You will need to place a separate order for each shipping destination since only one shipping destination can be entered per order.

Use our Order Status and Tracking page or refer to your shipment confirmation. If you were logged in at the time the order was placed, you can also check your Order History.

When an order is shipped, we will send you an email indicating your order has been successfully processed and is on its way. There will also be a link to view your order status and get the tracking number for your order.

Paper prints will many times be grouped and placed in a single clear plastic sleeve. Prints are not individually sleeved each print unless it is ordered as an add-on.

These print sleeves are intended solely to add protection during transport. If you wish to obtain additional print sleeves for your inventory, you can order print sleeves here.

They are ideal for protecting your work from fingerprints, smudging, dust, and scratches as a result of casual handling or storage while also increasing the perceived value of the print.

Depending on the product type, they may be boxed, rolled in a shipping tube, or in some cases, placed on a pallet (huge orders). We use multiple carriers and multiple shipping methods, broken down as either Economy, Standard, or Express shipping. The primary carriers we use are UPS, FedEx, and USPS.

Orders shipped overseas that are sent via USPS will ultimately be turned over to the destination country’s shipping carrier.

International orders tracking sometimes relies on the destination country and shipping method. In many cases, for small orders, tracking might end once it reaches its last stop before leaving the U.S.

No. This is free. You will not pay more to use our order fulfillment services. Just order as usual, and don’t forget to mark your order “Drop ship” at the end of your order.

If you are unable to locate a recent order in your order history, it is likely you may not have been logged into your accounbt prior to placing your order. To fix this, simply contact us and we will be happy to add the unassigned order to your account for you.

If you plan on using Finerworks to fulfill your order, you should check the shipping page for shipping rates to determine the shipping cost and then charge accordingly. Also consider reviewing our blog post titled What to Charge Your Customers for Shipping.

FinerWorks offers free drop shipping services to all customers. It can be selected at checkout or it is selected automatically if you have a business registered within your account and have uploaded a logo.

Finerworks offers some retail-ready packaging options for primarily paper prints. These are available within P.O.S.T., our online ordering tool.

Because this can be disruptive to our normal workflow of processing and shipping orders, the addition of inserts such as flyers or other promotional materials is typically only available for Level 3 accounts.

Yes. When checking out, you would enter your friend or family’s address information as the “Ship To” destination. You can also request drop shipping on the final review page. With the drop ship option selected, a generic packing slip is included, which does not reflect the price. In addition, we will print your billing address on the return address label and not include any mention of FinerWorks.

The packing slip will not display any prices or FinerWorks information. In addition, the return address on the shipping label has the name, company, and address you entered in the billing phase of your checkout. If you want to see how this looks for yourself, just check the drop ship option the next time you place an order (even if ordering for yourself).

If you have a registered account with FinerWorks, there is an area within your account where you can save your business information, such as the company name, department, or contact person, and address. As long as you have added your business, we will use this information as the sender in place of your order’s billing information.

Included here is the ability to upload a logo. This will serve two purposes. One, it will cause your orders to automatically have the drop ship option checked (you can always uncheck this on the order review page if you don’t want the order drop-shipped), and second, it will make any drop-shipped orders include your logo. Your logo will be displayed on the packing slip.

You can upload your logo via your Account Business Info page or the Order Fulfillment App.

When you log in to your account, visit the quick checkout page. This stores the billing and shipping information you intend to use for your orders. When it comes time to place an order, your checkout page will be populated with this information. If you do not anticipate shipping your orders to the same customer each time, you may want to leave the “Shipping” fields blank. While about 30% of our drop shippers use PayPal, you can also opt to keep a credit card on file.

Important: Beyond the expiration date and last 4 digits, we do not have access to the actual card number. Instead, a payment access Token is generated by our payment gateway service. This payment Token will only be approved for purchases on FinerWorks.

Your account offers you the ability to store a limited number of images based on your account type. You can categorize these in various custom galleries you set up. After logging in, go to the My Images link, which will take you to a batch uploading tool. Select the image files you want to upload, and they will be uploaded to your account. You can order prints from these images anytime you want. This saves a lot of time, especially if you have large image files. These uploads will be stored securely and are inaccessible to the public. Whenever you place an order for a print from one of these images, a copy of your high-resolution image will be forwarded to our production department for printing.

You can do this by creating a virtual inventory of prints or cards. Once you have uploaded images to your account, you can set up individual giclee prints or cards with different sizes and styles. These will be stored in your Virtual Inventory. When you need to have an order dropshipped to your customer, go there and add the print you need to your cart.

If you are based outside of the U.S. and want your order drop-shipped, we recommend configuring your business profile with a U.S.-based address. This prevents confusion and potential problems that can occur with the shipping service or even customs.

You can access your business profile in your account business profile or the Order Fulfillment App.

You can log in to the order status page or go to your order history (if you have an account). Toward the bottom of the copy of the order, we will post your tracking number shortly after your order has shipped.

Whenever we ship an order, we will send an email notice to the email address you provided in your billing information. This email will include a link where you can access a copy of this order, as well as tracking information when made available. Note that orders shipped from our partner lab may not always have tracking information available.

Prints being lost or damaged during shipping is rare; however, it does happen on occasion (less than 1% of orders are ever reported), and we will do everything possible to provide a replacement as soon as possible. For more information, please visit our returns and replacement page.

Yes. When you place your order, the final review page has a box where you can include comments. These will be printed on the packing slip. Please note, this box only allows for text and letters so you will not be able submit website links.

If you have a history of placing a substantial number of orders on a weekly basis at regular intervals, we would love to discuss with you the various discount programs we can offer based on the options you plan to order. We have Tier programs, plus we can also take into consideration other things such as product size, style, and volume of prints.

While we do offer a 30-day money-back or replacement guarantee in most instances, customers who use us to fulfill their orders are responsible for any third-party refunds or returns.  Please visit our returns page for more details.
