We put special care into making sure we preserve your memories so that they last for generations. You should also note that transit times may vary depending on your location, with shipping taking an additional three (3) to seven (7) business days, and peak times and holidays playing a factor. Weekends are not included in processing, shipping, or transit times.

We update our systems every constantly as we're fed information from major shipping carriers so that we can give you up-to-the-minute information on the whereabouts of your order and its delivery status. However, sometimes shipping agents can be a few minutes to a few hours behind on the status as listed. That means that if your status reads Delivered, but you have no package, typically, the best course of action is to wait up to 24 hours.

However, sometimes the situation is more serious and calls for further action. Use the provided tracking number to track your package on the shipping agent's website. Again, the tracking number can be found on your order confirmation email or your order history if you created an account during checkout.  

If the tracking states that the package was delivered, but you have not yet received it, please get in touch with the shipping agent or your local post office for further assistance. We recommend opening a research delivery claim with the shipping agent, which may help locate your package's whereabouts. 

Still, we caution you to be aware that delays do occur and that it can take a while for tracking to update. If you have any questions, contact our customer support team; we will gladly assist."

While our wood frames usually come mounted, our metal frames come separate to avoid damages during shipping. If you've received an unmounted framed poster, assembling it is easy! Here are some instructions to help you mount your poster into the frame:

  1. Remove the packaging from the frame and locate the small metal tabs on the back of the frame.
  2. Bend the tabs through 90º.
  3. Once all the tabs have been lifted out of the way, the rear of the frame can be removed and the picture inserted into the frame. Replace the back of the frame and bend the tabs back down to hold the frame in position. 

Don't forget to remove the protective lining on the front of the glass!
