Frequently Asked Questions
How do I place a custom order?
Simply enter your chosen location when adding the product to your cart — this can be a full address, landmark, city, or coordinates. Add your plaque text (names, dates, or a short message) and we handle the rest.
Shipping & Delivery
How long will my order take?
Custom orders are dispatched within 2–4 working days. Add Royal Mail/DPD delivery time on top:
- UK: 1–3 days after dispatch
- Europe: 5–10 days after dispatch
- US/Canada: 7–14 days after dispatch
Do you ship internationally?
Yes — we ship worldwide via DPD.
Will I get tracking information?
Yes. A tracking number is emailed to you at the point of dispatch.
I need it by a specific date — is that possible?
During peak periods (Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day) we recommend ordering at least 3 weeks in advance.
Returns & Issues
Can I return my order?
Custom and personalised orders are non-returnable except in the case of damage or production error. Please see our full Returns Policy for details.
My item arrived damaged — what do I do?
Photograph the damage immediately and email contact@anyplaceintime.com within 48 hours of delivery with your order number and photos. We will arrange a full remake or refund.
There's an error on my plaque — what do I do?
If the error was made by us, we will remake at no cost. If the error was in the details you submitted, we will do our best to help but cannot guarantee a free remake. Contact us as soon as possible.
I entered the wrong location — can you fix it?
Contact us immediately. If production hasn't begun we can correct it. Once printing has started we are unable to make changes without restarting the order, which may incur an additional charge.
How precise is the location?
Every Custom Location Frame is printed at 1:12000 scale, capturing a 1.2 km diameter area centred exactly on the coordinates you provide. What you see is what that place genuinely looks like from above — roads, buildings, paths included.
Can I preview my design before it's made?
We don't currently offer live previews, but if you're unsure about your location framing, email us before ordering and we can confirm the exact area that will be captured.
What can I put on the plaques?
Anything you like within character limits. Typically customers use:
- Top plaque: names, place name, or event ("Our First Home")
- Bottom plaque: coordinates, date, or short message
Can I order without any plaque text?
Yes — simply leave the plaque fields blank at checkout and the frame will ship without engraved text.
Can I change my order after placing it?
Contact us immediately at contact@anyplaceintime.com with your order number. We begin production within 24 hours, so changes cannot be guaranteed but we will always try.
What size is the frame?
The overall frame dimensions are 20 x 15cm. The printed model inside is 18 x 13cm, with a circular map section of 10cm diameter.
What materials are used?
Frame: powder-coated MDF (black, white, or oak finish)
3D printed model: *Biodegradable Matte Black PLA
Plaques: Black Anodised Aluminium
Pin: PLA printed in colour (red, gold, or white depending on style)
*Biodegradable Under Specific Recycling Conditions
Will it look exactly like the product photos?
The style and quality will be consistent, but every piece is unique due to the handmade nature of production. Minor variations in print texture are normal and add to the character of each piece. Location content will obviously differ based on your chosen area.
How durable is it?
PLA is a rigid, stable material suitable for indoor display. Keep out of direct prolonged sunlight and away from heat sources above 50°C to maintain shape and colour over time.
Can I get a larger size?
Not currently. We are developing larger format pieces — sign up to our newsletter to be notified when new sizes launch.
