custom pricing

Prices for my custom made puzzles are based on the size of the puzzle, in square inches. The pcs I cut average 1.6 per square inch. No 2 puzzles are cut alike and there is no way to estimate exactly how many pcs a puzzle will end up with.

Prices effective as of 11/09/08

(was $1.20 per square inch)
NOW $1.00 per square inch!

Here is an example for an 8" x 10" puzzle:

"Traditional" style
 An 8" x 10" puzzle made from a print or other image

 was $96.00
128 pieces (+/- 10 pcs approx.)

NOW $80.00

If however, your print is a size other than 8 x 10, here is a short list of popular size prints and how much they would cost to cut. These do not represent all print or picture sizes and I can give a free quote for any oddball size puzzle you might be considering.

(PLEASE TAKE NOTE!) The number of pieces estimated in the chart above are for puzzles with square borders, maximum number of figure pieces, and NO special border treatments or drop out spaces.

Round or other odd-shaped puzzles will be calculated using the longest vertical and horizontal dimensions. Odd-shaped puzzles, or puzzles with special border treatments (sculpted borders) will inevitably end up with fewer overall pieces since there will be a smaller area to cut pieces from.

Missouri residents are required to add 5.225% sales tax on to all orders. All orders are to be pre-paid in the form of a money order, personal check or by Paypal (U.S.funds drawn from U.S. bank). Checks may be held 10 days for clearance.

Shipping costs and delivery times
A basic shipping cost of $9.95 will be added to all single puzzle orders and an additional $3.00 for each puzzle thereafter. Insurance is already included for shipments with a value of $100.00 or less. For packages valued at $100.00 or more, insurance is added, based on the value of the shipment. All packages are shipped via UPS or USPS. Ground delivery (3-5 business day) is what I use. If you require a package to be delivered sooner or if you want it EXPEDITED, UPS 2-DAY or OVERNIGHT delivery is available for an additional $10.00 + the actual cost of shipping.

Most of the puzzles I make can be delivered in 3-4 weeks from the time I recieve your picture or print and payment. Larger puzzles or multiple puzzle orders may take longer, depending on my work load. Please be aware that these puzzles are very popular items for Xmas and any Yuletide orders MUST be in no later than November 1st, to have any chance of timely delivery.
