Normal orders will take max. 3 weeks (depending on the location).
Bespoke orders operate to a 4-5 week lead time in normal circumstances * and it depends on the commission size. I will try to accommodate special requests where possible, but please do bear in mind my lead times when placing an order.
* I sometimes find myself in different countries because of being doing artists residencies, exhibitions, etc… I will inform you per email about the lead times if this would be the case.
Upon placing an order and making payment you will receive a confirmation email. When your order has been shipped you will be sent tracking details. I will monitor the whole delivery process so you can finally receive my art and enjoy it.
Cancelling an order after the artwork has been dispatched:
Once having completed the purchase, if for any reason (except it being damaged, this being notified with the courier at the moment of delivery*), you should decide to cancel the transaction after placing your order and once the artwork has been dispatched, you will be responsible for all payment transaction fees, postage, packaging, insurance, customs (if applicable) and shipping costs for the initial shipment of the work, you will also be responsible for the costs of return shipping of the work, including packaging, insurance, shipping and customs costs (if applicable). Upon return of the work to the artist, in identical condition to that in which it was originally sent, reimbursement will be made for the amount you paid less the aforementioned fees. It is advised to leave the artwork in the packaging it was sent in unless for some reason this is not possible, or the packaging is damaged.
Cancelling an order before the artwork has been dispatched:
In the case of cancelling an order for any reason up until the time the artwork has been dispatched, a full refund will be made, minus any payment gateway transaction fees already incurred. This does not apply to goods bought in person offline. Also please bear in mind that once the artwork has been dispatched it will apply various shipping costs on top of the transaction fees incurred, see 'Cancelling an order after the artwork has been dispatched'.
