Important Note:  As of Sept. 26, 2006, all orders can be placed through our NCSN Photo Store online!  The new store allows for direct ordering and shipping to you within 7-10 days.  The following information is only for inquiries in advance of ordering, mail ordering, special requests or ordering photos that were online prior to September 26, 2006.

Non Credit Card Orders:
If you are unable to use a credit card, you can also purchase photos through the mail by check or money order, using our NCSN Photo Mail Order Form.  However, your order will take up to three weeks to complete, pending personal check clearance by your banking institution.

Obtaining the Correct Photo Names (from Galleries):
Be sure to select the correct photos names from
NCSN Photo Store galleries.  When you choose a photo from the gallery, you will find the name of the photo directly above it, beginning with a six-digit number which represents the date which the photo was taken, followed by the participating team names.  Please clearly print the names of the photos on the NCSN Photo Mail Order Form.

Obtaining Correct Names of Photos NOT in Galleries (generally prior to 9/26/06):
To enter names for
NCSN Photo Mail Order Form, please find photo names for non-gallery photos as follows:

   
STEP 1:
Determine which photo(s) you would like to inquire about. Each photo has a distinct name which can be found by placing your cursor over the photo, clicking the right mouse button, then clicking “Properties.” In the image to the right, the name of the photo has been highlighted in blue. (The name of the photo is also found after the last slash in the URL address.)

STEP 2:
Please complete the following form to INQUIRE about the availability of your photo choices.  This is NOT your purchase order.  It is merely an inquiry.  Within five business days, we will respond by E-Mail and advise you as to availability, various size options and any other photos and considerations that you might wish to review before purchasing.  Please note: Your personal information will ONLY be used for communicating, processing and shipping your order!

Prints or Original Digital Photos:
Upon purchase, NCSN will send to you the high-resolution prints or E-Mail the original digital photographs. Photographs that part of combined online images (two or more images in a single shot) are also available separately. Most of the original photographs are 1600 x 1200 pixels in size or larger, and can produce more superior photographs. Prints are generally available up to 8 x 10 inches in size, depending upon original capture. Due to various print options, sizes and considerations, please follow the steps below in determining your photograph and purchase options.

Image Quality:

Online photos: The images on North Country SportsNet have been optimized for quick Internet loading and viewing on your computer by compressing photos to approximately four-percent of their original, high-resolution quality. While this process has very little impact on how the photos look on the Internet, the 96-percent pixel loss produces a very grainy, poor-quality image for photo prints, enlarging or even background wallpaper on computers.

PHOTO PRICES:
E-Mailed digital photos are $10.00, allowing for unlimited prints.  Photo prints sent via U.S. Mail are $6.00 for 4" x 6," $8.00 for 5" x 7" and $10.00 for 8" x 10" sizes (plus shipping and handling).  Special orders for larger sizes might also be available. ALL photos are subject to availability and size limitations.  ALL purchases are subject to N.Y. State sales tax (7%), except legally tax-exempt organizations. Proof of tax-exempt status is required and must be supplied.

SECURE ORDERING:
Mail order transactions are completed within 14 business days following receipt. Credit card transactions are processed through PayPal’s Secure Online Processing. Your personal information will ONLY be used to process and ship your order and to charge your credit card account.
