Shipping Times for a Made to Order Grigoriy Goldstein Print

Made to order prints involve two waits, not one. Production comes first, transit second, and the total decides whether the timeline works for you.

Auvrique Editorial · Fine Art Editions

The short answer

A Grigoriy Goldstein print from Auvrique is made to order, so shipping time is production time plus transit. Expect roughly 3 to 5 business days for printing, framing or canvas mounting, then 3 to 7 business days in transit for domestic delivery, or 1 to 3 weeks internationally. Framed pieces sit at the slower end because framing adds a step.

Two waits behind one delivery

The honest answer is that a print like this is not pulled from a shelf. It is produced after you order, which means the clock starts with production, not with a courier. Printing a framed poster or mounting a canvas edition typically takes a few business days. Framing adds the longest single step, because the print must be produced, mounted and fitted before anything ships.

So the number that matters is the total. A framed piece ordered on a Monday might be in production through the week and handed to a carrier early the following one. A canvas edition can move slightly faster since there is no frame to assemble. Either way, plan around one to two weeks from order to doorstep for domestic delivery rather than around the courier's transit estimate alone.

What changes the timeline

Size and format do most of the work here. A large framed poster takes longer to produce than a smaller one, and canvas editions follow their own production path. Destination matters just as much. Domestic addresses usually clear in days. International shipments pass through customs, and that stage is outside anyone's control, which is why overseas estimates are given as ranges rather than dates.

If a deadline is driving the order, say a birthday or a move, the practical move is to order early and build in a buffer of a few days beyond the estimate. It is also worth reading the shipping policy before checkout, since it states the current production windows and carrier options in detail the shipping policy.

What affects delivery speed

Framed prints take longer to produce than unframed ones
Canvas editions skip the framing step and often ship sooner
Larger sizes can add production time before dispatch
International orders face customs delays no estimate can absorb

Ordering against a deadline

Most anxiety around made to order art comes from not knowing where the order sits. A useful habit is to treat the production window as fixed and the transit window as variable. Production rarely runs long. Transit does, especially in December or across borders. If you need the piece by a date, work backwards from that date and add a week of slack.

It is also worth deciding the format before the date pressure arrives. If a framed poster will not arrive in time, a canvas edition of the same scene sometimes will, and the tradeoffs between the two formats are worth understanding either way framed prints without a glass front. If you are weighing sizes for the room it will hang in, that choice is easier to make while you wait best sizes for a living room.

The courier tracking number tells you about the last three days. The production window decides the first ten.

Order type	Production	Total to doorstep
Framed poster, domestic	3 to 5 business days	About 1 to 2 weeks
Canvas edition, domestic	2 to 4 business days	About 1 to 10 days
Any format, international	3 to 5 business days	2 to 4 weeks with customs

Related questions

Do made to order prints ship faster if I pay for expedited delivery?

Expedited shipping shortens transit only. It does nothing for the production window, which is the longer half of the total. If speed matters, order earlier rather than paying for a faster courier, since a print that has not been framed yet cannot travel at any speed.

Why does a framed print take longer than a canvas one?

Framing adds a physical step. The print must be produced, then mounted and fitted into its frame before packing. A canvas edition is stretched and sealed, which is a shorter process. The difference is usually a couple of business days on the production side.

Can I track my order while it is still in production?

Tracking begins once the carrier receives the parcel, not during production. Before that point, order confirmation and any status emails are the record. If the production window has passed and nothing has shipped, contacting the store directly is the fastest way to find out where the order stands.
