Additional policies and FAQs
If we receive a returned package marked as undeliverable, I will contact the buyer for either 1.) a refund of the purchase price of the item(s) minus shipping charges or 2.) Re-ship to the corrected address once the buyer covers the cost of shipping the order out again. (This is why it's so important to make sure the shipping address is complete and correct)
On any customs forms, we are required by law to declare the full purchase price as the value of the goods. We do not under declare values, or mark goods as a "gift."
We truly wish we didn't need to have this disclaimer here but after repeated misunderstandings and a negative review solely based on the fact that a buyer incurred a customs charge (that we have no control over) or an incorrectly entered gift recipient address where the order was returned a few times as undeliverable until a different address was finally provided, we feel it important to have this lengthy and hopefully informative notice.
Custom and personalized orders
Each custom painting has different wait times depending on how many orders are in front of you as well as size and material of your choosing. I will give a timeline before you purchase to make sure that your order is received before you need it. Please feel free to contact me for more information.
