Production Time vs Shipping Time

One of the most common sources of confusion is the difference between production and shipping.

Production Time

Production time is the time required to create your order.
Examples include:

• Printing
• Finishing
• Framing
• Quality inspection
• Packaging

Shipping Time

Shipping time begins after production has been completed and the package has been transferred to the carrier.

Example Timeline

If an HD Metal Print requires:
5–7 business days production
and shipping requires:
1–5 business days transit
the total timeline may be approximately:
6–12 business days from order to delivery
Actual timelines may vary depending on location, product type, and carrier performance.

How Will I Know My Order Has Shipped?

Once your order leaves our facility, you will receive shipping confirmation information along with tracking details.
Tracking allows you to monitor the progress of your shipment as it travels to its destination.

Do Large Prints Take Longer to Ship?

Not necessarily.
However, oversized artwork may require specialized packaging or freight services depending on the dimensions and destination.

Transit times can occasionally vary for larger shipments.

Do Weekends Count as Shipping Days?

In most cases:
Business days are Monday through Friday.
Weekends and holidays may affect both shipping and carrier transit schedules.

Can Weather Affect Delivery Times?

Yes.
Severe weather, natural events, and carrier delays can occasionally affect transit times.
While uncommon, these situations are outside the control of both Artbeat Studios and the shipping carrier.

International Shipping

International orders may require additional transit time.
Delivery estimates can vary depending on:

• Destination country

Customers should allow additional time for international shipments.
