Process for getting your pictures of
Rome
- Decide
which place you want pictures of. You may decide to take pictures of an
area, rather than one place, but be aware that if the area is wide we may
ask for a price higher than the standard 50$. If you need some idea on great
places to take pictures of, visit our ideas
area.
- Write
your choice in a mail, and send it to our POD Customer service contact,
picture.on.demand@lycosmail.com
- In
two working days or so you will receive a confirmation of your order being
accepted or a request for more clarification.
- In
one week or so, you will receive the external frame of one of your 10 pictures,
to confirm they are ready, with the address and details on where you have
to send your check(*).
- Send
your US$ 50 normal check to the address indicated(*).
- As
soon as your check arives you will be sent your 10 pictures (one picture
per message).
Disclaimer
- Please specify as much detail as you can in the request you send: it is
easy to be disappointed if you wanted a specific detail of a zone and you
just get different frames than what you had in mind.
- We get frequently requests to have pictures taken at different times of
the day. We will try to match your requests as much as possible, but - please
- be aware that not always we can send a person at a specific time or twice
to a place to have the desired lighting.
- As taking pictures in certain museums, churchs or galleries is forbidden,
please do not ask us to do this, as you will unavoidably receive a negative
answer.

We thought for a while about the best payment instrument for our customers.
For small amounts such as the cost of your customized pictures, there would
be no best way than using your credit card. But this exposes you to the risk
of your credit card number to be intercepted and re-used for crime purposes.
Despite whatever sofisticated mechanism, there is no way to be 100% sure!
So, we thought that - even if slover - a check, addressed to the company that
produces Picture on Demand, is the safest method: even in case of loss, it
cannot be cashed by anybody else, and - should Picture on Demand customer
service signal to you that the check did not come through, you will have a
possibility to block it.
On top of that, if this is the first time that you do business with Picture
on Demand, you may wander who guarantees that we will fulfill our commitments,
after we receive your payment. Here comes the best: first of all, when we
communicate the address to send your check to, you know exactly who is receiving
the payment, so that you do not need to trust "just an Internet site".
Secondly, we do the service before you send the payment, and we send
you the external frame of the most significant picture we took for you. In
this way you are sure that we did take the pictures you asked, and
we do not have any reason not to send them to you.
