Shipping and Delivery Expectations
MotionPictureArt.com is committed to meeting your expectations by ensuring excellence in quality products and timely delivery.
All items are being shipped on Monday to Friday using TNT Post (formerly known as the Royal Dutch TPG Post). TNT N.V. is a global provider of mail, express and logistics services. The group employs over 162,000 people in 63 countries and serves over 200 countries. For 2004 the company reported sales of Euro 12.6 billion. TNT N.V. is publicly listed on the stock exchanges of Amsterdam, New York, London and Frankfurt.

We try to ship all products within 48-72 hours of receiving payment.
Delivery times will vary depending on location but 7-14 (business) days is generally the time frame used for delivery.
Please note that National and International Holidays may delay delivery.
For International orders, we use Priority Air Mail, but surface/economy is also available, although not recommended!
Let us know if you have a deadline. We will try our best to meet your expectations and contact you to provide alternatives. Please include special instructions and deadline date in the comments section of the order or contact form.
In the event that an item is temporarily out of stock or on backorder, we may hold the rest of your items until the item is restocked. As soon as it arrives, we will ship your entire order to you in one shipment.

Insurance and Tracking:
We are currently only able to offer insurance or a tracking number on select or larger orders. Please contact us for more information.
Please note that we pack all our orders very secure and never had any problems with damaged products.
We are not supporters of shipping insurance because the Postal service is not very keen on paying. Regardless of your individual sitiation, you should at least be aware of the myth of postal insurance. It does not pay for the full market value, nor other costs if they pay at all.
Two other dilemmas to keep in mind are:
- the adverse effect of placing a high value on packages shipped, making it more interesting for theft. By placing a high value on the package the special notice may be an enticement to those who are inclined to steal the contents. Certainly, it is convenient to thievery when the package or the insurance ledger clearly denotes the shipment as one containing "valuable original movie posters".
- in some cases establishing the factual value causes additional and higher taxes to be paid.

How we Pack your Order:
MotionPictureArt.com takes great care in packaging your order with sturdy materials to ensure that the products arrive to you with virtually no wear due to shipping and handling.
Rolled posters are put in plastic sleeves, and then inserted into heavy duty, premium strength PVC tubes with padding at each end.
Flat products are put in plastic sleeves and bags, and placed on one or sandwiched between two sturdy pieces of cardboard and/or wood and shipped in a bubble envelope.
We use clearly printed address labels that have both the recipient's address and our return address.
Please read our "FAQ General" to learn more about how to remove posters safely from the tubes.

Shipping Rates:
Shipping rates are determined based on the weight of the package, method of shipping and shipping address.
