Shopping Help

Do I have to order online? Are there other ordering options?

You do not have to order online. You may mail, fax or phone your order. You may place everything in your Shopping Cart and print it out. The printed form may then be mailed, faxed or used to phone in your order.

Is my order secure?

Yes. We use a secure server which encrypts all of your information so that it is safe.

What form of payment do you accept?

For all orders we accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. For orders that are mailed, we also accept personal and business checks, money orders and COD in addition to the above mentioned credit cards. COD orders may also be mailed, faxed or phoned in.

Are the prices listed in American dollars?
Yes.
How do I purchase a downloadable product?(E-books, Instant Framing Answers, etc.)
A product that will be downloaded is purchased exactly like a product that would be shipped. Add it to your cart, enter payment information and click Submit Order. The difference is after payment is made. On the Thank You screen, the title of the product will turn into a hyperlink with an underline. Click on the hyperlink and follow the directions found here.

Books & Videos Help

Are the videos available in PAL?

Yes. We can convert our videos to PAL. (They were shot in NTSC.)
 
What is NTSC and PAL?
NTSC is the broadcast standard for American television. PAL is the broadcast standard for television for many other countries. Our videos were shot in NTSC.
 
Why is converting from NTSC to PAL an issue?
Due to inherent differences (different frame rates, color standards, etc.) between the PAL and NTSC standards, some quality is lost in the conversion.
 
What languages are your books available in?
English is the only language in which our books are printed.
 
What region are the DVDs? Will they work internationally?
Our DVDs are region-free. They will work internationally.
 
Should I get the books or the videos?
It depends. The books are a great reference and are easy to grab when you need a quick answer. If it is easier for you to learn by watching something being done, then the video may be a better choice. Ideally, getting both the books and video are the best way to learn -- you can see the procedure being done and you have the book to reference the step-by-step procedures.
 
I am new to picture framing. What do you recommend?
