Order
How can I order products?
Simply click on add to cart for the product(s) of your choosing. You will find the ‘add to cart’ button on the bottom of the product image when viewing product lists or on the right side of the product page. A success message will appear which also contains a link to the cart. You can also go to the cart by clicking on the blue button in the upper right corner and then click ‘view cart’.
When finished adding products to the cart you can click on the cart button in the upper right corner and then click checkout. Or when you are viewing the cart, by clicking checkout on the bottom right.
You then enter the screen to enter your information. You can checkout as a guest, create a account, or log in to your account if you are a returning customer. Simply follow the steps by entering your information, selecting a shipping method and payment method and then confirm your order. Depending on your choice of a payment method, you will either be directed to a payment screen (so you can pay for your order) or receive a payment link or information on how to transfer your payment to us.
Can I cancel my order?
Only if the order hasn’t been shipped yet. As there is a delay between the actual shipping and us sending you a shipping notification, not having received a shipping notification does not necessarily mean that you are still able to cancel your order.
If you wish to cancel your order please send an email to info@orcraphics.com with your order number as quickly as possible.
I wanted to cancel my order but I was too late, what now?
You may return the order when you receive it. You will be responsible for the return shipment, including the cost of the return shipment and the risk of it getting lost.
For more information, visit our Return Policy page.
Can I change my order?
Only if the order hasn’t been shipped yet. As there is a delay between the actual shipping and us sending you a shipping notification, not having received a shipping notification does not necessarily mean that you are still able to change your order.
If you wish to change your order please send an email to info@orcraphics.com with your order number and the changes you would like to make as quickly as possible. If it is possible to change the order, you may make any changes you wish. You may add or deduct products or change the amount of products ordered. This however, may impact shipping costs to be either higher or lower than already paid. If the amount paid is insufficient, we will send you a payment link. If the amount paid is lower than the amount due, we will issue a partial refund (if not possible with the selected payment method, we will simply refund the difference by bank transfer).

Will I need to pay import taxes?
The customer is responsible for any applicable import taxes. Within the EU no import taxes of any kind apply. Outside the EU it will differ per country. However, most countries have a threshold amount. As long as the order amount is below that threshold, no import taxes are levied. You will find the threshold per country on our Shipping Costs & Delivery page. If your country is not listed, please contact us through the Contact Form or by sending an email to info@orcraphics.com.
Do I need to be home to accept the package?
No, we ship through regular postal services, not parcel services. So you will not receive a track and trace code or be able to follow your order. If your order is too large to ship through postal services, we may split up your order. The costs of the extra shipment(s) are paid by us. If you have an incredibly large order that would need a large amount of shipments, we will upgrade your shipping to parcel services for free.
