The short answer

A custom art print shipping time typically runs one to two weeks in total. Production, printing and framing take roughly three to seven business days, then transit adds two to seven more depending on destination. Auvrique does not currently carry Rita Angus editions, so order early if a date matters.

How the Timeline Actually Works

A custom print is made after you order it. That is the whole reason for the wait. The printer produces the image, the framer or canvas stretcher works it, then it is packed and handed to a carrier. Each stage is short. Together they add up to roughly one to two weeks from payment to doorstep for most destinations.

The variable part is transit. Domestic deliveries usually land within two to five business days once the parcel ships. International routes can take a week or more, and customs occasionally holds a parcel longer than anyone would like. If the print is needed for a specific date, order at least three weeks ahead and treat anything faster as a bonus rather than a plan.

What Can Slow a Custom Print Down

Larger formats take longer to produce than small ones, and framed pieces take longer than unframed posters because the frame is built to order. Peak periods, around holidays especially, add a few days at both the production and carrier stages. None of this is dramatic. It just means the tidy one-to-two-week figure is a central estimate, not a promise.

Format choice matters too. Canvas tends to ship well and needs no glass, while a framed poster is heavier and more fragile to pack. If timing is tight and the wall can wait for a frame, an unframed print arrives sooner and costs less. It is worth comparing the options before committing, whether that means choosing to order the canvas edition or reading how to choose between canvas and framed poster first.

What Adds Days

Large formats, which need longer print and drying time
Framed pieces, because the frame is built to order
International destinations, where customs can hold parcels
Holiday periods, when both workshops and carriers run behind

If You Need It By a Date

Work backwards. Fix the date the print must be on the wall, subtract the longest realistic transit estimate, then subtract a full production week. The date you land on is your order deadline. Building in a few spare days costs nothing and removes most of the anxiety that comes with made-to-order goods.

One honest note. Auvrique does not currently offer Rita Angus editions, so this page cannot point you to a specific print to order. The timing principles above still hold wherever you buy, and if you are weighing alternatives in a similar register, it helps to find prints matching Rita Angus's style or simply browse a comparable canvas edition to see how production and delivery are quoted. For anything date-critical, contact the support team before ordering rather than after.

The wait is not a flaw in the process. It is the process, and planning around it beats resenting it.

Stage	Typical duration	Notes
Production and finishing	3 to 7 business days	Longer for large or framed formats
Domestic transit	2 to 5 business days	Carrier dependent
International transit	5 to 10 business days	Customs can add delays
Total, order to delivery	About 1 to 2 weeks	Order 3 weeks ahead for a fixed date

Related questions

How quickly can I get a Rita Angus print if I order today?

If a seller offers a Rita Angus edition made to order, expect roughly one to two weeks door to door. Production takes a few business days, transit a few more. Auvrique does not currently stock her work, so check the seller's stated production time rather than assuming a shelf-ready dispatch.

Do framed prints take longer to ship than canvas prints?

Usually a little. A frame is assembled after the order comes in, which adds handling time, and glass or glazing makes packing slower. Canvas stretches quickly and ships without glass. The difference is typically a few days, not weeks, but it counts when a deadline is close.

What happens if a print arrives late or damaged?

Reputable sellers replace prints that arrive damaged, since transit damage is a carrier problem rather than a customer one. Delays are harder to guarantee against, which is why ordering ahead matters. Read the seller's refund terms before ordering, and keep the packaging if anything looks wrong on arrival.
