Shop – FAQ

Below you can find the most frequently asked questions in regards to the webshop. If you can’t find the information you are looking for, please refer to the Contact page where you can submit your questions.

Will I have to pay import duties on items purchased from your website?

All orders destined for any destination other than Iceland, will not have VAT charged during checkout. When such orders arrive in the destination country, you might be required to pay VAT, import duties and/or administrative fees. It is your responsibility to pay these charges. It’s also important to verify that the VAT and import duties are correctly charged. In many countries, there is a lower VAT rate for books for example.

In some cases you might not have to pay VAT, import duties and/or administrative fees:

When ordering fine art prints or calendars, each order is fulfilled within the region you are located in (if possible). Prints for destinations within the EU, UK and US are printed within the same region. This means there are no import duties on those orders.
Some regions might not impose import duties on printed books.

We currently accept payments via the myPOS payment provider. We accept the most popular payment methods such as, but not limited to, …

Visa (via myPOS)

Which currency are you using in your shop?

The prices in my webshop are listed in either Euro, US Dollar, British Pounds or Icelandic Króna. This is automatically determined by your location but can also be changed during checkout. Most, but not all, payment methods are available for all currencies. Prices in currencies other than Icelandic Króna are updated on an hourly basis depending on the exchange rate. The base currency of this store is Icelandic Króna.

Are prices shown with VAT included?

All prices shown are with VAT included. When you select a country other than Iceland during checkout, prices will be shown with zero rate VAT during checkout. Please note that you are likely to pay VAT in your own country upon import.

My credit card payment is failing to go through. What's happening?

In most cases, issues with credit card payments are related to 3D Secure. This is a new security method which is active for every card. If you experience any issues, please send a message and Jeroen will try to find a solution for you.

I need an invoice. Can I get one?

Yes, you can after you placed the order and paid for it. Please send a message via the contact page with your order ID and Jeroen will send you one.

Do you ship worldwide?

All prints are shipped worldwide at a flat rate of 1500ISK with DHL.

All books are shipped wherever Pósturinn, the Icelandic Post, ships. This is pretty much everywhere in the world. The shipping cost is automatically calculated by Pósturinn during the checkout process. Import duties might apply when the package arrives in the destination country.

All calendars are printed and shipped from the nearest fulfilment centre for your region. Shipping costs are calculated based on where the calendar will be shipped from.

Why does my order with a print and a book/calendar have two shipping options?

Prints are shipped from a different location than where I ship calendars and books from. For example, if your order contains a print and a book and/or calendar, you will get free shipping for the print and will be charged shipping for the book(s) and/or calendar(s).

Where do you ship the products from?

Prints are fulfilled and shipped from within the EU & the United Kingdom. They are shipped using DHL. If you are located outside of the EU or the United Kingdom, you might have to pay VAT, import duties and/or administrative fees. However, there are some countries who have exemptions for limited edition fine art prints.

Books are always shipped from Iceland. They are shipped using the Icelandic Post (Pósturinn). This means you are likely going to have to pay VAT, import duties and/or administrative fees.

E-books are digital products and are not shipped.

Calendars are fulfilled and shipped from the nearest fulfilment centre:

The A4-sized photo calendar is printed on-demand & shipped regionally when located in the EU, Australia, Brazil, Chile, India, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, & the United Kingdom. Orders made in Iceland will be shipped locally while stock lasts.
The letter-sized photo calendar is printed on-demand & shipped regionally when located in North America.

When will I get my order?

When shipping out calendars and books, it usually takes 1-2 days top fulfilling the order after which it is shipped out using the Icelandic Post (Pósturinn).

When ordering prints, it takes 2-3 days to fulfill an order after which it is shipped out using DHL.

Digital goods, such as e-books, are made available right away. Please be advised that delays are always possible due to COVID-19 or other circumstances. Orders made during holiday periods or sale days, such as Black Friday, can mean longer delivery times.

Europe: 6–8 business days
