Frequently Asked Questions (General FAQs)

1. Do you ship worldwide?

Yes, we do ship internationally to the USA, Europe, Asia, Middle East, and more. We offer international shipping across the world to most countries.

For international orders, it's most likely going to be shipped out with the economy (5-10 days) or no rush (10-30 business days) method.

Keep in mind that we don't ship orders to Cuba, Iran, Iraq, and North Korea. We ship internationally to mostly all other countries. Please confirm and contact us if you have any questions/ concerns.

2. When will my order ship?

Our made to order products require around 2-7 business days to print and manufacture before shipping. Products will ship from the manufacturing facilities located nearest to your shipping address. More than 50% of our orders are shipped within 3 business days or less. We do offer gift wrapping services from time to time occasionally and it may take longer than average but your product will be carefully repackaged and inspected by us before shipping to you. Although, it may take a bit longer than normal, you will benefit from the higher quality product control and enjoy our premium packaging.

3. Where are some of our European fulfillment centers located?

One of our European fulfillment centers is located in Riga, Latvia. Our production facility is located in a factory building close to the city center, in a neighborhood with a rich manufacturing history in Europe.

4. Why is my shipping label in euros?

We normally print shipping labels in USD. But for orders fulfilled in Europe, we print the value in euros so it's easier to go through customs checkpoints and mail sorting centers within Europe. Packing slips are still in USD, as that's the only currency we operate with. We are planning on printing packing slips in whichever currency customers use, but that won't be implemented for a while.

5. Does FedEx ship to PO Boxes?

They don't ship to US based PO Boxes, but will ship to some international PO Boxes. We will not refund a FedEx shipping rate if a US based PO box is entered.

6. Why is my product out of stock?

The biggest pro of our made to order services is our ability to offer dozens of unique models and color options for your products. To be able to offer so many variants, we don't maintain stock of all product variants, but restock the less popular items on demand (this usually takes just a few days and is calculated in our fulfillment time). However, sometimes you might encounter a situation when your product is out of stock at our suppliers for a longer period of time. Usually, it's because:

• the manufacturer has low quantities of the product,
• they're located further from us,
• the item has suddenly been discontinued.

7. Where can European locations orders ship to?

Multiple factors affect whether an order can be fulfilled and shipped from our Europe location. Those include product type availability, stock availability, and shipping address.

11. How are your products packaged for shipment?

Because of the variety of products we fulfill, we package each item based on dimension requirements to ensure protection during shipment. Generally, posters are shipped in kraft tube boxes with plastic end caps. Frames and canvases are usually shipped in corrugated boxes, ranging in dimensions of 26x20x18 to 28x5.5x38.
