Photography FAQ
How are your pictures printed?
All photo orders are custom cropped and adjusted for optimum contrast and color balance. Images are printed on a professional grade photo printer on ultra premium photographic paper. Photos are printed with a glossy finish. The purchased prints are intended for non-commercial display. The images are copyrighted and can not be legally copied or duplicated without proper authorization from Horsepower Photography.
How can I pay? What methods of payment do you accept?
All photo orders must be paid in full before delivery. Payment methods accepted are cash, Interac E-Transfer, credit card online, or credit card over the phone.
How do I receive my photos? How long does it take?
Photo prints are typically shipped within one (1) business day of receipt of payment. Mail orders are shipped via Canada Post. You will be contacted via E-mail once your order has been shipped. If you have a rush order, call us during normal business hours to discuss your needs. We will always do our best to fill your request.
Digital picture files are available for download immediately after receipt of payment. Download links will be provided after the checkout process (Paypal or Credit Card) or E-mailed once the payment is processed (E-transfer, cash).
There is a shipping charge of $3.00 per order applied at time of checkout. There is no shipping charge for downloaded files.
I am not satisfied with my pictures. What do I do?
On photograph orders, each order is custom-printed, therefore we cannot offer refunds on filled orders. We do, however, want you to be completely satisfied with your order. If you have a complaint about your order, call or E-mail us, and we will work with you to come to a satisfactory solution.
On digital file orders, note that photos on the site are un-edited. If you purchase a digital file of your picture, and the photo requires touch up (framing, color, contrast, etc), you will receive an edited copy of your photo in a separate email shortly after ordering.
