Shipping Considerations

• Paintings are shipped flat. The cost is determined by the size and weight plus the cost of labor to package the piece.  Please call for an estimate. (801) 467-3926.

• Giclée prints are available either stretched over a frame (like traditional oil paintings) or mounted on a museum quality Gator Board. Both approaches have their advantages. Mounted prints do not ripple as stretched canvases can. However stretched canvases can be tightened to remove the ripples. Mounted prints are less susceptible to damage because of the hard backing.  Un-mounted or un-stretched canvases can be shipped much more economically.  Therefore, Giclee Prints will be usually be shipped rolled in a mailing tube to minimize cost unless otherwise specified. If shipped rolled, the  Giclee prints will need to be stretched or mounted before framing. Consult with your local framer to see if they provide this service before purchasing. If needed, stretcher bars can be provided at additional cost for rolled shipments. As some framers do not stretch canvases or mount prints, it is suggested that either the buyer check with other local framers to see who does provide these services or order Giclees pre-stretched or mounted and shipped at additional cost. It is more expensive to ship pre-stretched or mounted than rolled.  The cost is determined by the size and weight plus the cost of labor to stretch and mount the print.  Please call for an estimate. (801) 467-3926.

• Paper Prints, i.e.. serigraphs, etchings, lithographs, etc. are usually shipped rolled.  Because paper is more fragile than canvas and more susceptible to creasing and curling, it cannot be as tightly rolled as canvas.  Therefore, the mailing tube is much greater in diameter than with a giclée print. Correspondingly, it is more expensive to ship. We can, upon request, ship the print(s) flat.  In both cases, please call for an estimate.
