Orders, Shipping, & Returns FAQ
Why is a backordered item available to order on your website?
We are constantly getting product back in stock, so in most cases, a delay in delivery is short. In the future we plan to implement a real-time inventory solution for our website to better serve our customers.
How are your frames shipped?
We ship our frames with a specially-designed packaging system that is superior to standard cardboard corners. The frame is wrapped in foam padding and bound to a cardboard suspension pad that allows two inches of space to cushion the frame within its shipping box.
How much does shipping cost?
To make sure your order arrives as beautiful as the day it left our workshop, a tremendous amount of care and effort goes into custom packaging and shipping. Our shipping rates include the cost of the parcel, custom packaging materials, and extensive labor. Shipping cost is based on the selected shipping service, the number of products in the order, and the dimensions of the products in the order.
How long will it take for my order to arrive?
*Upon placing your order, our shipping process initiates within 24 hours. We aim to dispatch your item within 4 to 5 business days, ensuring a swift transition from purchase to shipment. Our dedicated team works efficiently to meet this timeline, providing you with a timely and seamless delivery experience. Please reach out to our Customer Service Team at customercare@pictureframes.com or chat with a customer care representative if you have questions or concerns.
Can I get my order faster?
Rush Shipping is an option - this provides 2 business day shipping for your order. Note: upgrading to rush shipping will reduce your shipping time, the time needed to build your custom order remains the same.
Do you ship orders outside the USA?
While pictureframes.com is based in the United States, we've happily shipped orders to a great number of non-U.S. destinations, for years. While completing your order, simply select your country when entering your shipping address.
If your country is part of our automated shipping quote process, you will receive the associated shipping charges for that order. If that isn't the case, your order will receive a custom quote review by our Shipping Department, and you will be emailed the cost of shipping prior to the processing of your order. Please note, certain very heavy items require our special attention to get you the best shipping rates. We will contact you if the weight of your item requires special pricing.
If your country is not listed in our menu, or you have other shipping concerns, you're also welcome to contact our Customer Care Department for the cost.
International Delivery Times
In addition to our production time, International orders usually take 6-10 business days to many major markets for
shipping. Typically, international orders ship USPS but we reserve the right to utilize other carriers such as UPS
or FedEx depending on size & weight.
Want to know about orders to Canada?
Canadian shipments typically ship USPS, but we reserve the right to utilize other carriers such as UPS or FedEx
depending on size & weight. All Canadian orders will include a NAFTA statement of declaration.
Taxes, Duties, Brokerage Fees and Tariffs
If taxes, duties, brokerage fees or tariffs are imposed by a destination country, then our customers will be
responsible for those. For larger sized orders that can't be shipped via USPS to Canada, UPS or FedEx can be
used instead to reduce brokerage fees or customers can use their own brokerage carrier. Standard brokerage rates
will be used for business customers, but they may assign their own broker once they receive a customs notification.
Package Tracking
Package tracking capabilities vary depending on the method of shipment. All shipments will include a trackable
customs declaration form.
Alternative Shipping Methods
If you wish to use a shipping method not available through our site, please contact us, so we can make alternative
arrangements.
