A Manscapes Gallery purchase or information request begins with an e-Invoice. Throughout Manscapes Galleries, every image page includes the sizes and prices in which the image is offered - hyperlinked to a very brief form requiring only an email address to generate a "no-obligation" e-Invoice with full details and a payment link. Collectors are encouraged to submit those requests at any time they find an image of particular iinterest, since Manscapes e-Invoices also contain a hyperlink back to that image allowing an easy return for later review and consideration by the gallery visitor.

Manscapes accepts the following types of payment via secure internet connection: VISA, MASTERCARD, AMERICAN EXPRESS, OPTIMA, DISCOVER, e-Check (paper draft created from your computer but printed and deposited remotely by Manscapes) and PayPal (from funds on deposit, credit card or ACH transfer from your checking account). Sorry. Manscapes no longer accepts paper checks by snail mail.

Artists' or photographers' signatures are required only on prints included in a limited edition - both to signify that an individual print matches his original "artist's proof" and that it's number within his stated limit is true and correct. Artist's signatures may also be requested on "open edition" gallery purchases, but will be included on auction items only in rare cases when specifically noted in an auction item's description. Special requests for signatures on auction items not so specified cannot be accommodated. Placement of an artist's or photographer's signature may often be requested by the collector either "en face" (front) or "verso" (back). Since some prints are borderless or printed on photographic paper that makes en face signatures awkward or impossible, Manscapes e-Invoices will specify the signature position(s) available at buyer option.

Mounting, matting & framing services are not currently offered by Manscapes Galleries. All prints are shipped unmounted in an archival, polypropylene sleeve. While some types of prints may be rolled for shipment in a tube, most are carefully boxed and shipped flat.

Shipping within the U. S. is fast and inexpensive, always includes Delivery Confirmation when available and generally adds just $2 for USPS MEDIA MAIL, $5 for PRIORITY MAIL, $7 for Airmail to Canada, $9 for most other countries. Same day shipping is likely if a paid order for in stock items is received by noon, U. S. Eastern Standard Time. Please allow two to five weeks for custom printing of fine art images. Our online Order Form allows buyers or auction winners to specify a preferredx method of shipping and estimated cost. On rare occasions, when the method or cost requested cannot be accommodated, Manscapes staff will contact the buyer with a ful explanation.

Our product guarantee is simple: if you are not absolutely satisfied for any reason, simply return your purchase TO THE EXACT LOCATION FROM WHICH IT WAS ORIGINALLY SHIPPED TO YOU! - in the same condition it was received and within ten days of its arrival - for a full refund of the purchase price - INCLUDING WHATEVER YOU WERE CHARGED FOR SHIPPING. (You assume only the cost of the item's safe return.) That's it. No ifs, ands or butts. (sic)

Under internet exemptions granted by Act of Congress, Manscapes must collect sales tax only for items shipped to addresses in the U. S. State of Massachusetts

All photographic prints offered for sale at Manscapes Galleries are described in selling information just below the display of the image. When the word "archival" is included in a description - as it is in most cases - the meaning is that under normal and reasonable treatment, (i.e., limited exposure to strong light such as sunlight or to corrosive fumes), the print can be expected to maintain it's original and intended color, tone, contrast and intensity for many, many years. (Actual archival life may vary considerably based on the specific media, chemistry and washing time of a particular print.) Items offeed at auction are sometimes printed on resin coated papers rather than what is generally considered to be archival quality fibre or other higher qualiy photogaphic papers. Yet even those "proof prints" or "scanning prints" may be expected to last a very long time, as photographic print technology has come a long way in more than a century.

Workshop reservations are not confirmed until paid in full and may not be cancelled or refunded without thirty days' notice.
