FAQ / INFO
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 (unstretched).

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.
For all orders, please note we will endeavour to get your order to you as soon as we can!

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.
