Ordering and Shipping
FILMPOSTERS.COM: specializes in authentic, original movie posters, lobby cards and Hollywood memorabilia. Unlike the glossy reprints and reproductions that are available in countless retail outlets and on-line venues, we deal only in the actual, theater-used advertising materials that were produced in limited quantities for display when the film was released. We do not sell reproductions of any kind. While some web sites employ stock images and offer special orders (i.e., they don't actually have the item but will try to locate one for you), every item on our site is in stock and available for immediate sale.
HOW TO ORDER:
You may order directly from our web site using our secure server or place your order by phone (631-421-7203) during our business hours (11am - 6pm EST, Tues-Sat). Shipping charges are calculated on an individual basis for each order, depending on items purchased and destination.
PAYMENT OPTIONS:
We accept Visa, MasterCard and Paypal. Please note that credit card charges will appear on your bill under the merchant “John Hazelton Posters”. You may also make payment by check or money order (drawn in U.S. funds). Please note: when sending payment in the form of check or money order, make payable to John Hazelton Posters, NOT Filmposters.com.
