THE SHIPPING COSTS COVER USPS POSTAGE FEES, INCLUDING TRACKING NUMBER, AND HELPS TO COVER THE COST OF THE PACKING MATERIALS NEEDED TO MAKE SURE ALL ITEMS ARE PACKED THOROUGHLY TO ARRIVE SAFELY AT THEIR DESTINATIONS. * THE USPS HAS CONTINUOUSLY RAISED SHIPPING RATES AND THIS LAST YEAR WAS NO EXCEPTION. I HAVE TRIED IN THE PAST, AND WILL CONTINUE TO TRY IN THE FUTURE, TO KEEP COSTS AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.

Your Patience & Understanding Is Appreciated!! * PLEASE NOTE * MY GOAL IS TO DO MATTED PRINTS WITHIN THE 5 DAY STATED PERIOD. DUE TO BEING LEGALLY DISABLED, IT MAY SOMETIMES TAKE LONGER THAN THE FIVE DAY PERIOD TO SHIP. EACH PRINT IS HAND MATTED AND TAKES TIME TO DO WITH CARE. IT ISN'T THE SAME AS TAKING A PRODUCT OUT OF INVENTORY, PUTTING IT IN A PACKAGE AND SENDING IT TO THE POST OFFICE. THE MATS ARE HAND CUT AND PUT TOGETHER TO MATCH AND FIT EACH INDIVIDUAL PICTURE. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE TIME IT TAKES TO DO EACH ITEM IN A MANNER TO PREVENT MISTAKES and/or DAMAGE TO THE ITEM, AS SHARP TOOLS, ACID FREE TAPE AND ARTIST'S GLUE ARE INVOLVED * I WILL SOMETIMES GET A BACKLOG OF PRINT ORDERS. I DO THEM AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE WHILE AT THE SAME TIME KEEPING UP MY STANDARD OF QUALITY WORKMANSHIP. IF THERE IS GOING TO BE A DELAY IN SHIPPING - AS THERE SOMETIMES WILL BE - I WILL CONTACT YOU VIA E-MAIL AND LET YOU KNOW.
