Shopping Cart and Shipping
We have automated our gallery and it now includes a full PayPal based shopping cart system which allows you to select multiple images and sizes and then order and pay for your selections all in one easy step. We do our best to fulfill all orders and have them shipped within 2 business days. Our standard shipping method is Canada Post but we can be flexible and other arrangements can be made. Shipping is included in the shopping cart and every item is properly packaged. Prints smaller than 11x14" are mailed flat in a cardboard shipping box and images larger than 11x14" are shipped rolled in a proper 3" shipping tube. Although we get preferred commercial rates from Canada Post, it may seem expensive when added to the cart, however, trust me, I do not make money on shipping.

"Trackside" prints include a web quality (640x480 pixel) electronic copy of the print(s) purchased sent to the e-mail provided during the PayPal ordering process.
Print processing usually takes 48 to 72 hours. Delivery varies but is based on typical business class mail from Halifax, NS to your address.
