SHIPPING OPTIONS AND RATES

We ship domestically within Australia and internationally on request. Dispatch time will vary depending on the type of product you have ordered (for example, art prints are produced on-demand by a third party provider, please allow up to 2 weeks for printing).

For prints, shipping is charged as a flat rate of $10 per order within Australia.

For original artworks (including commissions), an estimated shipping cost will be provided prior to or at the time of purchase. Shipping cost will depend on size, weight, whether the artwork is framed, and destination. Our preference is to ship originals with insurance.

Packaging materials depends on the type of product you have ordered and is determined at the time of check-out based on the largest item in your order:

-          small prints (A4 or A3 in size) are shipped flat using Australia Post A4 or A3 rigid mailers;

-          large prints (A2 or greater in size) are shipped rolled inside a poster tube or custom-made box;

-          original artworks are shipped in custom-made packaging.

Once ready, your orders will be dispatched and posted within 5 business days. Once dispatched, shipping time will vary depending on the type of shipping selected.
