Artona Photo Order Update

Due to the recent Canada Post strike, we have made some changes to our services and how we are delivering photo packages. We have included an outline of these changes below, along with answers to some common questions you may get from students and families.

School Day Orders

All bulk school deliveries that were due this week were shipped before the strike. All mail to home orders placed up until September 19th were also shipped. We are hopeful those deliveries made it in time. However, if you are still waiting on a delivery that was due this week, please let your account representative know. https://artona.com/contact-us

All school day orders placed after September 19th that would normally be shipped to home have been set aside at our studio. Our team will be delivering these packages in batches to your school via Purolator or by us in person. We greatly appreciate your support in helping to distribute these packages to students and families.

Stuck or Missing Orders

If any students or parents have a missing or stuck in transit order, please have them contact our Customer Service Team. Our team will work to find a solution — we do not want our families to go without their photos.

We greatly appreciate your support during this time and will be in touch if there are any other changes or updates. If you have any further questions please reach out at https://artona.com/contact-us
