Shipping a Mathias Goeritz Print, Stage by Stage

The short answer

A custom art print typically takes 7 to 14 business days door to door: 2 to 5 days of production, then 3 to 10 days in transit depending on destination. Auvrique does not currently carry Mathias Goeritz editions, so confirm availability before planning around a date.

The Two Stages That Set Your Date

Every print order runs through two stages, and only the second one looks like shipping. Production comes first. The image is printed, dried, inspected and framed or stretched, which takes 2 to 5 business days for most formats. Framed pieces sit at the longer end because the frame is cut after the print is made. Canvas usually moves faster than a framed poster.

Transit follows production. Domestic deliveries generally land within 3 to 5 business days of dispatch, while international destinations can take 7 to 10. The tracked delivery timeline for custom art prints is therefore a range, not a promise, and weather or customs can add days on top. The published figures are set out in the Auvrique Shipping Policy (S1).

Planning Backwards From a Deadline

If the print needs to be on a wall by a specific date, work backwards and add a buffer of at least three business days. Order fourteen days out for a domestic delivery and twenty for international. Anxious planning is not overcautious here; it is the correct response to a process with two independent variables.

It also helps to know what you are ordering before you commit to a date. A canvas and a framed poster travel differently, and the tradeoffs are set out in the guide to choosing canvas or a framed print. Once the format is settled, the hanging method matters too, which is covered in how to hang a canvas without a nail.

What Moves the Date

Format, since framed pieces add a day or two of production
Destination, because international transit runs longer than domestic
Customs, which can hold a parcel for several days without notice
Carrier load, particularly around holidays and sales periods

A Note on This Artist

Mathias Goeritz, the German-born artist best known for his work in Mexico and for the tall golden panels of the Eco Museum in Mexico City, is not currently part of the Auvrique catalogue. That matters for this question. Any date quoted here describes how custom prints ship in general, not a Goeritz order in particular.

If the deadline is fixed, check availability before building a schedule around a specific work. The broader reading on his imagery, in the guide to Goeritz's most recognizable themes, may help you decide whether a comparable geometric work from another artist would serve the same wall. For a smaller room, the sizing guide choosing a print size for a small living room is the practical next step.

A delivery date is two estimates multiplied together, and only one of them is yours to control.

Stage	Typical duration	What varies it
Production	2 to 5 business days	Framing adds time over canvas
Domestic transit	3 to 5 business days	Carrier load and distance
International transit	7 to 10 business days	Customs and local postal service

Related questions

Can I track a custom print while it is in transit?

Yes. Once production finishes and the parcel is handed to the carrier, a tracking number is issued and the remaining journey is visible in full. Tracking covers transit only, not the production stage, so the first few days of the order will show no movement.

Do framed prints take longer to ship than canvas?

Usually by a day or two. A frame is cut and assembled after the print is produced, which adds a step canvas does not require. The difference is small but real when a deadline is close, so order framed pieces a little earlier.

What happens if a print arrives late or damaged?

A damaged parcel is a replacement case, not a lost one, and the refund policy covers orders that fail to arrive as promised. Late delivery caused by customs or carrier delay sits outside production control, which is why the buffer matters. Contact support with the order number and the tracking history.
