We accept PayPal and personal checks. If you wish to purchase artwork by check, you must first call or email us. We will respond to you as soon as possible to discuss shipping and payment arrangements; however, [please note], if paying by cashiers' check, money order or personal check, we must wait till your check has cleared before we can ship any merchandise. **All orders must be pre-paid.

Shipping varies per item [by weight, medium, scale, and destination of your purchase and cost to insure].

Parcel: We are experts at crating and packaging paintings and smaller works of art. The least expensive method for shipping these items is via UPS, FEDEX, DHL or USPS. We take extra care to crate and package the items to make sure that there is no damage. Shipments travel fully-insured, as shipping insurance is always purchased at time of delivery. You are not liable for artwork until it is in your possession.

When your order ships, we will notify you via email. Included in your email will be a tracking number for your shipment. We encourage you to track your package online or on the phone with the carrier. Most companies can provide an estimated delivery date. Be sure to contact us if anything seems unusual with the progress of the shipment.

SHIPPING OPTIONS...we created this page to provide you with answers to any question you may have when it comes to shipping options.  If you have questions, please feel free to call us.

What shipping options do you offer?
    
We offer a wide variety of domestic shipping options to suit just about any need.  For more information, please see our table of available shipping options below. This table shows you the various carriers we use, approximate delivery times, and any restrictions that may be required on packages.  Please note all domestic packages may be shipped via UPS or FedEx.*International Shipping: At this time, we can only ship orders to destinations in the 50 United States and its official territories. In select cases, we may not be able to ship an order to Hawaii, Alaska, or Puerto Rico.

How you compute the total shipping costs?
     Shipping costs are directly related to the weight of the package.   In addition, we factor in an additional amount to cover packing materials, and any special handling considerations that may be required to ship the package.  If you pick up your order in person, we do not charge you any shipping or handling fees.

We wish to offer you a choice when it comes to your shipping options.  We realize that every customer has different requirements for receiving packages.  Keeping this in consideration, we offer the following shipping options to meet your needs:

Deliveries in the USA

  Important Note: We have recently changed our shipping options for our package deliveries.  We now offer FedEx delivery services as a standard method of shipping.  Packages selected for Ground, 3-day, 2nd day, and next day air, may be sent to you via either FedEx or UPS.

FedEx or UPS Ground Delivery
(USA 48-States)

The ground delivery option is our most popular and most economical delivery method for US-destination shipping.  Delivery times vary.  Ground service is available only for delivery within the US 48-states.  Click here for more info from the UPS website.  Click here for more info from the FedEx website.
FedEx or UPS 3-Day Delivery
(USA 48-States)
Guaranteed to be delivered in 3 business days, the 3-Day delivery option is a popular balance between speed and cost.   3-Day delivery is available only for the US 48-states.  Click here for more info from the UPS website.
FedEx or UPS 2-Day Air
(USA 50-States)
For customers in a rush, we offer 2-Day Air to any US address in the 50 states.  Flammable and hazardous substances cannot be shipped via air delivery, and bulky items (like fiberglass spoilers) may require adjustments in the shipping costs due to their large size.  Click here for more info from the UPS website.
FedEx or UPS Next Day Air
(USA 50-States)
For those who must have it right away, we offer Next Day Air Service, with afternoon delivery.  Next Day Air is the only service that will delivery on Saturday ($10 extra).  Early morning service also available upon request.  Flammable and hazardous substances cannot be shipped via air delivery, and bulky items (like fiberglass spoilers) may require adjustments in the shipping costs due to their large size.  Click here for more info from the UPS website.
USPS Priority Mail
(USA 50-States)
2-3 day delivery
For small packages sent within the 50-United States, we offer USPS Priority Mail.  This delivery service is rated at 2-3 day delivery, however, the Postal Service has had some problems since Sept 11th because of new restrictions regarding the placement of packages on passenger airplanes.  We do not ship packages weighing more than 5 lbs via USPS, except in special circumstances.  Click here for more info from the USPS website.

***We realize that most of our customers are price-sensitive when it comes to shipping - particularly our International customers. We don't mark up the shipping rates, and even discount them a bit from their levels in order to encourage our International customers to place orders with us. We do offer choices on shipping because we do understand that shipping outside of the United States can be expensive. Some of our customers opt to use UPS, FedEx, or DHL because they enjoy the speed and tracking capabilities available with these services. However, most of our customers like the price points available with using USPS and traditional mail services, and are usually willing to accept a potential delay.

How can I get Saturday delivery?
     Saturday delivery is only available as a special request option (USA only).  UPS will only deliver on Saturday if the package is sent via Next-Day Air.  There is a $10 additional charge for Saturday delivery.  The US Postal service will deliver Next-Day-Air packages on Saturday.  Priority Mail packages are also delivered on Saturday as well.

Overnight and express mail costs seem very high, why is that?
   
A next-day or 2nd-day air package requires us to 'rush' the process, which directly increases our costs.  Hence, we need to charge higher rates for rushed or express delivery.

What happens if my package arrives damaged?
     If you package was damaged in shipment, you must immediately notify the carrier via phone (1-800-PICK-UPS, or 1-800-GO-FEDEX).  They will initiate a claims process on the damaged package.  After calling the carrier, please call NorthernFront Customer Service, and notify us of the damage.  We will make make every effort to correct the problem.

What happens if my package is lost?
     This depends mostly upon how it was shipped out.  In general, we have very few problems with lost packages with any of our carriers.  With the recent events from September 11th, a large number of international packages have been slow to arrive.  If you believe your package is lost, please send us an email, or call our toll-free number at 1-888-280-7799, and we will do our best to track it down.
