Written by the company

Dear valued customer, We hope this message finds you well! RARE-T is now celebrating it's 18th anniversary! We have started this beautiful business back in 2008. After a few years of honing our expertise, building valuable connections and private label, we took the leap to open a retail store in 2016 at the iconic Champlain Mall in Brossard, near Montreal, QC. We feel blessed that over the years our online presence and popularity kept growing at a steady pace to a point where our retail store was filled daily with packed online orders! Therefore, we made the difficult choice to close our flagship store to better focus on our ever-growing website and international demand. Thankfully, luck was smiling on us as this move was done right before COVID lockdowns hit us all, which would have made it impossible to fulfill orders! If you are new to RARE-T - Welcome - Here’s what you need to know - We specialize in custom, handcrafted frames and as such, they often require a certain lead time, like in many different ‘custom’ industries. That means we need you to be a little patient with us because we won’t ship you anything until it’s PERFECT. But rest assured, you can always see our delays for framing beforehand mentioned both in the product descriptions, and then in your order confirmation for reference - if unsure, don’t be shy, just contact us directly and we’ll confirm! AMERICA MADE! Our 20,000+ advertised products aren't pre-made or mass-produced abroad. For many reasons – such as strict quality control, conservation, and because they are collectibles – limited editions and quantities made available need to be monitored. All frame orders are hand-made by North American professionals framing experts. All of which is what makes our frames so beautiful, and so valuable. We are convinced that once you see it in person, you will get to appreciate the craftsmanship behind it, and will be back for more - Satisfaction guaranteed! Our goal is to create jaw breaking reactions and emotions for our customers, or their gift recipients, and make them members of the RARE-T family for life! We are collectors selling to collectors - This is why we are proud to sell high-end custom products that are truly a cut above, making us the North American leaders when it comes to framing and displaying quality. In the extremely rare event that your frame arrives damaged, our customer service agents will help you all the way to getting your frame repaired at OUR cost, or if need be, fully replaced. Not to fear, we will never ignore or abandon you if a a bad luck scenario were to present itself. However, even our packaging is custom made to fully protect its content, and professionally prepared for a safe delivery, it would really require a careless delivery for it to happen. Either way, we are always here ready to assist you AND your packages are fully insured by us through whatever major courier was used for your area (FedEx, UPS, USPS, Purolator…) Since we are the Perfect Gift go-to place, for many of our customers, we have developed personalized gift e-cards that we can customize for you, for free, for you to gift out while your custom frame is being completed, in case you are pressed by time. The personal e-cards add to the anticipation without affecting the excitement, because when they do receive the actual frame, they’ll see the pictures never do the actual frames justice. Yes, that's how nice they are 😊 But if time is really too tight, no worries- just visit our "ready to ship" section, those items are IN STOCK (Not just frames but also accessories such as Gaming cards, Celebrity die-cast cars, Bar signs, Unframed Script etc) these can all be shipped as fast as within 24-72 business hours. (24 hrs these days) We offer a wide range of hand-signed collectibles certified by firms such as PSA/DNA, JSA, Beckett etc -the only third party authenticators we carry and those we trust, for their longevity, international recognition and undisputed reputation. Our Hand-Signed memorabilia always include the corresponding certificate number which can be verified directly on their respective sites(ex;PSA,JSA,Beckett) Sadly, we no longer accept incoming phone calls. The reason for this is that RARE-T now caters to an international audience, representing an overwhelming 38 different time zones, and countless languages. This is why all communications must be submitted in writing to allow every agent to read and research any communication history with the client, address his/her needs adequately, avoid any possible hearsay, while ensuring that we maintain the high level of service and efficiency we continually strive for.

Good product; horrible Processing

The product is great but… the clarity in the time of delivery and product development is horrible. Had to wait 7months for my product not including any updates on the status. Emailing about any updates and having to wait 3-5 business days for a reply is a bit excessive for any response.

Total scam

Total scam, ordered a month before Christmas and still have not received my order, constant excuses, numerous emails so that you pass the 90 days.

I have been waiting on my shipment…

I have been waiting on my shipment since February. I am getting no answers from them. I think our best recourse is to complain to paypal and have them remove that service. I also think approaching visa and Mastercard could also yield results considering the overwhelming amount of similar complaints. I will be submitting my complaints today to both and will not relent until someone forces this company to give consumers what we paid for or shut them down. I also think there is an opportunity for a class action lawsuit.

Outstanding Quality Product

The product is of very high quality. I'm so happy with it. It was slow getting here but in the end worth the wait.
Your communications while I waited were very helpful and reassuring. TY very much.

You’re terrible at communicating

You’re terrible at communicating, you lie about timelines, you falsely advertise they authentic when in small print you put facsimile. You took 7 months for something you said would take up to 3 at most I reported your business to the FCC since you didn’t even return my message about a refund

LATE LATE LATE LATE SHIPPING

I ordered this for a gift for my partner before they were stationed in a different country. I was origional told 12 weeks to ship. That was fine. 12 weeks came. 13, 14,15 weeks came and went. Every time I inquired about it the only excuse was they had alot more orders come in and the framer was backed up. Thats BS. Im happy your business is doing great but when more orders come in after other people's order, that shouldn't push everyone's order out. And they use several framers through out the country so its very hard to believe it took an extra 4 months to be delivered.

NEVER AGAIN

NEVER AGAIN - Was ordered as a holiday gift for a buyer I work with. Ordered it in December assuming it was in stock, it shipped in July - WTF. By the time it shipped, she was no longer at the job.

My Mickey Mouse sketch is amazing and my autistic son absolutely loves it but… I was told It would take up to a month to receive the sketch well it didn’t come for roughly 6 months. I would have appreciated a email because scams are everywhere and I would have liked to feel more trust about waiting so long because for about 4 months I thought I got definitely scammed for almost 300.

Never received product

Never received product. Waited 4-12 weeks bc their products are “made with care”. Emailed at 10 weeks to see if they had an ETA on product shipping. It took a week for an email response and they asked for another month after that to send it. I asked for a full refund. Another week went by until I heard back and they gave even more poor communication and avoiding the refund of $300. Another week goes by and they try to issue a $25 refund. And now they will not respond after another week.

What kind of scam is this because I am very angry. I’m doing everything I can do shut them down. DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM. I have no product and paid $300.

Order #41527 was made way back on Dec 22 2025 which is 6 months ago. I ordered 8 pictures total and just recently received only half of my order. When will I receive the other 4 pictures that I bought and paid for 6 months ago?
