Shipping
Generally, photographs purchased through the website are produced on demand. This may seem an inconvenience, but it actually may result in an improved piece by virtue of taking advantage of updated, or even new production methods and technology, and/or display and mounting options. Allow 30 days from the date of an order for delivery to your specified location (sooner if your selection is on hand). Be assured that every effort will be made to complete your transaction as expeditiously as possible.
Returns
Buyer must notify artist, no later than ten (10) days after delivery to buyer's shipping address, of intent to return any artwork purchased. Artwork to be returned must be in original, undamaged condition, and securely packaged as it was received, in its original packaging. Returns must be shipped via UPS or FedEx and received by artist within seven (7) days of notification from buyer of intent to return. Buyer is responsible for all costs associated with return shipments. After the returned art has been received and artist is satisfied with its condition, a refund less 5% (five percent) of the purchase price will be issued via the same method as it was purchased.
