Shipping
How and when your card gets to you, and who pays customs.
Last updated September 1, 2026
Every card ships authenticated, date-stamped and encapsulated in a UV-protected, tamper-proof holder.
United States
A flat shipping and handling charge applies to domestic orders, shown at checkout before you pay. Cards go by FedEx 2-Day, insured and tracked.
International
We ship worldwide. At checkout you choose a FedEx service and see its live price before you pay.
**Import duties, VAT, GST and customs charges are not included.** Your country may charge them and FedEx normally collects them from you on delivery. They are separate from what you pay us, we cannot estimate them, and they are your responsibility.
We are required to declare the accurate contents and value of every shipment. We cannot mark a parcel as a gift or understate its value, and we will not do so if asked.
Timing
Cards are usually dispatched within two business days. You receive a tracking number by email when yours ships.
Delivery estimates come from the carrier and are estimates, not guarantees. We are not responsible for carrier delays, weather, or customs holds.
Addresses and delivery
We ship to the address you enter at checkout. Please check it - we cannot redirect a parcel once it is in the carrier's hands, and we are not responsible for a card lost because of an address error.
A phone number is required because FedEx needs a contact for delivery, and customs may need one for international shipments. We do not use it for marketing.
Risk of loss passes to you when the carrier delivers to your address.
Collection at a show
Some cards can be bought at a show and taken with you. Choose "Pick up at the show" at checkout - there is no shipping charge, nothing is posted to you, and you show your confirmation email at the ArtPics stand to collect.
