Shipping and Delivery Policy
Thank you for supporting original art. Every piece is handled, packed, and delivered with the utmost care to ensure it arrives safely.
Local Pick-Up (Preferred)
Local pick-up is strongly encouraged and preferred for all artwork to ensure the safest and most efficient transfer:
-
Cost: Free.
-
Location: Charlotte, NC (precise address and pick-up instructions will be provided via email once your order is confirmed).
-
Scheduling: Once your order is processed, you will receive an email to arrange a convenient day and time window for pick-up.
-
Preparation: Please bring an appropriate vehicle with sufficient clean, flat space and moving blankets or cushions to transport your artwork safely.
Domestic Shipping & Fulfillment
For collectors outside the local Charlotte area, artwork can be shipped directly to your door.
-
Fulfillment & Transit Time: Orders are securely packaged and dispatched within 3 to 5 business days. Standard carrier transit typically takes an additional 2 to 5 business days, depending on your location.
-
Packaging: All works (original canvases, framed pieces, and works on paper) are custom-packed to prevent transit damage.
-
Carriers & Tracking: Shipments are sent via UPS, FedEx, or specialized art couriers. A tracking number will be emailed to you immediately upon carrier dispatch.
Order Inspection & Damages in Transit
