PACK A LAPTOP
FOR RIPKEN

Due to COVID-19 we need to take some precautions this coming summer as it relates to photography at The Ripken Experience in Myrtle Beach, SC and Pigeon Forge, TN.

One of the biggest changes we are implementing is allowing our customers to view their photos off-site from their hotel rooms. While this sounds simple, there are a lot of things we needed to consider and adjust to make this happen as smoothly as possible. Please read the following before leaving for your event and contact us if you have any questions. We can be reached at info@glossyfinish.com.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

Simple. We need to minimize the crowding at the Photo Store due to social distancing and the guidelines set forth by the state. Allowing you to view and save photos offsite will help us achieve this while minimizing your wait time in the Photo Store.

2WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING TO DO THIS?

OK, here is where it gets a little tricky, so please read carefully. You will NEED a laptop, either MAC, PC, or Chromebook. This will NOT work from your phone, tablet or iPad. Repeat, this will NOT work from your phone, tablet or iPad. If you bring a MAC make sure you are using Safari, Firefox or Chrome browser. If you are bringing a PC make sure you are using Chrome, FireFox or Microsoft Edge.

3WHAT IF I DO NOT HAVE A LAPTOP?

No worries. Our Photo Store will be open for you, but you may experience some wait times as we will be minimizing the amount of customers allowed in at any given time. You can also try the business center at your hotel or ask a teammate if they brought a laptop you can use.

4WHEN WILL I BE ABLE TO VIEW MY PHOTOS?

Your photos will be available to view about an hour after your game and will ONLY be available during the week that you are playing. The photos will be removed at 11AM on Friday, the last day of your event. The photos WILL NOT be available after this time so please make sure to take advantage of this opportunity to view and purchase.

5CAN I PAY FOR MY PURCHASE ONLINE?

No, you will need to come to the Photo Store and see our cashiers to complete your order by 11AM on Friday. We do this so we can verify the photos you selected are best suited for the products being purchased. This helps us control quality. When you come to the Photo Store go straight to the cashier and tell them you checked out offsite and you simply need to pay. We will expedite the process for you as best we can.

6WHAT IF I START THE PROCESS ON MY LAPTOP CAN I COME INTO STORE TO COMPLETE MY ORDER?

Yes, absolutely! Just make sure you log in with the same mobile number at all times.

7WHAT IF I HAVE A QUESTION WHILE I AM AT THE HOTEL?

You should send us an email to info@glossyfinish.com and we will do our best to get back to you ASAP. Along with your question be sure to tell us your location and event. Example: Ripken Myrtle Beach - Ocean Breeze
