Large canvas prints

4 years 11 months ago #642932 by Amy Porter
Anyone offering shipping on large canvas prints over 40x60".  I'm going to start selling my prints to offices and hospitals around here and need to figure out a way to cut cost down to maximize my profits.

Can I assume you meant to say free shipping? Because everyone offers shipping.  But larger prints with free shipping doesn't exist.

Free shipping is usually seasonal with print companies.

By which you mean to say, shipping is built into the price of the product, so the customer can pretend their getting a deal?

I would suggest the OP look around and compare offerings. Possibly order a small test product to check quality. And then price accordingly.

"Deals" are not always what they seem, IMO.

Of course it is Gary.  Fedex isn't giving these folks any free breaks.  If the OP checks around, they'll find CanvasHQ is one of the better priced places and quality.  

OP - Gary makes a good point about looking around.  Only then, can you appreciate one "Deal" from another.

This will be a good reference on the subject:  https://www.photographytalk.com/best-canvas-print-company-2019-100-secret-shopper-print-shootout

Look around as Gary pointed out, secret shop these canvas companies and ask a ton of questions about the grade of canvas they are using, inks, the framing they use, etc.  

CanvasHQ is an advertiser on PhotographyTalk, however they earned every bit of praise.  I think if you secret shop, or even compare them yourself, you'll very likely come to the same conclusion.  

Hope this helps!
