GENERAL ORDERING QUESTIONS

How do I place an order for my photo?

Once you find your photo, you can place your order by clicking on the thumbnail-sized proof. This will bring you to a shopping cart where you will enter the print size and quantity for that particular image. Select your image, choose your product, and add it to the shopping cart. Repeat these steps if you would like to order more than one image.

The deadline to order has passed; can I still purchase my photos?

Yes, you may still order your photos. After the ordering deadline is passed, your photos go into our archives for up to 5 years. An archive fee may apply.

Will my shopping cart be saved if I don’t place an order right away?

Your shopping cart may be saved if you have cookies enabled or you create an account and save your cart.

When will my credit card be charged?

Your credit card will be charged once your order is placed.

I am having trouble placing an international order; what can I do?

If you are having difficulty placing an order with a credit card issued from a non-US bank or shipping your photos outside the U.S., please contact our Customer Support Department at 1.855.274.9299. We can assist you in placing your final order.

IMAGING PROCESSING & CUSTOMER SERVICE

Is there a difference in the quality of proof images compared to the final photo products?

Yes, the proof images are low resolution and have not been corrected in any way. The final photo products are printed at a much higher resolution and are corrected individually for color and density.

How will the photograph be cropped on the final print products?

The cropping varies based on the different print sizes. You may crop your image on our website using our free cropping tool. Cropping will be slightly different from the proof size image.

How do you protect my credit card information?

We are certified by First Data to utilize the best practices for security of credit card information. Your information is encrypted to prevent unauthorized use. All spaces where the information resides have limited access and the access is granted based on fingerprint. We are also in compliance with Payment Card Industry standards.

SHIPPING INFORMATION

When should I receive my online photo order? How will it be delivered?

Prints are normally shipped within 48 hours of receipt. You should receive the order via US Mail within one week, unless your order is a specialty item or you selected FedEx shipping. If you have placed an order at an event, please check with the photographer.

Will my entire order come in one shipment?

Photos will be shipped in one package, except for larger sized prints, such as group photos, which will arrive separately. Any custom products, plaques, tassel frames, or framed prints will be sent out as separate shipments.

My order has not arrived; who should I contact?

Please contact our Customer Support Department at 1.855.274.9299 and a representative will assist you in locating your order.

Luster photos are printed on standard Kodak photo paper. These photos have a matte photo finish.

What does “laminated” mean?

Laminated photos are printed on Kodak Professional Endura Matte photo paper. A thin plastic coating is added for a protective glossy finish and prevents any tearing, fading, water, and finger print damage.

Metallic photos are printed on Kodak Professional Endura Metallic photo paper. This creates a metallic appearance with vibrant colors.

What is the resolution size of the digital image? Is this the highest resolution you offer?

Our photographers offer various file sizes; please check with your photographer for the highest resolution.

What type of customization can I put on my products?

Depending on the product you select, you can include a variety of customization options. Most products include individual’s name, school or league name, and year.

Can packages be split between different poses?

Our photo packages are designed to provide you with the best value and give you the most for your money. Value packages consist of multiple copies of a single pose and cannot be split between multiple poses. However, if you order a mix-and-match photo package, you will be able to choose multiple images.

I don’t like the background, can I change it?

If your child was photographed on a “green screen”, a solid blue or solid bright green background, you have the option of choosing from hundreds of different backgrounds online. Otherwise, a background change is considered custom retouching. Please contact a customer service representative at 1.855.274.9299 for further assistance.

SCHOOL PICTURE DAY INFORMATION

I don’t like any of the photos. Can my child have another sitting?

A retake day may be scheduled at the school, which should be listed on your school’s event calendar. All underclass retakes are free of charge. Please contact your photographer for further assistance.

How do I select my yearbook pose?

If you are given the opportunity to choose your own yearbook photo, there will be specific instructions on how to do so. If you pick a photo outside of the instructed parameters, TSS Photography reserves the right to choose a different image.

Does my yearbook pose and the pose I order have to be the same?

No, you can purchase different poses from the pose chosen for the yearbook.

What is my yearbook deadline?

Your yearbook deadline is typically determined by your school.
