We offer free tracked shipping on (almost) all of our wall art (except some of our older products which we are gradually removing in the next few months).

Successfully placed orders will receive an e-mail confirmation with the order details. If you do not receive an e-mail, please check your spam folder or contact us for confirmation.

If you need any assistance with your order, please contact us immediately at hello@grasshoppergeography.com. We will not be able to make changes to your order after it has shipped.

We always keep a few globes in stock and ready to be shipped, but in periods of high demand we might need to manufacture a new one for you. As these are premium quality, handmade items, this process generally takes around 2-4 days. In rare cases of extreme demand, production may take 2-4 weeks, and this will be transparently communicated on the product pages.

Packaging

All prints are robustly packaged. Our unframed fine art prints are hand rolled in protective tissue paper and then shipped in extra thick cardboard tubes.

Photographic prints are flat-packed in individual, white-label packets.

All framed, acrylic and canvas prints are wrapped in a protective sleeve with individual plastic or cardboard guards added to each corner. Additional cardboard is secured over the print surface to minimise the risk of breakages or transit damage. Each print is then shipped in a heavy duty cardboard box.

All globes are carefully placed in strong cardboard boxes, with two additional layers of protection between the box and the globe.

The packaging standards have been refined many times, over many years and it is now extremely rare for breakages or damage to occur. On those rare occasions when incidents do happen we strive to ensure that your replacement is shipped back out on a priority service without any fuss.

Shipping

We ship globally. (No pun intended.)

We offer free tracked shipping on (almost) all of our wall art (except some of our older products which we are gradually removing in the next few months).
