Q: How do I place an order?
A: There are two methods for placing orders:
- You may utilize our drop ship program wherein we will ship products directly to your customer. This is for partners who do not wish to invest in inventory to be stocked on their floors. Using the drop ship program requires orders to be entered through your account on the About Wall Decor website as the majority of customers do. Once the order ships you will automatically be emailed the tracking information. There are no additional costs for our drop ship program - you simply pay the cost of actual shipping.
- For partners placing bulk orders (more than 10 pieces) About Wall Decor will accept purchase orders. A purchase order is required in this instance and no order will be processed without one. Send all purchase orders to accounts@aboutwalldecor.com. Once your PO is received we can prepare you an LTL freight shipping cost.
Q: Do you allow changes to an order?
A: Due to the quick turn-around times we can only accept changes or cancellations within the first 24 business hours you place your order.
Q: Can I add different designs to the same order?
A: Yes. Simply follow the instructions during the order process.
Q: Can I cancel my order?
A: Yes, however only within the first 12 hours of placing your order. If an order is cancelled after the initial 12 hour period and About Wall Decor has processed and shipped your products, you will need to obtain an RTA #, return authorization, prior to returning items to About Wall Decor.
Q: How secure is the order process?
A: You can be assured our checkout process is very secure. We use the latest 256-bit SSL (secure socket layer), from one of the largest encryption companies (GlobalSign) to process your order.
Q: How can I check the status of my order?
A: As we produce all orders submitted within a 3-5 day timeframe it would be difficult to keep a database updated with the exact status of every order. We do however provide you with a confirmation email when your order is initially placed, as well as a "Your Order has Shipped" email, with tracking information, once it has shipped.
Q: Do you ship to international destinations?

Digital Print Care & Maintenance
Q: How do I clean my About Wall Decor products?
A: The majority of our products can be simply dusted or be wiped down with a damp cloth. All printed products may be cleaned simply using a damp rag. No cleaning products should be used as they may harm the coating on the prints, thereby causing a cloudy or muddy appearance where the cleaner was used.
Q: Any tips or tricks for installation and care of About Wall Decor's wall decals?
A: There are several things you can do for each of the materials. Following are tips and tricks for each:
4 Mil Reusable Vinyl
- Wall temperatures for an average indoor wall where the other side of the wall faces indoors into another room are normally 5-10 degrees less than what your thermostat is set for. For indoor walls where the opposite side faces outdoors, the temperature difference averages between 10-15 degrees cooler than your thermostat. These statistics are for a normal home in the mid-west to north east. They are slightly lower for homes in the south and west. Optimal temperature for a vinyl wall decal print is 60 to 85 degrees. Temperature fluctuations of 10 degrees or more can cause any vinyl print to contract or expand, which may cause the print to begin lifting off the wall surface.
- Attempt to install your print on an indoor wall as opposed to one that the opposite side is exposed to the outdoors. If you do need to install the print where the other side of the wall is exposed to the outdoors, try not to locate the print next to any windows.
- You should not install your wall decal prints near any vents as air conditioning will cause the vinyl to contract and pull away from the wall.
- If air bubbles are trapped and you are unable to push to edge of print for release, simply take a needle (not a pin) and puncture the air bubble. You will then be able to press the air out.
Wall Decor Fabric, Photo-Tex and Photo-Tex EXS
- These materials are not affected by temperature so no need to worry about where to install.
- Air bubbles can be removed by taking a soft, dry cloth and pushing the air bubble toward the nearest edge.
- If used outside(Photo-Tex and Photo-Tex EXS only) and temperature is below 58 degrees F, do not attempt to remove your digital decal or print.
- When removing your decals or prints always peel back the initial 4”-6” then fold back onto itself, place your fingers gingerly on the adhesive and pull to remove. This will reduce stress or stretching of the material.
