an issued PDF, or homeowners who were told to bring paper plans to a permit counter. The prints are made in Toms River, NJ. There is no Print My Plans office, pickup window, or local counter in Philadelphia.
Row-house renovations, tenant work, and larger sets all use the same sheet price. What changes is how many pages are in the PDF and which UPS service you choose. A short trip still has a live rate. We do not publish one Philadelphia shipping charge on this page, because the price depends on the address and the weight.
Architects usually send the issued PDF. Contractors send the set they need in the field. Homeowners send the drawings a reviewer asked to see on paper. We print those pages. We do not submit them to the city.
The print price is the same wherever the tube is going. Black and white is $1.95 a sheet. Color is $3.75 a sheet. A 36×48 sheet costs the same per sheet as a 17×22 sheet. The sizes we print are 17×22, 18×24, 22×34, 24×36, 30×42, and 36×48. Paper is 20 lb bond. PDF is the only file type. Every page of the PDF counts as a sheet. Pages outside that size list are flagged when you upload, before you pay.
Shipping is not included in that sheet price, and it is not a flat shipping fee. At checkout you choose UPS Ground, UPS 2nd Day Air, or UPS Next Day Air. The rate comes from the delivery address and the weight of the tube. Print orders over $95 ship free by UPS 2nd Day Air when the address is in the lower 48 states. Philadelphia is in the lower 48, so that offer applies when the print total crosses $95. Tracking is on every order. The sheets are rolled, not folded, and they leave in a tube.
Order by 3 PM ET on a business day and the order ships the same day from Toms River. An order placed after 3 PM, on a weekend, or on a US federal holiday ships the next business day. How soon it arrives depends on the ZIP code and the UPS service you picked. We do not promise one travel time for every address in Philadelphia. Next Day Air is the fastest of the three choices, and its price is shown at checkout rather than guessed in advance.
If the drawings use a color legend, those sheets can be color at $3.75 while the linework stays black and white at $1.95. They ship together in one tube. Order by 3 PM ET on a business day when the set has to leave Toms River the same day.
