Overview
Missing the free postage deadline does not stop you ordering — it means free school delivery is no longer available. You can still purchase prints and downloads, but your order will be sent to your home address with a delivery charge added at checkout.
How it works
- The online shop remains open after the deadline (usually for many months).
- Checkout automatically applies home delivery and the associated postage fee.
- Prints are produced to the same quality standards as school-batch orders.
- Orders are packaged securely and despatched by courier to the address you enter.
- Allow approximately 5–10 working days for home delivery after your order is processed.
Common issues / Troubleshooting
- Expected free school delivery — if you ordered after the deadline, home delivery is correct; the confirmation email shows your chosen method.
- Delivery charge seems high — fees are set by the photographer; ordering multiple items in one transaction shares one delivery cost.
- Child changed school — home delivery to your current address is often simpler after a deadline anyway.
Tips
- Order sooner rather than later — the shop closes eventually, and popular products may become unavailable.
- Double-check your delivery address — courier parcels cannot be redirected to school after the batch has closed.
- Consider digital downloads for immediate use while waiting for prints to arrive.
Tip: Missing the deadline is common — home delivery is a reliable way to receive the same prints at your door.
