How is my artwork going to be shipped?

ORIGINAL ARTWORK:

  • All original artwork is padded extremely well, and sent in a well-fitting sturdy cardboard box.

  • Most original artwork will ship via UPS, and most packages arrive within 5 business days (domestic) from time of shipping (includes tracking & insurance). I will not ship original artwork until it is completely dry to the touch, which often requires a few days after the time of purchase. You can expect to receive your new painting within 14 days of payment, unless otherwise specified.

  • INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, please note that shipping charges will be calculated after your purchase and billed in a separate invoice. Once final shipping payment is received I will package and ship your artwork to you. Buyer is responsible for any customs related fees.

*For original paintings larger than 50 inches, I use a freight service to expertly handle the painting and safely deliver it to your home ($300+). If you are within a 60 minute drive from New Haven, CT, or want to arrange to meet halfway, I am happy to deliver it to you! Feel free to email me to discuss the possible options!

Shipping costs cover fees, packaging supplies, time, labor, and storage.  

PRINTS:  

  • All prints are handled and packaged with the utmost care. US shipping for prints is FREE!

  • International shipping for prints will be billed after purchase. Shipping times and additional fees are outside of my control, but a safe estimate is 3 weeks after time of purchase, due to possible delays in customs. The destination country may require the recipient to pay custom fees or VAT (Value Added Tax) which is determined by that country, and customer is responsible for all related fees. 

CAN I PICK UP MY ARTWORK FROM YOUR STUDIO?  Please do! You are more than welcome to pick up your original artwork in person at my studio in New Haven, CT.  Select the option "StudioPickup" at checkout to forgo shipping fees and we will work out a time to meet via email. Feel free to inquire about setting up a time to see the work in person before purchasing by sending me an email at michellebradfordstudio@gmail.com.
