My order didn't arrive, what now?

Look for the tracking number in your shipment confirmation email. You should be able to see where your package is in transit. If you've lost your tracking number, let us know and we can look it up. If a package is lost in transit, it can typically be tracked down by talking to your local post office. If your order can't be located at all, please send us an email here with your order number, and we will send you a new order.

Can you make custom city maps?

We currently do not offer custom maps.

Can you do custom sizes or colors?

Currently, we do not offer custom sizes or colors. We screenprint the maps by hand, which makes size and color difficult to adjust for a single order. We do hope to find a way to offer this in the future. 

Where's my city map?

We are constantly working on adding more cities. Because of our intensive research and design process, each city takes about a month to complete. We want to put the best maps possible out there. We’ll be ramping up production this next year, so definitely keep an eye out. Be sure to cast your vote for the next city here. We use that to decide which city to create next!

What sizes do your prints come in?

Our print sizes are 18"x24" and 16"x20", perfect for standard framing sizes.

How should I frame the map?

You can choose from one of our handcrafted frame options above. Or, check out our blog post here to see our favorite affordable frames on the internet.

Can you include glass or plexi with the frame?

Our Craftsman frames do not come with glass, however they are easily adapted for glass. You can find a piece of glass or plexi at your local frame shop, hardware store, or online. The depth of the frame easily fits a layer of glass. Please note, the Craftsman frames are designed to fit our print sizes which are 18" x 24" and 16"x20".

I sent an email and never heard back.

We do our best to respond to emails promptly! We usually don't respond on weekends, and it may take a day or two for us to get back to you. Things get busy around here from time to time, and we appreciate your patience! Always feel free to send us another message to follow up. 

Can I pick up locally?

We do not have an official store front, we work out of a private studio building in Knoxville, TN. However, if we're available, we're happy to have customers pick-up in person. To coordinate a pick-up, reach out to studio@nativemaps.us.
