Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of paper do you use for the posters?

We use high-quality premium uncoated paper, carefully selected for its subtle texture and matte finish. It’s thick (200gsm / 110lb), museum-grade, and designed to bring out the detail and tone in minimalist artwork. The prints are durable, non-glare, and perfect for framing.


Are the posters sold with frames?

No — to keep things flexible and affordable, our prints are sold unframed. This lets you choose the perfect frame to match your own space and style.


What sizes are available?

Each poster design is available in six sizes:

  • A5 (5.8 × 8.3")

  • A4 (8.3 × 11.7")

  • A3 (11.7 × 16.5")

  • A2 (16.5 × 23.4")

  • A1 (23.4 × 33.1")

  • A0 (33.1 × 46.8")

Whether you’re creating a subtle corner vignette or a bold gallery wall, there’s a size to suit.


Where are the posters printed?

We use a global network of professional print facilities — your order is automatically routed to the nearest available location, which helps reduce shipping time, costs, and environmental impact.


How long does delivery take?

Most orders are produced and shipped within 2–5 business days. Delivery times depend on your location:

  • NZ & Australia: 4–7 business days

  • USA & Canada: 4–8 business days

  • UK & Europe: 3–6 business days

You'll receive a tracking number as soon as your order ships.


Do you offer returns or refunds?

Because each item is made to order, we’re unable to accept change-of-mind returns. However, if your print arrives damaged or incorrect, please get in touch within 7 days and we’ll make it right.


How are the posters packaged?

Prints are carefully rolled in protective kraft tubes or shipped flat in sturdy packaging (depending on size and destination). This ensures they arrive safely and crease-free.


Can I request a custom quote or design?

At this stage, we only offer the curated selection you see in the store. However, we're always expanding — feel free to reach out if there’s a quote or concept you'd love to see added.


Do you offer bulk or wholesale orders?

Yes, absolutely. We’re happy to offer discounted rates for bulk purchases, offices, retailers, interior designers, or events. Whether you’re curating a space or stocking your own store, we can help. Just get in touch for a custom quote.


Is this brand affiliated with any philosophers or foundations?

No — The Ancient Advisor is an independent brand inspired by timeless Stoic wisdom. Our posters are original typographic interpretations, designed to bring calm, clarity, and character to your walls.
