Spent $80 on a custom bumper sticker order and realized the font was too small after they printed

I had this great idea for a funny bumper sticker for my truck, so I designed it in Canva and sent it off to a local print shop in Denver. They printed 50 of them and when I picked them up, I couldn't even read the text from 5 feet away because the font was like 8 point. Now I have a box of useless stickers sitting in my garage. Has anyone else made a sizing mistake on a bulk order?

Used to think bigger fonts were overkill, but this changed my mind for sure.

Oof, I gotta respectfully disagree with you there @evand65. Bigger fonts can actually look tacky if you don't match the design right, so the real problem here might've been not printing a test sheet first. This is more about measuring wrong than font size itself.
