The short answer

A made-to-order print typically arrives within about one to two weeks. Production adds two to five business days, then shipping takes another three to seven days for most destinations. Framed pieces and canvas editions can run a few days longer than unframed posters because of assembly and extra packing.

The Two Stages Behind Any Delivery Date

Every print is produced after the order is placed, not pulled from a shelf. Production covers printing, drying and a quality check, which usually takes two to five business days. Framed works take longer because the print must be mounted and the frame assembled before it can be packed. Canvas editions sit somewhere in between, since stretching adds a step but not a full day's delay.

Shipping follows production, and the two should never be added up as one number by the courier. Transit for most destinations runs three to seven business days once the parcel leaves the workshop. Distant regions and customs checks can stretch that further. The honest total for a Mariam Aslamazian print shipping time expectation is therefore one to two weeks door to door, with framed pieces at the slower end of that range.

What Can Slow an Order Down

Most delays are ordinary rather than alarming. A large format print may need a longer drying period before it can be rolled or framed. Peak seasons add queue time at the workshop and with carriers alike. Address errors are the most common cause of a parcel circling back, so a second look at the checkout details costs nothing and saves a week.

Customs is the other variable, particularly for orders crossing borders outside the sender's region. Duties and inspection are outside anyone's control and can add several days. If a deadline matters, such as a birthday, ordering early beats paying for expedited shipping that cannot speed up production. The printing stage is fixed; only transit can be compressed.

Anyone comparing formats before ordering can see how the choices differ in choosing between canvas and framed prints, since format affects both production time and packing weight.

Common delay factors

Large formats need longer drying and inspection before dispatch.
Holiday periods add queue time at both workshop and carrier.
Incorrect addresses are the leading cause of returned parcels.
Customs inspection can add several days on international routes.

Planning Around a Date

Work backwards from the day the print should be on the wall. Allow five business days for production, seven for transit, then add a buffer of three or four days for the unexpected. That puts a realistic order date roughly three weeks ahead of a hard deadline. Anything faster is luck, and luck is not a plan.

Format matters more than most buyers expect. An unframed poster ships light and fast, while a framed piece or canvas needs heavier packing and more careful handling. Those weighing up a canvas edition like Summer Idyll against a lighter poster, or considering a framed poster such as Port at Dieppe, can read more in picking a print size for a small bedroom. The same logic applies to any artist's editions, including works in the spirit of Aslamazian's still lifes and florals.

Production time is fixed. Only the courier's part of the journey can be rushed, and rarely by much.

Stage	Typical duration	Notes
Production	2 to 5 business days	Longer for framed works
Transit	3 to 7 business days	Varies by destination
Customs check	0 to several days	International orders only
Total door to door	1 to 2 weeks	Add a buffer for deadlines

Address accuracy and customs, not production, cause most delays.

Related questions

How quickly can I get a custom print if I pay for expedited shipping?

Expedited shipping speeds up transit only. Production still takes its usual two to five business days, so the saving is usually one to three days at best. For a genuine deadline, ordering earlier is more reliable than paying for a faster courier on a print that has not been made yet.

Do framed prints really take longer than unframed ones?

Yes. A framed piece needs mounting, frame assembly and heavier packing before it can leave the workshop, which adds a few days to production. Unframed posters ship lightest and fastest. Canvas editions fall between the two, since stretching adds a step but not a full day.

What should I do if my print has not arrived within two weeks?

Check the tracking number first, since most parcels show movement even during customs holds. If tracking has not updated for several days, contact the seller with your order number. Most delayed parcels turn up within a week, usually held at a local depot or awaiting an address correction.
