Frequently Asked Questions

Q. I have my own cards, photographs, prints, etc. Will you frame them for me?

A. Yes. Custom framing is a major part of our business. We encourage your participation in the process.

If you have some of your own items, and are using some of ours in the framing, we will credit you for your contribution. The credit is based on the number of items and what they are. For instance, typically, we would allow a larger credit for a centerprint than for a postage stamp.

If you are supplying all of the items, the price would be based on the size, layout, matboard, and frame style.

Either way, you can design your own layout, or let us do it.

Contact us (see "How to Contact Us") if you have a project you'd like to discuss.

Q. I don't want to send my credit card information via the Internet. What can I do?

A. Make your selections as usual. Fill in the shopping cart form. Then, print out the form using your browser.

And FAX it to us at 425-952-7794. It operates 24/7.

Q. Can I use a matboard color that Miniatures does not stock?

A. Yes. We stock the 12 colors most popular with our customers.

We can obtain just about any other color. All you need to do is to specify the matboard manufacturer and code number. This information is usually found on the back side of the matboard.

Upon receipt of this information, we will then order the matboard. However, please note that a small upcharge may be incurred for such special orders to cover extra charges and waste.

Q. Can I use a frame style that Miniatures does not stock?

A. Yes. We stock the 5 frame styles most popular with our customers.

We can obtain other styles. But, there are many manufacturers and many styles of frames. Availability, styles, and prices vary significantly. Basically, there are two ways to do it.

Method #1) You furnish us with the frame of your choice. You package and ship it to us. We credit you for the average cost of our frame (in that size). The credit you receive from us may be more or less than what you paid for the frame.

Method #2) Describe to us what you want. A photograph, sample, or catalog reference would help. With your permission, we will obtain a frame for you. We will describe it for you before we buy it. If the frame costs more than our standard frame style, we will charge you for the difference. We will tell you the additional cost before we buy it.
