Frequently Asked Questions

PRODUCT QUESTIONS

Do your embroidered maps come framed?
All maps come in a complimentary vintage-inspired frame which you can select at check-out. The frames perfectly complement our embroidered vintage map prints so they are ready to gift or display in your home. You can also specify at check-out if you prefer your print un-framed.

Do the frames have a glass cover?
On the listing, we give you the option of adding a glass cover to your frame. Our recommendation is no glass cover as we want you to be able to see and feel the embroidery. A glass cover gives your map a more gallery look (which I do love as well!) - and is available for $2.00 CAD, just make sure to select glass as an add-on option on the listing.

How long does it take for my piece to be made?

Outside of the holiday season, our maps take approx. 3-7 business days to hand-stitch while custom maps that need to be mocked-up take 5-10 business days. If you need your item rushed, please contact us prior to ordering or order this listing here (this bumps the processing up to 1-2 business days). If any delays in processing orders occur (i.e. the holiday rush) we will include a notification below and post updates on our social media pages.

SHIPPING / PICK-UP QUESTIONS

I live in the Ottawa area - do you offer local pick-up? 
We are happy to offer local contactless pick-up in Little Italy! At checkout, instead of selecting a shipping method select "Local Pick-Up". We will then send you our address to set up a date and time for pick-up that works best - placing your order on our mailbox for a 100% contactless pick-up. Please only select this option if you can pick up in Ottawa.

What is your flat-rate shipping? 
Our flat-rate shipping is a lower-cost-but-fast shipping method that is either ICS Courier, Purolator, or UPS. Flat-rate shipping does not go to PO Boxes - please select a Canada Post (Expedited or Xpresspost) option instead if shipping to a PO Box.

Do you ship to the US and Europe? 
We are happy to ship worldwide via Canada Post or Chit Chats. If you are having trouble with shipping at check-out, please contact us as we're here to help! Please note that overseas orders may be subject to customs/VAT fees (see below).

What are the estimated shipping times? 

***Due to COVID-19 - delivery times may be delayed*** 

We'll do our best to meet these shipping estimates but cannot guarantee them as actual delivery time will depend on the shipping method you choose. Please remember to add shipping times to the time it takes for us to craft your piece in order to get an accurate estimate of arrival date.

Canada: 1-14 business days 
USA: 4-10 business days 
Europe/UK2-4 weeks 
Rest of World: 3-8 weeks

*Flat-rate Canada and USA shipping is through Chit Chats. For Canada Post or USPS, please upgrade to a faster shipping method.

What about customs and import taxes?

Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply.  Unfortunately, we are not able to pay these fees (but we're extremely sympathetic and will be frustrated all the same) and can't control delays due to customs.
