Sell prints online or at fairs without holding stock. You take the order and payment from your customer. We print, pack and ship it direct to them — with no R Young Art paperwork in the parcel.
Your customer receives a professional package. You never touch the print.
How it works
- You send us the order — size, paper, quantity and the delivery address.
- We print it, pack it and post it directly to your customer.
- Nothing in the parcel mentions R Young Art.
- You pay our trade price. You charge your customer whatever you like.
What you get
- Prints on the same Hahnemühle and Colourbyte papers, on the same Canon printer, as our retail orders
- Sleeve and backing board on every print as standard
- Tubes for A1 and A0
- No minimum order — one print per order is fine
- Turnaround of 3–5 working days from receiving your order
- Royal Mail Tracked 48 for flat-packed sizes, Parcelforce for large format
What we do not do
- Custom branded packaging — parcels are plain and unbranded, not R Young Art branded
- Packing slips with your logo — the parcel contains the print and packaging only
- Returns handling on your behalf — returns come back to you
If you need custom branded packaging or packing slips, contact us to discuss — we can accommodate this for regular volume accounts.
Pricing
Drop ship orders are priced at our standard retail rates. Volume discounts apply in the same way — 10% off for five or more prints in one order, 20% off for ten or more.
For artists placing regular volume, we are happy to discuss a trade account. Get in touch with your expected monthly volume.
How to place a drop ship order
Order through the store as normal. At checkout:
- Enter your customer's delivery address, not yours
- In the order notes field, write "Drop ship — no R Young Art branding"
- Upload your file or paste a transfer link as usual
We will never include an invoice or any R Young Art materials in a drop ship parcel.
Artwork scanning for your editions
If you work from originals and need a print-ready file first, we scan in-house. Most print studios send scanning out — we do it ourselves, which means a faster turnaround and a file you can reprint from any time. Find out about scanning.
