In a previous e- mail you indicated the cost would be $7 per sign for an order of 100 or more. I assume that includes the "wire" that goes inside the corrugated plastic sign. Your web site states shipping is included. Can you provide the total cost for 100 signs. Do you have a phone number in case we have additional questions?

The 18” x 24” yard signs are red and white and read “Drive Like Your Kids Live Here.” Signs can be picked up in the lobby of the Villa Park Police Station at 40 S. Ardmore Monday through Friday between 7 AM and 7 PM. Residents are asked to display the signs in keeping with village code and to limit their requests to one sign per household. Signs may go quickly so please call the Villa Park Police Department non-emergency number at 630-834-7447 to confirm availability.
