PO Box addresses
We suggest to avoid using PO Box addresses for shipping as some delivery offices refuse to receive parcels on behalf of their clients should they need to sign for them. Please make sure that your PO Box accepts deliveries where a signature is required upon delivery.
Packaging
Loose prints are sent in protective cardboard postal tubes rolled up. This is the safest way to ship prints without mounts. Mounted and framed prints are shipped flat packed between several strong and protective corrugated boards. Original works are always shipped flatpacked with additional layers of safety to avoid potential creasing or water damage.
Delivery times
Upon checkout we will give you an accurate estimate of the despatch date for your parcel. Canvas prints and framed works may take longer to assemble and despatch, subject to availability.
In case of international shipping through Royal Mail (International Signed For) the postal company passes your parcel over to your local service for delivery, usually within two working days from the despatch date. Royal Mail has no control over your parcel from that moment. If your delivery is urgent it is advised to use UPS instead. However, if you still have not received your parcel within the expected delivery time please contact us and we will endevour to arrange a re-delivery and send you a replacement. Every parcel we send out is always insured to its full value. It may also happen that your local customs office inspects your parcel before releasing it for delivery. That can cause cause a slight delay.
Customs
It is within the discretion of all customs offices to impose additional charges before releasing your parcel for local delivery outside the United Kingdom. In that case the delivery company will attempt to contact you in person, over the phone or by leaving a card at your delivery address to notify you about such charges. Although these cases are rare we would advise you to enter your primary contact number upon registering with us to avoid delays or the inconvenience of missing your delivery.
Insurance
We take full responsibility for any damage occuring during delivery. All parcels are automatically insured up to £25,000 worldwide with Lloyds Underwriters when they are despatched through UPS. (under terms of Art Dealers Insurance AD94).
