Where do you produce your artwork?

The Print Emporium's exclusive artwork range is all proudly designed in-house and custom printed and framed to-order in Australia. Our head office is based in Melbourne. For our Australian customers, we offer stretched ready-to-hang canvases, along with unframed or framed art prints. All our painted looking prints are from our original paintings, and we now sell high quality reprints as either a canvas or art print (framed options available). If you look up close you will see the brush strokes from our artists' brush.

Live outside of Australia? Worldwide shipping is available on all (unframed) Art Prints and Rolled Canvases (un-stretched).

How long does it take to receive artwork I purchase?

For Australian customers, we offer both unframed art prints, and also stretched canvases, and framed art prints. We ship our unframed prints rolled in a protective mailer tube, with Australia Post (regular post) with signature required on delivery. All framed items (canvases or framed prints) are safely shipped in protective boxes with Allied Express couriers for bulky items, or Sendle for unframed prints (sent in mailer tube). As our range is made to order, please expect 2-4 weeks for production and delivery to you for all framed items, or 1-2 weeks for unframed art prints as a guide.

For International customers: All unframed art prints and rolled canvas prints (unstretched) are shipped worldwide with Australia Post International Air Mail (5-7 day service), sent rolled in protective mailer tubes. Dispatch ex-Australia is approx 10-14 days from order, as a guide, as all prints are printed to-order. In busy seasonal times, some delays may occur, please allow this. All parcels are shipped with a tracking number and 'signature required' on delivery, to ensure safe arrival. Australia Post partners with all major postal services in each country, and a calling card will be left if the recipient is not at the delivery address at the time of delivery. Pickup can then be arranged at your nearest postal outlet.

How much is shipping on each item if i buy on your website?

(All prices are in AUD$ Australian Dollars)

Do you ship internationally? And if so, which items?

Yes! But as listed above, currently for international customers we just offer our Art Prints (unframed) and printed Rolled Canvases (un-stretched), shipped in protective mailer tubes. This is due to the size/weight of framed bulky items, and also wood fumigation issues (in certain countries) as we use quality timber framing for both canvases and framed prints, we aren't able to cater to sending them overseas, we do hope you understand.

Just email us at hello@theprintemporium.com.au should you have any q's or custom requests.

What framing options do you offer? (Australian customers only)

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept payment through Paypal, American Express, Visa or Mastercard Credit Card, and also AfterPay and ZipPay should you wish to buy now, pay later (in instalments). All options will be shown to you at checkout. 

Can i use the $10 off promo code together with a % promo code running currently?

Sorry, you can only use one promo code on the checkout cart page at the one time, so choose whichever works best price wise for you. Once orders are placed we can't edit it to include a promo code, so please check before you place your order that it has shown on the cart as working, if unsure send us a Live Chat message or phone or email us (contact form msg or hello@theprintemporium.com.au if unsure! We are always here to help)

Do you have a physical store I can visit?

We currently operate online, so you are in our store. We are looking for stockist partners, so we would love you to recommend us to your favourite homewares stores in your local area, or send us a CONTACT form message if you think our range would suit a particular store. And keep in the loop with our newsletter with news and Australian pop-up events.

Do I receive a tracking number # once I place an order? 

You sure do! We will advise your tracking number and carrier info once your order is dispatched. And should you wish to track your order you simply go to the Order Status section under your account. Or email hello@theprintemporium.com.au and we can happily help you out with any q's you may have  

Once I have placed my order, can i change it or edit the shipping details?

Once an order is placed, it is usually sent to our warehouse right away, so generally once it is placed, we likely cannot change it as we may have started production! However feel free to email us to check if it is possible to do so. If you ever need to edit your shipping details just let us know. Please note, we ship with Allied courier for framed items, or Sendle for rolled prints in Australia, or Australia Post international for our international customers. For all framed items, we ask you put a Shipping Address eg place of business where someone can sign for the package with Allied couriers. Business workplace address is preferred. Goods cannot be left unattended. Art Prints (unframed) shipped in mailer tubes are sent with Australia Post International (international orders) or Sendle (Australian orders).

 Do you offer wholesale / trade pricing?

Yes. Wholesale and trade pricing is available to approved applicants such as Retailers, Property Stylists, Architects, Interior Decorators, & Interior Designs.
