Any item that is in-stock and purchased UNFRAMED will be prepared and added to our shipping queue, usually within one business day of your order. We will notify you when the item is shipped, usually within 2-3 business days from the original date of your order.
Any item that is in-stock and purchased FRAMED, will be prepared and added to our framing queue, usually within one business day of your order. It can take upwards of 10 business days for the framing to be completed but rest assured that museum-quality framing takes skill and precision and will be completed as soon as possible (more on framing below). Once your piece is ready, it will be professionally packaged and added to our shipping queue. We will notify you when the item is shipped.
Any item that is NOT in-stock will need to be ordered from the artist or authorized representative. We will notify you that we have ordered your piece and provide a general ETA based on previous experience and/or information we get directly from the artist or authorized representative.
For original paintings, drawings, or unique prints - these items have already been produced, so they will be prepared for shipping to us within a few days of our request.
For original photographs or fine-art prints - these high-quality items are usually made to order, or are produced in very small batches by the artists themselves or an authorized representative. Depending on the availability of studio/darkroom space, or other projects on which they may be working, there could be a lead-time of several weeks before the final artwork can be shipped to us. We will contact you with any ETA information we can provide in these cases.
If you purchase multiple items some may be in stock while others aren’t. Typically, we will hold your items until the entire order is ready to ship. We will contact you with details on ETA for any outstanding pieces.
How Long Will It Take For Me To Receive My Order?
Depending on the item you’ve chosen, it may take several weeks for the piece to be produced and shipped to you, so we usually suggest a 4-6 week standard lead-time for delivery.
We will communicate any and all ETA information that we receive regarding your purchase, along the way.
If the item is a gift, or if you have a preferred due-date for the item you wish to purchase to be delivered, please contact one of our sales staff to discuss availability before you make an online purchase. We’ll be more than happy to try our best to make sure you get what you need and know what to expect before you buy!
