How long until I can expect my canvas to arrive?
Please allow 5-7 working days for delivery after full payment is received. Deliveries can arrive at any time between 9am - 5.30pm local time, so if you are not in during the day it may be easier to arrange the delivery to be made to your work address.

If I order more than one picture, is the delivery charge more?
The £9.00 delivery charge is a one-off charge no matter whether you order 1, 2 or 5+ pictures. So the more you buy the better deal you get! Delivery to other UK areas (Northern Ireland, etc) is £15.

Do you do any more sizes?
Apart from the numerous sizes we have on offer, we can supply made to measure canvases as well. Just let us know what size you want by email or phone and we will give you a separate quote. The largest size we can print, however, is 8ft x 4ft (2440 x 1220mm).

Do you have a gallery or somewhere I can see examples of the canvas?
No, we operate purely as an online website and are only a manufacturing unit in Sevenoaks with no showroom or retail facilities. We therefore cannot accept any personal visits at our premises. Howver, under the distance selling Regulations, we do operate a full refund policy if you are not happy with your purchase (see below for returned items.

Can you print my own pictures or photos?
Yes, 80% of our orders are for customer's own photos. Please refer to our canvas prints section of the site for instructions to upload your digital image.

My picture is not in a digital format?
Due to receiving so many orders now, we can no longer accept conventional photos. Please scan at 300 dpi minimum, and save in JPEG format (see scanning guide), then upload in the normal way.
Please note that we cannot accept
• any conventional photographs – please scan using the scanning guide and send in a digital format
• a picture taken using the camera on your mobile phone (less than 4 Mega Pixel) or
• a picture taken by a camera less than 4 Mega Pixel.

Will the colours I see on screen be the same as the finished canvas?
We cannot guarantee this as individual monitor settings can vary. If there is a particular colour match you need please contact us for more info (you will need either a pantone or a colour swatch to post to us).

Will my canvas be the same as the image I see online?
Images will vary depending on the size you have ordered due to scale and proportion.

What can be done about datestamps and red eye?
Our designers will automatically remove date stamps and red eye wherever possible, and this is done completely free of charge. However, if you would prefer not to take advantage of this free service then please email sales@canvasrus.co.uk quoting your UK Ref no.

How do I care for my canvas?
A heavy duty laminate finish is now applied to all canvases which will increase their lifespan considerably but it would still be advisable not to expose a canvas to continuous, strong sunlight. This laminate does however give a reasonably waterproof and scuff proof finish, so you can now wipe away the dust with a damp rag without fear of damaging it.

Do you supply to trade?
Yes, if you want 10 or more pictures please visit our parent company website, www.portobelloart.co.uk or contact us for our trade prices.

How do I use my Gift voucher code?
You will find a special promotional box on the shopping cart page entitled view basket which you will be redirected to after you have chosen the quantity required and added your image to the basket. Enter your unique 6 digit voucher and the amount will automatically be deducted from your total on the next page at the CHECKOUT. Gift vouchers are only valid for 1 year after purchase. No refunds can be given for any orders less than the voucher value, but you may select a bigger size, order more than one canvas or have your image turned into a style from the ‘Your Art’ pages at a higher value and pay the difference online.

How do I use my discount code?
For any discount offer you should again use your unique 6 digit discount code in the same way as for the GIFT VOUCHER above at the view basket page. This entitles you to discount off all gallery and 'photos onto canvas' canvases, but not 'Your Art' personalization charges and also excludes the delivery charge of £10.

Am I entitled to any discount if I order more than one canvas?
For all orders over £150, 10% discount will automatically be deducted from your total order price on the checkout page. You will not need to enter any additional promotional code. This can be used in addition to other discount offers and promotional codes.
However: the extra discount will only be applied after any other promotional offers have been deducted from your total price. (ie. If you order £150 worth of canvases and use a promotional code for 10% discount on the Shopping Cart page, this will bring your total order price down to £135.00 so you will not be entitled to the extra 10% bulk order discount).

How does the shopping cart work?
Just like a shopping cart at a supermarket, you can put things in your cart (by clicking on the add to cart button) without having to buy them - it is just a way of holding onto things that you are interested in. You are not committed to a purchase until you take your selected item(s) through to the checkout. However, you cannot purchase an item until it has been added to your basket, so remember to check the contents carefully before you check out. You can check the contents of your basket at any time by clicking on the your basket link at the top right hand side of the page. If you want to delete an item, simply click on the red remove button.
If you want to edit an photo to canvas order ie. change the style or size, click on the red 'edit item' and you will be taken back to the choose the edge page and then repeat the selection process.When you have finished shopping, click on the view basket, then click the PLACE YOUR ORDER button. You will be then asked for your personal details. The shopping cart uses cookies to operate.
