Can I order prints in custom sizes?

Each product lists the size choices or custom dimensions it supports. If the size you need is not available, contact support before ordering.

What file formats are accepted for uploading photos?

Use a file type accepted by the product editor. JPEG and PNG are useful starting points for photo uploads; artwork products may accept other formats. Check the upload control for that product before preparing your files.

Is there a limit to the number of photos I can upload per order?

Photo counts and layout choices vary by product. Check the product page and editor, choose a layout that fits your photos, or create additional designs for your cart. Contact support if you need help choosing a format.

How can I track the status of my order?

Check your order details in your account and the confirmation or dispatch messages for your order. Our Shipping Information explains production and transit. Contact support with your order number if you need an update.

Payment and Pricing

What payment methods does PortraitPress accept?

Checkout offers PayPal and card payments through Stripe. The payment choices shown for your order are the available options; review your total before completing payment.

Are there any hidden costs or fees?

Review the final order total at checkout. Shipping, applicable tax and any other displayed charges are included there before you submit payment. Your product subtotal alone is not the final order total.

How is the price calculated for my order?

Your product price depends on the options and quantity you select. Review the calculated product price, discounts, shipping and applicable tax at checkout before placing your order.

Can I apply multiple discount codes to a single order?

We only support one discount code per order. Save those extra codes for future purchases!

What is your policy on pricing errors?

Review your selected options, quantities, discount and final checkout total. If a price appears incorrect, contact support with the product or order details so we can investigate.

Shipping And Delivery

What shipping options are available?

Enter your delivery details at checkout to see the shipping methods and prices available for your products and destination. Local pickup appears only for eligible orders or accounts. See our Shipping Information for guidance.

Can I expedite my order?

A faster delivery service, when offered at checkout, changes carrier transit time and does not automatically shorten production. If you have a deadline, contact support before ordering to confirm what is possible.

How do I calculate shipping costs?

Add your products to the cart and enter your delivery details at checkout. Available services and charges depend on the order and destination; review the selected method and final total before paying.

Contact support as soon as possible with your order number and the requested correction. We will check whether the order can still be changed; an address change is not guaranteed once production or dispatch has begun.

How do I track my shipment?

Check your order details and dispatch email for shipment information. Tracking availability depends on the selected service. If your order status or tracking needs attention, contact support with your order number.

Product Quality

What type of paper do you use for printing?

Paper and other materials vary by product. Check the product page and editor for the available paper, finish and mounting choices. If you need help choosing a material, contact support before ordering.

Does PortraitPress offer color correction services?

PortraitPress does not offer color correction. Review the brightness, color, crop and rotation of your image before ordering. Screen appearance can differ from the finished print.

How can I get the best print quality?

Start with a clear, high-resolution image and review the crop, rotation and text in every layout before ordering. Paper and finish affect the printed result, and a screen can look different from a print. Contact support if you need help preparing an image or choosing a finish.

Can I request a sample before placing a large order?

Order a small quantity when the product allows, or contact support before ordering to discuss the available options for your project. A sample or smaller order still follows the product pricing and delivery terms.

What should I do if I'm not satisfied with the print quality?

Contact support with your order number and a description of the problem. Our Return Policy explains reprints for printing or shipping errors and the terms that apply to customer-supplied image issues.

Returns and Refunds

What is the return policy of PortraitPress?

Our Return Policy explains reprints for our printing or shipping errors, shared reprint costs for customer errors, and the conditions and fees for returns. Please read it and contact support about your order before returning items.

How do I request a refund?

Contact our support team and we'll start the conversation to resolve your issue.

Can I return a print if I don't like it?

The options depend on the cause of the issue. Printing and shipping errors are treated differently from concerns with the original image or design. Review the Return Policy and contact support before returning a print.

What happens if my prints are damaged upon arrival?

Contact support with your order number and details of the damage. The Return Policy provides for reprints when an error occurs in our printing or shipping process.

Are there any items that cannot be returned or refunded?
