Processing Your Order
Original Artwork
Original artwork, framed artwork and mounted artwork are carefully prepared and dispatched by me.
Unless otherwise stated, physical artwork is dispatched on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Orders placed after a dispatch day will normally be sent on the next scheduled dispatch day.
Where available, I use tracked next working day delivery services after dispatch. Delivery times are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed.
If there is an unexpected delay in dispatching your order, I will contact you as soon as possible.
Print-on-Demand Products
Some prints and products available through my shop are produced by my trusted print fulfilment partner, Prodigi.
These products are made to order and are manufactured after your purchase has been placed. Production and dispatch times vary depending on the product, destination and current production schedules.
Where available, tracking information will be provided once your order has been dispatched.
If your order contains both original artwork and print-on-demand products, they may arrive separately as they are dispatched from different locations.
Shipping Costs
Shipping costs are calculated at checkout and vary depending on the size, weight, destination and type of product ordered.
Framed Artwork
Framed artwork costs more to ship due to:
The additional weight of the frame and glazing.
The specialist protective packaging required.
The limited number of courier services suitable for transporting framed artwork safely.
The cost of appropriate transit insurance.
Mounted and Backed Artwork
Mounted and backed artwork is also dispatched using tracked and insured delivery services to provide additional protection throughout its journey.
Packaging
Every order is packaged with great care using materials appropriate to the artwork being shipped.
Depending on the product, packaging may include:
Protective sleeves.
Acid-free tissue paper.
Backing boards.
Rigid mailers.
Bubble wrap or foam protection where appropriate.
Protective corner guards.
Heavy-duty cardboard packaging designed specifically for artwork.
Print-on-demand products fulfilled by Prodigi are packaged using professional artwork packaging appropriate to the product being shipped.
Please retain all packaging until you have inspected your order, particularly if the parcel appears damaged.
Delivery
Delivery is made to the address provided during checkout. Please ensure your delivery details are accurate before placing your order.
Where available, tracking information will be supplied once your order has been dispatched.
Although every effort is made to meet estimated delivery times, delays can occasionally occur due to circumstances beyond my reasonable control, including:
Courier delays.
Adverse weather conditions.
Industrial action.
Customs processing for international orders.
High seasonal demand.
Unexpected production delays for made-to-order products.
I appreciate your patience should these circumstances arise.

Returns, Cancellations & Print-on-Demand Products
Original Artwork
Original, non-personalised/commissioned artwork may be returned within 21 days of delivery, provided it is returned in its original condition and suitable for resale.
Unless an item is faulty, damaged or supplied incorrectly, the customer is responsible for return postage costs.
Commissioned & Personalised Artwork
As commissioned and personalised artwork is created specifically for you, these items cannot be cancelled, returned or refunded once work has commenced, unless they are faulty, damaged or not as described.
Print-on-Demand Products
Some prints and products sold through this website are produced to order by my trusted print fulfilment partner, Prodigi.

Order Cancellations
If you need to cancel your order, please contact me as soon as possible.
Cancellation may be possible before production begins. Once your order has entered production, it cannot usually be cancelled because it is being manufactured specifically for you.

This does not affect your statutory rights if an item is faulty, damaged, or not as described.
