Shipping is charged per order for print-only orders, and per frame unit for framed orders. Print-only rates are flat regardless of print size.

Framed orders
Framed and mounted orders ship per frame unit at a rate set by size band and destination: five bands up to 40″ × 30″ (102 × 76 cm), then three crated bands delivered by specialist carrier — XL1 up to 40″ × 50″, XL2 up to 50″ × 60″, XL3 up to 50″ × 75″ (127 × 191 cm). The current figures for every band and destination are on the theprintspace price page (Dropshipping → Delivery). Above 50″ × 75″ delivery is by quote.
DDP: import duty, GST and handling fee
The flat rates above are the shipping cost only. For destinations where you've enabled DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), additional import charges are added to the order on top of the shipping rate so the customer doesn't get a separate customs bill on delivery.
When DDP is enabled for a destination country, each order also carries:
- Import duty — calculated live per order.
- GST / sales tax — calculated live per order.
- Courier handling fee — a flat fee per order, charged in your account currency:
- GBP: £6.24.
- EUR: €7.11.
- USD: $7.49.
Duty and GST are computed at order time from the production value and shipping charge, so they vary by destination, product value and tax rate. The handling fee is fixed per order at the rates above.
DDP charges only apply where you've turned DDP on for that country. If DDP is off, the order ships duty-unpaid (DAP) and the customer may be billed import charges by the carrier on delivery.
If you've seen a per-order handling figure around 16 / 18 / 22, that is not the handling fee. The correct courier handling fee is 6.24 / 7.11 / 7.49 in GBP / EUR / USD.
Setting customer-facing rates
You can charge your customers whatever shipping rate you wish on your storefront. The figures above are theprintspace's wholesale rate to you. Common patterns:
- Pass-through (charge customer the same).
- Marked-up (cover support overhead).
- Free shipping baked into the print price.
Match the strategy to your audience and price point. If you enable DDP, remember that duty, GST and the handling fee are added to your cost per order on top of the flat shipping rate.
