Global art shipping
Buy anything from me, with confidence, wherever you live on the planet.
Start by choosing something
That’s as easy as it sounds. Choosing is simply a matter of browsing my selection of original paintings for sale (including my Half price Offers) and deciding if there’s something you really like. I understand if you’re hesitant at spending a large sum of money for a painting that’s not even in the same country as you but please be assured that I am a registered UK business and work very hard to build my reputation for outstanding art and a very personal service so I conduct myself with great care and integrity.
I work with you – personally – by mail, video, WhatsApp, or the good old fashioned telephone. I’ll even walk you round a painting or my Art Gallery via FaceTime. If you send me a photograph I’m happy to Photoshop some paintings into your own space so you can get an idea what something is going to look like – all without any obligation.
If a painting isn’t right for you I will tell you. I’m an honest guy. It’s what I do. The art always comes first, everything else comes second. If you like something I’ll cost up the shipping for you and give you a price. Typically I can do that within an hour or two.
We make the bespoke packaging
For single paintings we use a system that incorporates polycarbonate roof sheeting to protect both the front and back of the painting. It’s lightweight, robust and we can cut pieces to fit any painting I have on sale.
This is my preferred method of shipping art overseas. It’s safe, easy and means you only have to slice through the packaging and hang it on the wall when you’ve received it. It really is as simple as that.
For multiple paintngs we will build a wooden crate. Crating full-sized paintings can be expensive though so please ask me for a cost if more than one of them catches your eye. If you’ve fallen in love with something let’s talk and I’ll do my best to get the costs down wherever I can. But I say again, it’s not cheap to do this.
Our crates are a work of art unto themselves! Each painting gets packed into a custom-made wooden crate (made to International ISPM15 standards for customs clearance).
Settle the invoice and we’ll load the truck
At the point of sending I will ask for the agreed price to be paid (which is made up of the cost of the painting plus shipping charges). A bank (IBAN or BACS) transfer is my preferred method of payment and will be requested prior to shipping. PayPal is also fine as are all major credit cards. Sorry I don’t take magic beans anymore.
Once the money is received I will ship with a specialist courier network and provide tracking information taken from the waybill/shipping manifest. Depending on your country the delivery time is normally around 5 days allowing for clearance through customs*
*Customs in your country may charge import duty or a handling fee; this is not covered by me and you may be liable for it. Please check beforehand.
Sign for it and hang it
For single paintings sent in polycarbonate sheet you’ll need a sharp knife to remove the outer packaging. If you’re unpacking a crate a screwdriver will be required. Remove the foam wrappers and you’re done. All my paintings hang on just two screws from the centre cross-bar. That’s it. I don’t use any complicated hanging systems or cords and I will guide you through this straightforward process before you get your delivery.
The Certificate of Authenticity (which carries my signature, the name and a photograph of the painting) plus a Valuation Certificate will be included with the painting.
You will need to recycle the polycarbonate sheets/crate as I don’t take any packaging back (it would be way too expensive to ship them all the way back to the UK).
