SendAFrame Help & FAQs![]() 110% Guarantee When we went into business in 1981, we knew that we were only as good as the word-of-mouth reputation we created. We have always used the finest of materials, parts, and craftsmanship in everything we do. We want you to have complete confidence in us and so we stand behind our service, our products and our customers. That is why we have a 110% satisfaction guarantee with every purchase. If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, within 14 days of delivery we'll exchange it, value in full, or refund the purchase price, less any outbound incentives issued (if applicable), upon its return. Personalized or special order pieces will be replaced with similar pieces at no charge when we have made an error in your order. If within 30 days of purchase you find any item at a photography web-store offering a lower price than you paid SendAFrame.com*, we will refund the difference plus 10%. *Please include in your comparison all extras you receive at SendAFrame. These include free gift wrap to your recipient, free and insured shipping without any "handling" charges to you, Framers Dozen promotional pricing, in-stock/guaranteed delivery and Kodak print promotions. Sorry, comparisons with companies that are "Going out of business", "Limited Time sale", "Can't ship within 24 hours" or Shipping from 3rd party sales such as amazon.com and overstock.com are not eligible.
While we make every possible effort to photograph and describe our pieces accurately, some variations are beyond our control for which we can not be responsible. Examples of such variances include, but are not limited to: colors that may differ from descriptions and monitor-to-monitor; border edges that extend over prints where the glass is accommodating the size indicated; material structure that may slightly differ due to hand manufacturing. In order to keep our prices low and our costs down, special order items, discontinued items, or items returned without their original packing materials will be subject to a minimum 40% restocking fee. Items returned in less than original condition are subject to additional charges levied at the discretion of the Returns Supervisor. Photographs, personalized items, and custom-made and specially ordered pieces may not be returned for refund nor credit of any kind. Thank you for your understanding. < < back Free Delivery over $50.00 SendAFrame.com is pleased to offer free SuperSaver level shipping on orders over $50.00 to the continental 48 states. SuperSaver shipping arrives in 3-6 business days (might be less if available to ship from the warehouse nearest you!), excluding holidays (often arrives in 4 or less). This is not a guaranteed delivery date option however. At the discretion of the carrier, delivery may extend up to 8 business days for rural areas. SendAFrame will make every effort to advise of upcoming conditions. < < back Shipping Costs & Timing Shipping costs (per destination) and arrival times are: SuperSaver: 3-5 business days (might be less if available to ship from the warehouse nearest you!), excluding holidays (often arrives in 4 or less). $5.95 1st item (discounted from $8.50-$12.25); $2.95 each additional item; $3.95 1st print; $0.25 for each additional print.

At the discretion of the carrier, delivery may extend up to 7 business days for rural areas. SendAFrame will make every effort to advise of upcoming conditions. 3-day: Three business days (or less) by 16:30 (19:00 in some areas), guaranteed, when ordered before 5pm EST, excluding holidays. $9.95 1st item (discounted from $10.75-$15.80); $3.95 each additional item; prints: $0.25 additional. 2-day: Two business days (or less) by 16:30 (19:00 in some areas), guaranteed, when ordered before 5pm EST, excluding holidays. $14.95 1st item (discounted from $16.45-$23.75); $6.95 each additional item; prints: $0.25 additional.

(not available to all locations) $46.95 1st item (discounted from $54.00 - $78.00); $6.95 each additional item. This is a very expensive routing method. Although not more difficult to us, the cost is the FedEx charge to have a special courier make the run to your location. Please reserve this method for "need to have" situations only. Saturday delivery: If you are ordering on a Friday and would like Saturday delivery, this is an available option to many US cities. It is pricey (think: "courier going to your house" !) - and we only pass along the surcharge to your order. Please choose Saturday delivery only if it is Friday and you are needing next day delivery. We will confirm shipping by 7pm on Friday via email. Please note: SendAFrame never charges for handling. Super handling of your important purchase is why you continue to have confidence in us. We believe the freight charges are as close (or below) and fair to our cost as we can approximate in our automated shopping cart. If you believe otherwise, please note this in the SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS upon checkout and we will re-examine your charge against the actual expense. It is impossible for us to exactly quote the actual shipping costs, but we never want you to pay more than actual cost. We do not make any money on shipping charges. If you have your own FedEx account #, we will be pleased to use it for your shipment and have FedEX direct-bill you. Indicate this when you choose a shipping choice. You then won't have any shipping charge from SendAFrame - your charge will be billed by FedEx directly. < < back Shipping Methods & Policies We know that you are anxious for your special items to arrive. Your purchases can be delivered as soon as next day ! We guarantee that all in-stock orders for 1-12 pieces, indicated when you place your piece(s) in an online shopping cart by 16:00 EST on regular business days, will ship the same day. Any holiday variations for specific items will be noted IN RED in your shopping cart as well as in your emailed confirmation. In-stock orders of more than 12 pieces may be delayed 1 business day as we may need the extra time to check the pieces before packing and shipping. Orders will be shipped based upon availability from 1 of our 7 warehouses located in Northern NJ, Eastern MA, Central OH, Chicago IL, Memphis TN, Austin TX, or Northern CA. Holiday delivery pressures (15 business days prior to 12/24 and 5 business days prior to Mother's Day or Father's Day) or personalization requests may necessitate delayed shipping. You are notified of this at time of order with our RED ALERT cart window messages. We thank you in advance for your understanding and ask that you please order early, adding a minimum of 3 business days to your transit needs and select the necessary delivery option that will guarantee on-time arrival as prescribed by our carrier. We greatly value your repeat patronage and we will do whatever is necessary, including continuing to track your package through its travels, in order for your SendAFrame purchase to be a delight. SendAFrame offers four shipping options for delivery within the 50 United States. Canada, Puerto Rico and other international addresses are shipped with your own Federal Express account # to bill the excess freight and duties to. Please note that the term "shipping" is defined as our transfer to our selected common carrier with the information that you provide us. Although we will make our best effort to monitor and notify you of any delays or problems affecting the delivery of your order, we are not responsible for issues beyond our control: SendAFrame uses FedEx and UPS for shipping. FedEx is our preferred carrier and will be used for all situations as our default. < < back Gift Packing We take the packing of your gifts going to your recipients very seriously. It is evident that many of our customers purchase from SendAFrame because we don't charge for any of the work in preparing gifts. Always with the same care as if you had done it at home - or nicer! As we often tell customers: "We don't charge for handling... ...and certainly wouldn't charge for a little paper, ribbon tape and time!" < < back Returns & Damages For over 25 years, our "advertising
plan" has been our customer's complete
satisfaction. Its the only way we know to get you to recommend
us to others. If you desire to return your item purchase, you may do so within 14 days of delivery for a full and cheerful merchandise refund to your method of payment. Please inspect your order's contents promptly upon delivery. If contents have arrived damaged, contact us immediately as described below so that we can process an insurance claim and start the process of free replacement quickly. It is important that we be notified within 14 days of receipt as insurance does not cover any period longer than this. Thank you for your understanding. Important: printed photos, personalized items and special ordered products (including but not limited to: CustomCut frames, items not originally available at time of order that were special ordered for your order in excess of $250 value, engraved items), may not be returned for refund nor credit for any reason unless an error has been made in production. 3 EASY STEPS TO MAKE A RETURN or REPORT DAMAGES 1. Contact our customer service department. If you are reporting damage(s), we will make free replacement, often without the need to return. Damaged pieces that you want bank card credit only for do need to be physically returned.
2. You will receive a Return Authorization code (RA #) email from a customer service representative. This code must appear next to our address on your package label. 3. An authorization code is required for all returns and must appear on the outside of the package. Send your package to: Send A Frame, Inc. Your refund will be made within 10 business days of merchandise receipt in the same form of payment that the sale was made eg: on to your original bank credit card or via mailed check If you are returning a piece because it is damaged, defective or not the correct product ordered and we are unable to ship you a replacement, SendAFrame will also reimburse the the same shipping cost as was selected and you paid for your outbound shipment in your credit. Return credit is made for merchandise only; shipping charges are not credited. If outbound shipping (to you) was provided at no charge, our normal shipping charges will be deducted from your merchandise refund. In order to keep our prices low and our costs down, approved returns of discontinued items, returns past the 14 day allowance, 50% or more of an order's total value in excess of $250, or items returned without their original packing seal will be subject to a minimum 20% restocking fee. Items returned in less than original condition are subject to additional charges levied at the discretion of the Returns Supervisor. Consideration and waivers are ALWAYS made for customers with an order past history with us! Items returned without their original packing materials will be subject to a minimum 40% restocking fee at our discretion. While we make every possible effort to photograph and describe our pieces accurately, some variations are beyond our control for which we can not be responsible. Examples of such variances include, but are not limited to: colors that may differ from descriptions and monitor-to-monitor; border edges that extend over prints where the glass is accommodating the size indicated; material structure that may slightly differ due to hand manufacturing; insert types for books that are factory wrapped by the manufacturer; engraving styles that differ slightly from the online reference samples. Shipments returned by FedEx due to refusal or address errors are subject to the FedEx standard $15.00 fee plus any shipping charges incurred by the order. Incorrect phone #'s, where FedEX can not reach you, also carry a non-refundable fee of $7.50. PLEASE be careful typing information and thank you for your understanding. In the case of defective or damaged merchandise, it is expressly agreed that the full extent of SendAFrame's obligation to the customer is the cost of replacement of same or similar items. SendAFrame will not, under any circumstances, be responsible for any direct or indirect costs associated with merchandise delivered in less than satisfactory condition beyond this cost of replacement. < < back International Orders
To our friends in Canada, Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands, and Major Cities Around the World: We gladly make shipments to you for orders over US$50, but we can not be responsible for the duties and tariffs imposed by your local agencies. In an effort to make your cost as low as possible, we ship all orders using your own Federal Express account #. Orders over US$250 will receive a 5% discount when we process your order to offset the charges you will pay. We do not charge anything for the excessive paperwork, special packing, and handling of international shipments. < < back ![]() Our Top FAQ
