Shipping a Serhij Schyschko Print Across Borders

The honest answer comes first. Auvrique does not currently carry editions of Schyschko's work, so there is nothing to ship yet. What follows is how international print shipping works, what it costs, and what to check before ordering anywhere.

Auvrique Editorial · Fine Art Editions

The short answer

Not from Auvrique at present. The catalogue does not include Serhij Schyschko editions, so no international shipping for Schyschko prints can be quoted here. Elsewhere, expect roughly $15 to $60 for a rolled or flat print shipped abroad, and $80 to $250 or more for a framed or canvas piece, depending on weight and destination.

The Straight Answer on Availability

Auvrique does not currently offer editions by Serhij Schyschko, so there is no print to ship and no shipping cost to quote. That is the whole answer to the first half of the question, and it is better stated plainly than buried. The catalogue changes over time, but no edition exists today, and pretending otherwise would waste your afternoon.

The second half of the question, what international shipping of a print actually costs, can still be answered usefully. Prices vary less than most buyers fear. A rolled print in a tube is cheap to move. A framed piece is heavier, more fragile, and priced accordingly. The difference between the two can be fivefold, which matters if you are cost sensitive.

What International Shipping Usually Costs

For an unframed print shipped abroad, most sellers charge between $15 and $60. Rolled prints in rigid tubes sit at the low end because they weigh little and survive transit well. Flat prints with backing board cost slightly more. These figures hold across North America, Western Europe, and Australia, with remote regions adding a surcharge.

Framed prints and canvases are a different calculation. Glass or acrylic, a solid frame, and protective crating push weight up fast, so global delivery options and fees for framed work typically run $80 to $250, and can exceed that for large formats or distant destinations. If cost is the deciding factor, an unframed print shipped rolled, framed locally, is almost always cheaper. The tradeoffs between formats are covered in the comparison of canvas print versus framed poster quality.

Customs duties are the cost nobody quotes upfront. Parcels crossing borders can attract import VAT or duty in the destination country, usually 5 to 25 percent of the declared value, charged to the buyer on arrival. Ask any seller before ordering whether duties are prepaid. A $30 print that arrives with a $25 customs bill is not a $30 print.

Before you order abroad

Confirm the seller ships to your country before configuring the print.
Ask whether the quoted price includes duties and import taxes.
Prefer rolled shipping for large prints to cut cost and damage risk.
Check the declared value on the customs form matches what you paid.

Reliability, Damage Risk and Recourse

The anxious question behind this one is whether a print will arrive intact. The honest answer is that most do, and the ones that fail usually fail at the frame, not the paper. Rolled prints in tubes are the safest format by a wide margin. Framed glass is the riskiest, which is why many sellers substitute acrylic for international orders or ship framed work without glazing at all.

Recourse matters more than luck. Before ordering from any seller, read the damage policy, not just the shipping page. A seller who replaces a transit-damaged print without argument is worth a few dollars more than one who does not. If a piece does arrive damaged, photograph the packaging before opening it further, because carriers routinely require it for claims.

If you do order a made-to-order piece, production time adds to transit time, and the two are often confused. The distinction between making and shipping is set out in the guide to made-to-order print delivery times. For general care once the piece arrives, the notes on caring for a framed poster print cover handling and hanging. And if a seller cannot answer a direct question about packaging before you pay, treat that as the answer.

A $30 print that arrives with a $25 customs bill was never a $30 print.

Format	Typical cost abroad	Damage risk
Rolled print in tube	$15 to $60	Low
Flat print with backing	$25 to $80	Low to moderate
Framed print or canvas	$80 to $250+	Moderate to high

Related questions

Why does framed shipping cost so much more than rolled shipping?

Weight and fragility. A frame, glazing, corner protection and a rigid outer crate can quadruple the parcel weight of the same image. Carriers price by weight and dimensions, and fragile surcharges apply on top. Rolled prints avoid nearly all of it, which is why they are the budget format for cross-border orders.

Who pays customs duties on an international print order?

Usually the buyer, on delivery or shortly after. Import VAT and duty rates vary by country, commonly between 5 and 25 percent of the declared value. Some sellers offer prepaid duties at checkout, which removes the surprise. If the checkout is silent on duties, assume you will be billed separately by the carrier or customs office.

What happens if an international print arrives damaged?

A reputable seller replaces it. Photograph the outer packaging before opening it further, then photograph the damage, and contact the seller within their stated window, often a few days. Carriers generally require packaging evidence for claims, so discard nothing until the claim is resolved. Read the damage policy before paying, not after.
