Shipping Costs on Lambert Prints, Answered Plainly

The honest answer involves a caveat most pages skip. Here is what shipping actually costs, when it costs nothing, and where hidden fees genuinely come from.

Auvrique Editorial · Fine Art Editions

The short answer

Auvrique does not currently stock George Washington Lambert editions, so there is no Lambert print to ship free. For works it does carry, shipping is free on orders meeting the minimum shown at checkout, and any cost is disclosed before payment. Nothing is added after you pay.

The Direct Answer First

No, not for George Washington Lambert, and the reason is simple. Auvrique does not currently carry editions of his work, so there is nothing to ship. Claiming free delivery on an artist who is not in the catalogue would be the kind of small dishonesty that makes buyers check their invoices twice. The catalogue changes, and when Lambert appears, the shipping terms that apply to everything else will apply to him.

For the work that is available, the policy is straightforward. Orders above the minimum shown at checkout ship at no cost, and smaller orders pay a flat rate that is visible before payment, not after. A framed piece such as the House of the Sisters in Pontoise framed poster edition follows the same rule as anything else in the range. The number you see on the checkout screen is the number on your receipt.

Where Hidden Fees Actually Come From

The skeptical instinct is correct more often than it should be. In the print trade, surprise charges usually arrive in one of three places. Customs duties on cross border parcels. A framing surcharge added after the order is placed. Or a delivery fee that only appears at the final payment step, once you have already invested twenty minutes in the purchase.

Auvrique's approach is to show the full cost, shipping included, before any payment details are entered. Custom sized work is the one case worth flagging, because a non standard format can change both the price and the freight. That is why the no-cost delivery options for custom orders are confirmed at the quote stage rather than buried in a policy page. If a canvas like Beach at Heist canvas edition of Beach at Heist needs a size outside the standard range, the shipping figure moves with it and you see the new figure first.

What to check before ordering

Whether the total shown includes freight or adds it at the last step.
Whether framed formats carry a separate handling charge.
Whether your country adds import duty on top of the order.
Whether custom sizes change the shipping quote, and by how much.

How the Terms Compare Elsewhere

Free shipping for art prints is common enough that it has stopped meaning much. Many sellers fold the freight into the print price and call the delivery free, which is legitimate but not the bargain it sounds like. Others offer free delivery only on their cheapest formats, then charge properly for anything framed or on canvas, which is where a buyer comparing three tabs gets caught out.

The useful comparison is not whether the word free appears. It is whether the total at checkout matches the total in your bank statement a week later. Auvrique's terms hold that line, and the refund policy covers the case where a piece arrives damaged rather than leaving you to argue with a courier Auvrique Shipping Policy. If a specific figure matters to your decision, asking before you order takes less time than disputing it after contact Auvrique directly.

Free delivery that appears only at the final step is not a policy. It is a negotiation you did not agree to enter.

Charge	Where it appears	How to avoid it
Freight added at payment	Final checkout step	Check the full total before entering card details
Framing surcharge	After order confirmation	Confirm framed and unframed prices match the listing
Import duty	Delivery, billed by customs	Check your country's threshold before ordering abroad
Oversize fee	Invoice for large formats	Ask whether your chosen size counts as oversize

Related questions

Will Auvrique add George Washington Lambert prints in future?

The catalogue is reviewed and expanded over time, and Lambert is a reasonable candidate given the interest in early twentieth century figure and landscape painters. There is no date to give. If his work appears, it will carry the same shipping terms as the rest of the range, with costs shown at checkout before payment.

Is shipping really free, or is it built into the print price?

Both things can be true at once, and it is worth being clear about it. Freight on qualifying orders is not billed separately, but no seller absorbs transport costs out of goodwill. The honest comparison is the all in price, shipping included, against the all in price anywhere else.

Do framed prints cost more to ship than unframed ones?

Framed work is heavier and more fragile, so it can cost more to move, and some sellers pass that on as a surcharge. At Auvrique the price shown for a framed edition already accounts for how it travels. If a size is unusual, the adjusted total is confirmed before you pay.

What happens if my print arrives damaged?

Damage in transit is the one shipping risk no packing fully removes. The refund policy covers pieces that arrive damaged or not as described, and the process starts with a photo and a message rather than a return shipment you arrange yourself. You are not left negotiating with the courier.
