Questions
How long does custom printing take to ship to Canada?
Typically 30 business days from order to door, printing included, and up to 30 business days for three quarters of the catalogue. Each product page shows its own window.
How long does custom printing take to ship to the US?
Typically 5 business days from order to door, printing included, and up to 5 business days for three quarters of the catalogue.
Does the delivery window include printing?
Yes. Windows count business days from the moment you order, and include the time it takes the print partner to make the item.
Why is Canada slower than the US?
90% of the catalogue is printed in the United States and 1% in Canada, so most Canadian orders cross the border. Products printed in Canada arrive faster (typically 5 business days); the product page says where each one is made.
Can I get it faster?
Express options, where a partner offers them, are shown at checkout with their own date. Ordering several items for one address does not slow the order down.
