Let us ship your prints and frames to your customers. With our drop shipping service, your orders will look like you produced and shipped the order. There is no additional charge to choose this option and it can be automatic or done by checking the drop ship box at checkout.
At checkout, choose the drop ship box on the last screen after your enter your shipping destination. Or, if you are registered user, you can save your business profile and upload the logo you want us to use on your shipping labels and packing slips. That's it! The order is received at your customer's location within 5 to 10 working days and it looks like you sent it. If you use one of our order import apps for Shopify, Etsy, Squarespace, etc, dropshipping is automatic.
Please note the following: We cannot refund sales tax charges for previously placed orders. Also, we cannot accept tax exempt forms from other states since they may not be recognized by the state of Texas.
We only charge sales tax if your billing or shipping address is in the state of Texas. If you are outside the state of Texas but you have a customer in Texas, you will be charged sales tax unless you are registered with FinerWorks as “Tax Exempt”. Contact us for instructions on making sure your account is tax exempt for orders being shipped to Texas.
No. VAT (Value Added Tax) is something not currently applicable in the United States where FinerWorks is located. If you are not based in the U.S. and are subject to paying VAT, then this would be your responsibility outside of your purchase from FinerWorks. If you have additional questions about VAT, we recommend to consult with a tax specialist.
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.
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 upon the options you plan to order. We will gauge this on size, style and volume of prints.
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.
Print’s being lost or damaged during shipping is rare however it does happen on occasion (less than 1% of orders are ever reported to us) and we will do everything possible to provide a replacement as soon as possible. For more information please visit our returns and replacement page.
Whenever we ship an order we will send an e-mail notice to the e-mail 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.
You can login 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.
If you are based outside of the U.S. and want your order drop shipped, we recommend you enter your business information within your account but use our address. This prevents confusion and potential problems which can occur with the shipping service or even customs. This also helps us since we must use a U.S. based address on the customs forms.
You can do this by creating a virtual inventory of prints or cards. Once you have uploaded images to your account in your personal galleries, you can setup individual giclee prints or cards with different sizes and styles. These will be stored in “My Prints Inventory“. When you need to have an order drop shipped to your customer, go there and add the print you need to your cart.
Your account offers you the ability to store a limited number of images based upon your account type. You can categorize these in various custom galleries you setup. 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.
When you login 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 on 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. Be aware that we do not store the actual card number beyond the expiration date and last 4 digits. A payment access token is generated by the payment processor which can only be used when you order on this site.
When you are registered with FinerWorks and login to your account, you will see an area where you can enter business 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. Visit our YouTube channel to see how to upload your logo to your account.
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.
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 check out. 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).
Below is a quick guide to determine if tracking is going to be available. In most cases it is yes:
When your order has shipped, we will send you an e-mail informing you that it is on its way. There will also be a link to view your order status and get the tracking number for your order. The majority of the time you can click the tracking number itself to see where it is at and estimated date of arrival.
*Our Atlanta photo lab in some cases will use the most inexpensive shipping method to keep rates down for small orders like photo prints, which are using economy shipping. Because of this, tracking services may not always be available for very small orders that weight less than 13oz.
**International orders rely on the destination country and shipping method. In many cases for small orders tracking might end once it reaches it’s last stop before leaving the U.S.
No. 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.
