Orders
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.

What are oversized carrier fees?
For items over 55" combined outside dimensions*, an Oversized Carrier Charge is added. This reflects our shippers' surcharges (trust us, we don't like it either!) for such large packages (frames, canvas, mats, etc.). Since your magnificent piece is a little larger, it'll take up more room during transportation, so shipping companies place this Oversized Carrier Charge to help cover their costs associated with it.
*Not sure what your combined outside dimensions are? Simply follow this calculation to estimate your outside dimensions: Width + Height + (4 times the moulding width).
To make sure that the presentation is the absolute best for you, we spend extra time assembling them so you don't have to - trust us, it's not always easy putting together an extra-large frame!
We promise, your next masterpiece is worth it - and you're going to love how stunning it turns out (even with that Oversized Carrier Charge). But don't take it from us, see what your fellow creative community members think:
"I have ordered several custom frames at this point - the cost will be significantly less that you would pay at the local frame shop, even including the cost of shipping. Highly recommended. Give this site a try."
Barney, a happy pictureframes.com customer
"I ordered an oversized frame - It was much less expensive than a cheap frame in the local shop - everyone thought I got a great deal. I will definitely shop with them again!"
Mary, a happy pictureframes.com customer
*For items over 90' combined outside dimensions please choose Standard Shipping, Expedited Shipping is not available.
