Returns

 

 

If 7 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately we can’t offer you a refund or exchange for customer change of mind.

 

 

The return policy time limit of 7 days does not apply to issues relating to product quality or durability (where you have significant longer term protections under Australian Consumer Law). If there is a product defect you will be refunded (as per your consumer rights if a product is faulty, not fit for purpose or doesn’t match its description). 

 

 

To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. Artist original prints should be returned in a tube. Paintings should be appropriately packaged is multiple layers of bubble wrap and heavy duty cardboard to enable their safe return.

 

 

There are certain situations where only partial refunds are granted (if applicable): Any item not in its original condition, is damaged for reasons not due to our error. Any item that is returned (taking into account freight time) more than 7 days after delivery.
