Ordering and Pricing
Two Ways to Place an Order
We accept both original photographs and scans of your photos.
- Use our E-mail Order Form to upload your scanned images and instructions. See the Scanning Guidelines for instructions on preparing high-resolution scans if you prefer to submit scanned photos rather than your original photos.
- Use our Print Order Form and mail with your original photos. See the Shipping Instructions for information about packaging and shipping your photos.
Credit Card Payment: Since you are placing a custom order, we will contact you when your order is received to give you a price. Your payment will be processed through Paypal so we don’t handle or store your credit card information.
Please Note: Uploading the form with the file attachment may take a while, depending on the size of the file and your Internet connection speed. Please press the SEND button only once and be patient. If you’re sending multiple files, you might prefer to write the files to a CD or flash drive and mail it to us with our Print Order Form. All materials will be returned with your completed project.
Due to the nature of the product, all sales are final and non-refundable. If you receive a damaged archive, please contact us immediately and we will ship a replacement within 2–3 days.
