Key answer

Order framed prints by 11 December 2026 for Christmas delivery.

Last order dates

Order framed prints by 11 December 2026 for guaranteed delivery before Christmas. Orders placed after that date will still be made and sent as quickly as we can, but we cannot guarantee they arrive in time.

Why framed prints need the lead time

Nothing here is sitting in a warehouse. Each piece is printed, mounted and hand-framed in Britain to the size, mount and moulding chosen at checkout. Framing takes three to five working days, then two to three business days with the courier — five to eight business days from order to doorstep. December is the one month where that gap matters.

Delivery cost and area

UK delivery is free on every order. We deliver to mainland UK addresses only. Tracking details are emailed once the order leaves us. Full detail is on the delivery and returns page.

Buying as a gift

Because framed works are assembled to order, they fall outside the change-of-mind return window that applies to ready-made goods — if a piece arrives faulty, damaged or not as described we will replace or refund it, but we cannot take it back simply because the recipient would have chosen differently. If you are not confident of their taste, our guide to buying art as a gift covers the safer routes, including asking us about a credit they can spend themselves.

After the cutoff

If you have missed 11 December, email hello@theartfolio.co.uk with your order number and we will tell you honestly whether it can be done rather than guessing on the order page.

Quick answers for collectors

When should I order for Christmas delivery?
Order framed prints by 11 December 2026. Everything is made to order, taking 3–5 working days to print and frame plus 2–3 days with a tracked courier, so 5–8 business days in total. Ordering earlier is safer as courier networks get busier.
Why do framed prints take longer than stock items?
Because nothing is held in stock. Each print is made to your chosen size and hand-framed in your chosen moulding and mount, which takes 3–5 working days before it can ship. That is what makes the specification yours rather than off a shelf.
What happens if I miss the cut-off?
Orders placed after the deadline are still made and despatched, but will arrive after Christmas. If it is a gift, a card with the artwork on it and the piece arriving in January is usually better received than a rushed alternative.
Do you deliver outside the UK for Christmas?
Delivery outside the UK is not available. Everything is made to order and hand-framed in the United Kingdom, and delivery is UK only at any time of year. There is no international option, at Christmas or otherwise.
Can I send a print directly to someone as a gift?
Orders can be sent to any UK address, so a gift can go straight to the recipient. Framed pieces arrive ready to hang, which is worth knowing if it is going somewhere you will not be to help put it up.
