Delivery FAQs

Your product will be dispatched in approximately 10-14 working days, from receipt of uploaded files.

When your product is not to the standard that you might expect, check your project file. Some errors can be made in the original file. You can check the file, sent for printing, by checking the album. In this case, there is not much we can do. The software is simply a design tool: it cannot make a quality book without your input and effort. However, if you believe that the error is in the finished product, and does not exist in your project file, please contact us by email. We will try to investigate what went wrong, determine if the error occurred during production, and try to find a satisfactory solution. Please note, if errors have been made in our production, we will always reprint and re-supply.

‘When I go to order my project, I see resolution warning messages in the flight check.’ This message warns of images that are below the ideal recommended print resolution. The threshold for this warning message is 150 dpi. It is possible to continue on and ignore the warning; however the affected images may lack sharpness, or produce a pixelated result when printed. You may want to use a picture from a camera phone, Facebook or a scan of an old picture where the resolution may not be very high. By all means include them in your project, however we are not in a position to guarantee the results. Our software works on triangle warning symbols. Amber triangles are in place to alert you of items that may need altering but it is possible to continue with your order. The red triangles will have to be altered and will not let you continue to order.
