Shipping Huge Sizes Domestically
Any map you buy on Outlook Maps can be shipped domestically.
However, Huge sized maps that must be shipped flat (mounted map or framed map), are not available for any expedited shipping methods. This size can only be shipped through "GROUND" shipping, and will be shipped to you via domestic freight which requires 2-3 week shipping time.
International Map Shipping
Generally, we can ship our maps globally.
Maps shipped internationally (including shipments to Canada) will be shipped through USPS Priority International, with transit times of 6-10 business days depending on country of destination.
International Shipping Rates
International shipping rates are determined automatically based on the dollar amount of the order.
For example, here are some sample rates based on map sizes and finishing options:
Small Size - Laminated Map | $24.99 |
Small Size - Framed Map | $39.99 |
Medium Size - Laminated Map | $24.99 |
Medium Size - Framed Map | $59.99 |
Large Size - Laminated Map | $39.99 |
Large Size - Framed Map | $59.99 |
Huge Size - Paper Map | $49.99 |
Huge Size - Laminated Map | $59.99 |
Shipping rates to Canada are $5.00 less than the standard international rates above.
International Size Restrictions
Different countries of destination have different size restrictions. Maps that must be shipped flat (framed maps or mounted maps) are the most restrictive, while maps that can be rolled in tubes are less restrictive.
Before ordering a large map or a framed/mounted map to be shipped internationally, it is wise to first contact us and provide the details of the map you intend to order and destination so we can confirm that shipment will be possible.
The following chart details the likelihood that the international shipment is possible based on the size and finish of the map:
Paper | Laminated | Hang Rail | Mounted | Framed | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Small | guaranteed | guaranteed | guaranteed | very likely | very likely |
Medium | very likely | very likely | very likely | possibly | possibly |
Large | very likely | very likely | possibly | possibly | possibly |
Huge | possibly | possibly | possibly | unlikely | unlikely |
Mural | unlikely | unlikely | unlikely | N/A | N/A |
International Taxes and Duties
All of our international map shipments include a declaration of the value and description of the shipment. Compliance with any value-added taxes or duties is the sole responsibility of the buyer.
Due to complexity of tax laws and variation between countries, we cannot offer any additional advice or information regarding whether or not such fees will be required or on the amount of such fees.
