What Happens After I Place My Order?

Updated June 2026 • 7 minute read
Thank you for choosing Artbeat Studios!
Every order we produce is handcrafted specifically for you. Unlike mass-produced products, your artwork is created only after your order is placed, allowing us to carefully manufacture each piece to your exact specifications.
If you're wondering where your order is or what happens next, this guide walks you through every step of the process.

Order Timeline

Your order typically progresses through the following stages:

1. Order Received
2. Production Queue
3. Printing & Manufacturing
4. Quality Inspection
5. Packaging
6. Shipping
7. Delivery

The exact timing depends on the product you've ordered, any framing or finishing options you've selected, and the shipping method.

Step 1 — Order Received

Immediately after placing your order, you'll receive an order confirmation email.
At this stage:

• Your payment has been received.
• Your artwork has been submitted.
• Your order has entered our production system.

If you don't receive an order confirmation within a few minutes, please check your spam or junk folder before contacting our support team.

Step 2 — Production Queue

Once your order has been received, it enters our production queue.
During this stage, we:

• Verify your order information
• Confirm product selections
• Prepare the order for manufacturing
• Schedule production

This is also the best time to contact us if you need to request a change to your order.
Because every order is custom made, changes become more difficult once production begins.

Step 3 — Printing & Manufacturing

Your artwork is now being produced.
Depending on your order, this may include:

• Printing
• Dye sublimation
• UV printing
• Acrylic face mounting
• Canvas stretching
• Framing
• Mount installation
• Finishing processes

Every product follows its own manufacturing workflow, which is why production times vary between products.

Step 4 — Quality Inspection

Before your artwork leaves our facility, it undergoes a quality inspection.
Our team carefully reviews each order for:

• Print quality
• Color consistency
• Surface imperfections
• Mounting accuracy
• Framing quality (where applicable)
• Packaging readiness

If an issue is identified during inspection, we'll correct it before shipment.
Our goal is to deliver artwork that meets our quality standards—not simply to ship orders as quickly as possible.

Step 5 — Packaging

Once your order passes inspection, it is carefully packaged to help protect it during transit.
Packaging methods vary depending on:

• Product type
• Size
• Weight
• Shipping method

Oversized products may require specialized packaging or freight services.

Step 6 — Shipping

After your order leaves our facility, you'll receive a shipping confirmation email containing your tracking information.
Shipping time is separate from production time.
For example:

• Production: 5–7 business days
• Shipping: 1–5 business days

Estimated delivery:
6–12 business days
Your actual timeline depends on the product you've ordered and your shipping destination.

Step 7 — Delivery

When your order arrives:
We recommend inspecting it shortly after delivery.
If you notice any shipping damage or manufacturing concerns, please contact us within 30 days of delivery, and we'll be happy to review the situation with you in accordance with our published return and warranty policies.

Why Doesn't My Order Ship Immediately?

Every order at Artbeat Studios is custom made.
Unlike products that are stocked on a shelf, your artwork is manufactured after you place your order.
This allows us to produce artwork in your selected:

• Size
• Material
• Finish
• Mounting option
• Frame
• Custom specifications

Because each order is unique, production time is an important part of the process.

Where Can I Check My Order Status?

You can monitor your order using:

• Your order confirmation email
• Your shipping confirmation email
• Tracking information once your order has shipped

If you have questions about your order's progress, our Customer Support team is always happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions

My order hasn't shipped yet. Is something wrong?

Not necessarily.
Most orders spend several business days in production before shipping.
This is completely normal for custom-made artwork.

When will I receive tracking information?

Tracking information is sent once your order has shipped.
If your order is still in production, tracking will not yet be available.

Can I change my order while it's in production?

Possibly.
If you need to make a change, contact us as soon as possible.
The earlier we receive your request, the more options we'll typically have.

Why does my friend already have their order?

Different products require different manufacturing processes.
For example:

• Framed artwork
• Acrylic prints
• Oversized products
• Multi-piece orders

may require additional production time.
