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 delivery date for your parcel. Canvas prints and framed works may take longer to assemble and dispatch, subject to availability.
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 mobile number when shopping with us to avoid delays or the inconvenience of missing your delivery.
As the United Kingdom is no longer part of the European Union, we are required to share the list of items and their values with the courier and the relevant customs offices. Even though a free-trade agreement is in place, customs offices may levy certain handling or administartive charges due to the increased workload as well as adding your local VAT rate to the sum. We provide all the required licence, origin, item description(s), corporate and shipping information to them to speed up the process, however, checks and charges vary from country to country. Please be aware that you will be asked to settle these charges before receiving your parcel if you reside in any of the EU states.
We are in the process of setting up our presence in an EU state to avoid these unfair fees passed onto you, however, as of January 2021, UPS will request payments of between 17% - 25% of the total value of your order to release your parcel. We apologise for the inconvenience and will update you once we have set up our new operations. Thank you for your patience.
Insurance
We take full responsibility for any damage occuring during delivery. All parcels are automatically insured up to £25,000 worldwide with Lloyds Underwriters under the terms of Art Dealers Insurance AD94.
