In addition to the postage
fee charged by Valor Studios your postal service may charge an import/VAT
tax depending on how your government handles products imported from the United
States. Any customs duties or special taxes levied by individual countries
or governments will be the sole responsibility of the purchaser. If there
is a charge, it will be based on the package insurance value which we declare
at full retail price.
We follow all US customs
guidelines as outlined by the United States Postal Service so we will not
declare items at less than their purchase price.
The cost to ship internationally
has increased almost monthly. If you wish to explore less expensive shipping
options please email
and we will see what other options are available.

costs as low as possible. This service can take over 3 weeks for delivery.

Payment
plans are available on prints and collectibles valued at $145 and above and
can be started by emailing
or calling our office.
The Valor Studios
no-interest payment plan is as follows:
We will take a credit card on file (you can contact us via email or phone
to supply the card information- card number, expiration date and security
code will needed) and then we run an equal payment each month on/around
the 15th of the month. Once the print is paid in full we will process
and ship it to the address you’ve provided. Payment plans may take
up to 14 days from the last payment to ship. If you need it for a special
event or holiday please contact us before the final payment is run to
see about expediting the processing time.
Payments can be calculated by taking the retail price of the print plus
the s/h and any taxes (CO residents add 4%) and dividing it by the number
of months you’d like to have a plan. We offer up to a 6 month plan.
When the 15th occurs
on a weekend or holiday we will process payments on the next business
day we are in the office.
Please see the “insurance” section for information regarding
purchasing additional insurance if your print has appreciated during the
payment plan.
Once payments start
they are non-refundable and non-transferable to other prints. If you have
to cancel for any reason there will be no refunds.

The print
you buy from Valor Studios has been in some remarkable hands. During a signing,
a typical print is passed from veteran to veteran, often a dozen or more times.
The WWII veterans we work with are between 87 and 98 years of age. For their
diminishing eyesight and dexterity that comes with age, they do remarkably
good work.
Invariably during this handling process, a print will pick up minor “battle
damage.” An occasional speckle, a lead dot, a dimple, a slight pencil
smudge, sometimes a veteran will go to pass a print and leave a thumb print
or an indentation.
Rest assured, we hand-inspect each print to make sure that these unique features
(and they are unique!) do not impact the viewing quality of the art when it’s
framed, nor will they affect the print’s value since “battle damage”
is part of the process in adding so many historic signatures. If anything,
this “battle damage” serves to authenticate that the signatures
were hand signed and that your print was handled by some of the greatest heroes
the United States has ever produced. |

During
Valor Studios' humble beginnings, we compensated our veteran signers by giving
each several thousand dollars worth of prints and an all expenses paid reunion
with their comrades.
In the ensuing years, as Valor Studios grew, we were finally able to pay the
veterans for their efforts with a cash honorarium IN ADDITION to continuing
their payment in art prints. In 2010 alone, Valor Studios put more than $100,000
in the hands of the veterans who sign our products!
For many of our signers, working with Valor Studios provides them with their
only source of income outside of social security. Know that when you purchase
an item from Valor Studios, you're not only supporting an all-American family
business, but also the veterans who sign our products. This
is why many of the veterans have been working with us over the course of a
decade and still do so today. |

Valor Studios
recommends that all hand signed items be displayed or stored using archival
quality, acid free materials. When framing art/photographs/posters, we recommend
locating a framer who is familiar with archival framing, has a storefront
so you can see examples of their work, is not a big box framer, and has full
insurance in the event an accident occurs while framing your item.
UV glass/acrylic
and acid free framing materials must be used to protect the image and signatures.
Fading can occur even if an item is not displayed in direct sunlight (even
a light bulb omits UV rays) so UV protected glass/acrylic is necessary.
In order
to retain full value of your item, your art or collectible should be able
to be removed from its frame and still be in the same original condition as
it was when purchased from Valor Studios.
If you decide
to store one of our art prints/collectibles without getting it framed, then
we recommend flat storage in either an acid free art sleeve or between pieces
of acid free foam core. The item should be stored in a dark and dry location,
several inches off the floor. We do not recommend storing prints/posters/photos
in tubes for any extended length of time. |
