Heavier parcels were on occasions mailed via Parcel Post which has been changed to Priority Mail International. The fee for registered mail was increased from $7,90 to $10,15 and to $10,80 (on May, 12, 2008).

Method of Shipping: The majority of your prints will be mailed flat, secured between several layers of stiff cardboard. Some of the largest prints (over 14 inches, or 36 cm) may be mailed in a 3- or 4-inch (7,5 or 10 cm) diameter tube to save you the postage, as the overall weight of a  package with the protective cardboards is much higher. Only the prints that can be easily rolled will be mailed in a tube. Some prints are printed on paper that would be damaged if rolled into a tube and they will be mailed flat.

Domestic buyers: Please note that any package weighing 13 ozs. or more must be mailed via Priority Mail. A large print mailed in a tube weighs less than 13 ozs. A large print mailed flat with the protective cardboards weighs more than 13 ozs. You can use this link to calculate the approximate Priority Mail postage (replace "to ZIP code" with your ZIP code) for a large print mailed flat.

Multiple purchases: We automatically combine multiple print purchases into one package. You do not need to email us a request for combined mailing. eBay's automatic checkout often includes separate postage for each print and you may end up paying much higher postage than is due. You do not need to worry about this, as the extra postage you may have paid will  be always and promptly refunded.
Insurance, proof of mailing etc.: Domestic buyers: Insurance costs extra and it is an option on your invoice. Unless you request otherwise, all packages will be mailed without insurance, proof of mailing, signature confirmation etc. 

International buyers: Packages mailed internationally via 1st Class Mail International can be sent via Registered Mail (requiring a signature)  for additional $ 10,80 to assure the delivery. It is the most secure method of mailing. A registered package is automatically insured up to $45 or up to the declared value, whichever is lower. If you want to insure your package to its full value, it has to be mailed via Priority Mail International. Unless you request otherwise, all packages will be mailed without insurance, proof of mailing, signature confirmation etc.

Buyers from Italy: There have been numerous problems with the delivery to your country and some type of insurance is strongly recommended.

Internet tracking: Domestic buyers: Any Internet tracking services cost extra. If you are interested in such a service please email us. Packages that are insured can be tracked over the Internet without additional cost. Unless you request otherwise, all packages will be mailed without a possibility of Internet tracking.

International buyers: Any Internet tracking services cost extra. If you are interested in such a service please email us. Internet tracking is automatically included when you purchase insurance, for registered packages and for packages mailed via Priority Mail International. Unless you request otherwise, all packages will be mailed without a possibility of Internet tracking.

What to expect in the mail: The photos show what you should expect in the mail. The actual parcels may vary in size (depending on the size of your largest print):
Domestic Mail:
1st CLASS: Flat 10 x 13 inches envelope: FRONT and BACK side.
1st CLASS: 3 inch diameter TUBE.
1st CLASS: 4 inch diameter TUBE.
PRIORITY: Flat 14 x 18 inches envelope: FRONT and BACK side.
