Shipping:
Delivery Time: Typically 5-7 business days for domestic shipping, 14-21 days for international.
Handling: All artworks (unless specified otherwise) are shipped in a cylinder for safety. Prints are unframed and rolled. Paintings will be taken off the frame and rolled in a cylinder to offer cost effective international shipping fees. For domestic shipping of originals, this may vary depending on the size of the artwork. Contact us for more details on your specific order.
South African Shipping: All purchases over R1000 will receive free shipping to your door. For purchases under R1000 there will be a flat rate of R70 nationwide to your door.
Worldwide Shipping: We ship to the UK, USA, all EU countries & EEC countries, and more. If your country is not available, contact us and we’ll do our best to deliver to your door. Your shipping will be calculated at the checkout. When ordering more than one painting or print, you may contact us directly (add a link to contact) to see if the artworks can be shipped in the same container/cylinder to avoid the shipping amount increasing with the addition of each artwork.
International Shipping and Import Duties : International orders may incur customs duties which are not included in the shipping costs. Learn more HERE. (Maybe add this below on another page or maybe just “hide”)
We have a global community of both artists and collectors. For artworks being shipped internationally, you may need to pay customs and/or import fees in order for the work to be released for delivery.
Customs duties and import fees aren’t included at the checkout, as they’re set by the artwork’s destination country and are charged directly by the country’s customs office. In most cases, either the customs office or the courier will be in touch with you if any fees are due. It’s worth noting that in the case of returns, any customs or import charges you’ve paid are non-refundable.
Customs duties and import fees vary from country to country. We’ve included customs details on our most popular delivery destinations below. For other countries, or for more information, you can contact your local customs department directly to find out details specific to your delivery country.
