General info

We offer free delivery on every order, worldwide. Most orders arrive within 7 days.

100% damage free

Although almost all of my maps arrive in great condition, sadly some orders do arrive damaged.
If your order is damaged at all during delivery, I will send you a priority replacement free of charge.

Produced locally

Your map is printed in your own region: UK orders are printed in the UK, EU orders in the EU, North American orders in the USA, and Australian and New Zealand orders in Australia. That means faster delivery and no import duties.

FAQs & Returns

What is your returns & refund policy?

Every print is made to order, so we don't accept returns for change of mind. If your print arrives damaged, faulty or incorrect, email contact@themapvault.com with photos within 14 days and we'll send a free replacement. You don't need to send anything back.

Are taxes and duties included in the price?

Yes, the total price at checkout includes shipping, taxes and duties.

How long does it take for delivery?

Most orders arrive within 7 days of ordering, wherever you are. Around the holidays it can take a little longer because of carrier delays.

You'll get a tracking number and link by email as soon as your print ships.

Are frames included?

All maps at TheMapVault are unframed. We do not sell or include frames at the moment.

What type of paper are these maps printed on?

Our prints are made on premium, heavyweight matte paper using high-quality archival inks, so they'll last a lifetime and beyond.

I'm looking for a map of a specific location. Can you help me find one?

Yes! Our collection has thousands of old maps, and there are tens of thousands more we haven't restored yet. If you can't find the place you're looking for, email contact@themapvault.com and tell us what you need.

How are the prints shipped?

Your print is made by the print partner closest to you: UK orders are printed in the UK, EU orders in the EU, North American orders in the USA, and Australian and New Zealand orders in Australia.

Prints are shipped rolled in a sturdy cardboard tube, using the national postal service or a tracked courier (for example Royal Mail, USPS, La Poste or Deutsche Post).

If you'd prefer a particular carrier, email contact@themapvault.com before ordering and we'll do our best to use it.

Can I buy a digital download file?

Unfortunately we don't offer digital downloads at the moment.

Can I buy and ship it to someone else?

Yes, of course! At checkout, enter the gift recipient's address in the shipping address fields and we'll ship the print directly to them.

Is the watermark going to be on my print?

No, our logo watermark will NOT be included on your purchased print.

How old are these maps?

We don't sell original maps. We sell digitally restored reprints that are brand new when purchased.

Some of the maps in our collection date back over 600 years.

Do you have other maps not listed on this website?

Yes, we have lots of maps that aren't listed on the website yet. If you're looking for a specific place or map, email contact@themapvault.com.

If we don't have it in our own archives, we can most likely find one for you and digitally restore it at no additional cost.
