Arthur Lowe Framed Posters Ship to the United States

A direct answer on US availability, with the practical detail that matters once the order is placed. Framed work crosses borders differently from rolled prints, and the difference affects cost, customs paperwork and how the parcel arrives.

The short answer

Yes. Framed posters of Arthur Lowe's work ship to all 50 US states, including Alaska and Hawaii. Orders are dispatched tracked and arrive framed and ready to hang. Delivery to US addresses typically runs one to two weeks from dispatch, and customs duties are the buyer's responsibility on import.

What ships to American addresses

Every framed edition in the Arthur Lowe catalogue is available for delivery within the United States. That includes Autumn and the Clifton Grove, Clifton Hall, Nottingham view, each offered framed or on canvas. The framed poster ships fully assembled, glazed and fitted, not rolled in a tube. Nothing needs framing on arrival.

Framed parcels travel differently from flat prints. A glazed, rigid package is heavier and more fragile, so it moves through a tracked service rather than standard post. The tracking number is issued at dispatch, and the international order confirmation email carries it, so the parcel can be followed from the workshop to the door. For a sense of total wait time, the delivery timeline for an Arthur Lowe framed poster sets out production and transit together.

If the choice between framed and canvas is still open, it is worth comparing the framed edition of Clifton Grove, Clifton Hall, Nottingham against the canvas edition before ordering, since weight and framing affect the shipped package.

Costs, customs and duties

The price paid at checkout covers the print, the frame and the shipping. What it does not cover is import duty. The United States applies its own assessment on goods entering the country, and that charge is collected from the buyer, usually by the carrier before final delivery. For a framed print the duty is typically modest, but it is a separate line and it is not included in the order total.

This is the part most shipping pages leave vague, so it is worth stating plainly. A US order may attract a customs charge on arrival. The amount depends on the declared value and current tariff rules, neither of which the seller controls. Budgeting a small amount for it removes the only surprise an international order usually produces.

The full terms, including what happens if a parcel is delayed or damaged in transit, are set out in the shipping policy.

Before ordering from the US

Check that the edition and size shown are the ones you want, since framed and canvas versions ship as different packages
Expect a tracked service and keep the international order confirmation email until delivery is complete
Allow for a possible customs charge on import, paid to the carrier rather than to the seller
Inspect the frame on arrival and report any transit damage promptly so a replacement can be arranged

If something arrives wrong

International parcels occasionally arrive late, and rarely arrive damaged. A frame that reaches the US having crossed an ocean and two sorting facilities is more exposed than one crossing a single country. If the glazing or the frame is compromised, the right move is to photograph it on arrival and contact support before disposing of any packaging, because carriers require evidence for claims.

The practical reassurance is that a damaged or incorrect order is remade and reshipped rather than argued over. The refund policy covers the cases where a replacement is not the right answer, such as an order cancelled before dispatch. For anything the policy pages do not settle, the contact route reaches a person, which matters more on a cross-border order than on a domestic one.

One last note for gift buyers. If the parcel is meant to arrive by a date, order with the full transit window in mind rather than the best case, and consider the canvas edition of Autumn if the recipient is likely to move house, since a canvas travels more easily than a framed piece.

The frame survives the workshop easily. It is the last fifty miles of a transatlantic journey that test it.

Related questions

Do I pay customs charges on an Arthur Lowe print ordered from the UK?

Possibly. The checkout price covers the print, framing and shipping, but United States customs assesses goods on import and any duty is collected from the buyer, usually by the carrier before delivery. The charge depends on declared value and current tariff rules, so it cannot be quoted in advance. Budgeting a modest amount for it avoids the only common surprise.

Does the framed poster arrive already assembled?

Yes. The framed edition ships fully assembled, with the print mounted in its frame and glazing fitted. It is not sent rolled in a tube and no framing is required on arrival. Unpack it, check the frame and glazing for transit damage, and hang it. The canvas editions ship separately stretched and are a lighter package overall.

What happens if my order is delayed in US customs?

Customs holds are outside the seller's control and usually clear within days, though they can take longer during peak periods. The tracking number issued at dispatch shows where the parcel is held. If a hold extends beyond the expected window, or tracking stops updating, contact support with the order number and the parcel can be traced with the carrier.
