Included
Tracked express shipping to any address worldwide is included in the price of every painting, delivered against a signature. Dispatch within 10 working days of your order.
Stretched – ready to hang
The painting stays on its stretcher bars, protected with glassine, corner guards and bubble wrap in a custom-made, foam-lined crate – add D-rings where you prefer and it is ready to hang. This is the default everywhere, for a surcharge per work shown at checkout: UK £210, EU £220, US £245, rest of world £245. If a work can travel rolled only, its page says so.
Rolled – in a tube
Taken off the stretcher bars, interleaved with acid-free release paper, rolled painted-side out around a wide core and shipped in a rigid tube. Your local picture framer re-stretches it; we include a size card and instructions. No surcharge – choose it at checkout instead of stretched.
Duties and taxes
UK: nothing further. Everywhere else: original paintings are duty-free in the EU, the US and most other countries. Your country’s import VAT or GST where it applies (for example Germany 7%, France 5.5%, Netherlands 9%, Italy 5%, Spain 10%, Ireland 13.5%; the standard rate in EU countries with no reduced art rate; none in the US) and the courier’s customs processing fee are added at checkout as one prepaid line, so nothing is due on delivery – if the actual charge is lower we refund the difference, if higher we cover it. We ship by checkout only to the countries listed there; for any other country, email us for the exact landed cost first.
Damage in transit
When the courier records delivery, we email you a link – use it within 48 hours to confirm that the painting arrived in good condition, or to tell us it did not. If the box or crate looks damaged when it arrives, show the courier before you sign and ask them to note the damage on their delivery record. If there is damage, photograph the packaging and the painting, and keep the painting and all the packaging at the delivery address until we tell you otherwise, as the courier may need to inspect them. We will put it right.
