Frequently asked questions

The prints

What sizes and frames are available?

Three sizes: 8×10, 11×14 and 16×20 inches. Three real wood frames: red oak, black and white. Every frame comes with a protective acrylite front and hanging hardware.

What paper do you use?

Enhanced matte paper, 189 gsm, archival quality. It’s the paper museums use for reproductions, with a soft, non-reflective finish that suits watercolor.

Which languages can I choose?

English, Spanish, German, French, Italian and Portuguese. The country name and the animal name change with the language; the illustration stays the same.

Is my country available?

We have 29 countries today and add new ones every month. If yours is missing, or you want a different animal, write to us and we’ll design it for you at no extra cost. Requests decide what we illustrate next.

Are the illustrations accurate?

Each animal is the officially recognized national animal, or the most widely accepted one when a country has no official designation. Every product page includes a real fact about the animal.

Orders and shipping

How long does delivery take?

Each print is produced on demand: 2 to 5 business days to print and frame, then 3 to 8 business days in transit depending on your country. Most orders arrive within two weeks.

Where do you ship?

Worldwide. Prints are produced in the United States, Europe or Australia depending on your address, which keeps shipping faster and cheaper. Shipping cost is calculated at checkout.

Can I send it as a gift?

Yes. Add a note at checkout and we’ll ship directly to the recipient without pricing on the packing slip.

Can I change or cancel my order?

You can cancel or change an order within 12 hours of placing it by writing to hello@mynationalanimal.com. After that the print is already in production.

Returns

What if my print arrives damaged?

Send us a photo within 14 days of delivery and we’ll reprint and reship it free of charge. No need to send the damaged one back.

Can I return a print I don’t like?

Because every print is made to order, we can’t accept returns for change of mind. If there’s a mistake on our side, such as the wrong language or size, we replace it at no cost.
