Photos will crop differently when ordering multiple sizes of the same photo. Please be sure to check your cropping when ordering. Cropped is edge-to-edge but may not include the entire photo. Uncropped is the whole photo but smaller than the paper size with white bars. When choosing matte or glossy in the cart, please be sure to click on Update after you have made your choice. Normal processing time is 2 to 3 business days. Not all sizes ship together.
