Thank you for expressing an interest in ordering one of our PhotoCare packages. Please call +44 (0)1926 512 292 or send for an online quote.

The sections below explain the ordering process in more detail.

Packaging advice

Your photos are valuable and we would therefore suggest the following to avoid causing any additional damage to them whilst in transit.

  • Please send the photos in a secure package, preferably in a board-backed envelope or, if they can be rolled, in a cardboard tube. If you send them in a standard envelope, please fold some cardboard or similar material around them to prevent them from being folded or creased.
  • We suggest that you send them to us either by Recorded Post or Special Delivery. Although more expensive, these methods do provide more security and allow the Post Office to track packages.
  • If the photo is in a frame and cannot be easily removed, please package it securely in a jiffy bag or similar. If the glass is cracked or broken, please ensure that there are no loose pieces that might damage the photo or the packaging.

Send your pictures to:

Torn Corner Ltd, 28 Northvale Close, Kenilworth, Warwickshire CV8 2EN

Email transfers

If your photos are already in a digital format e.g. they have been scanned into your PC, are on a Photo CD or they were taken with a digital camera, you can send them to us via email. Please read the following guidelines about how to format your photos to help us achieve the best possible results:

  • If you are scanning your photos, please set your scanner’s resolution to 300 dpi (dots per inch). Save them as JPEG’s at the lowest compression ratio i.e. at ‘best’ quality.
  • For pictures that you have on Photo CD’s or from a digital camera, please send them as JPEG’s (which is probably the format that they are already in). If you are unsure of their resolution (dots per inch), please send them as they are and we will check/adjust the resolution if required.
  • For best transfer times, please keep your file sizes to a maximum of 2MB. Sizes larger than this will increase transfer times and may not be accepted by your email service provider.
  • Please send the photo files via email to orders@torncorner.co.uk.

If you have any questions about this process, please contact us and we will be happy to offer some advice.

Credit or debit card payment via Paypal

Both UK and international customers can choose to pay using their credit card, Switch or Solo debit card or from their bank accounts using the online payment services of PayPal (please note that this is the only method of payment available to our non-UK customers).

  • We will send you an invoice via email requesting payment of the required amount.
  • This email will contain a link that will take you to the PayPal website via a secure connection.
  • If you have not previously used PayPal, you will be asked for some brief registration details.
  • Once registered, you will be asked to make the requested payment. This may be via the entry of your credit / debit card details or you can select to make the payment from your bank account if this has also been registered with PayPal.
