Shipping and delivery
How much does shipping cost?
Please find the shipping costs here.
We can't offer free shipping, as we're a really small business which sends out too few packages to make deals with postal services.
Do you ship to my country?
We ship to nearly every country, including the USA, UK and Europe. If you added your order to your cart, you can see in checkout if your country is available for shipping.
When will my order be posted?
You can find shipping times here.
Can I get tracked shipping?
If you want to add tracking to your order, please choose for your order to be shipped as a parcel in the checkout.
If you choose standard shipping there's no track and trace available.
When will my order arrive?
There’s no way to be sure* but after you’ve received an email saying your order has shipped, the timings usually are:
Netherlands: 2 – 5 business days
Europe: 5 – 14 days
United States/Canada/Australia/New Zealand: 10 – 30 days
Rest of the world: 7 – 60 days
Before contacting us, please allow your order to arrive within:
– 2 weeks within the Netherlands;
– 4 weeks within the EU;
– 12 weeks outside the EU.
During (bank) holidays packages take longer to arrive.
* No rights can be derived from these timings as it depends on all the mail services involved.
Can I pick up my order?
When an order is available for pick up from my studio, you will see this in the checkout as a shipping method. Please note that this is only available for larger art prints and paintings. When you’ve chosen pick-up, we will email you within 3 business days to offer dates and times for you to pick up your order.
Can I get the order shipped to someone as a gift?
Absolutely! If you’re ordering something for someone and want to have it delivered to their address, please fill out their address at the shipping address at checkout.
By default there's no invoice included in the parcel and each order is wrapped in a paper gift bag.
Do I need to pay import fees?
For open edition prints: you do not pay import fees within the US, UK or EU.
For other destinations, please check here.
Within the EU, you never pay import costs, on any order.
Outside the EU you might be charged for import fees on other orders, like zines and riso prints.
These import charges are not included in the total amount of your order and must be paid by you as the recipient. The amount depends on the country in which you live. Please consult your government’s website for more information.
Will my order fit through my mailbox slot (to avoid damaging)?
For proper delivery, your mailbox slot should be 26,5 cm long x 3,2 cm high (and 38 cm deep in case of a collection tray). Please check before ordering if your mailbox slot is big enough.
Smaller mailbox slot?
Pick ‘parcel post’ in the checkout. In our experience, the people that deliver the mail will fold your order to fit your mailbox, and we cannot take responsibility for this. Damages caused by a mailbox that’s too small cannot be compensated.
What to do when my order has arrived damaged?
So sorry that has happened.
Please get in touch with me and I'll look with you for a solution.
Please also get in touch with your national or local postal service to file a complaint. In the Netherlands that’s DHL.
If you chose for mailbox delivery but your mailbox slot is too small to fit the envelope, there’s not much I can do unfortunately, as it’s the receivers responsibility to pick ‘parcel post’ in checkout if the mailbox is too small for the order.
Returns
How do I cancel/adjust my order?
Please contact us as soon as possible with your order number and full name, or reply to the order confirmation email you’ve received. Once your order has shipped out, adjustments or cancellations are not possible.
Placing an order for an open edition print are always final and can not be adjusted or returned.
Can I return my order?
Open edition prints are custom made to order, so we are unable to offer returns or refunds. All sales on these are final.
For other orders, we accept returns due to change of mind as long as a request to return is received by us within 10 business days of receipt of item, and are returned in original packaging, unused and in re-sellable
condition.
Return shipping will be paid at the customers expense and will be required to arrange their own shipping. The refund paid is the value of the product. Costs paid by us for shipping are not included.
What do I do when I've received the wrong product?
If you’ve received a product you didn’t order and it’s missing the product you did order, please contact us within 10 business days. Please email us a photo of your order as you received it and your order number. We will send you the right item on our costs of course.
Can I get a refund on a digital product or donation?
Refunds on non-physical and digital products, like online classes, donations or downloadable PDF's, are not possible.
Other questions
What if I place a pre-order with a regular order?
If you order a product that’s on pre-order with a product that’s in stock, your complete order will ship when the pre-order is available.
If you want the other product sooner, you have to order it separately.
Why are prices of your products higher than those of bigger companies?
Big companies can produce in bulk. The more you can produce of one product, the cheaper the cost price gets.
Because all my products are made in low quantities, the cost price is quite high in general. I set prices that are incredibly reasonable compared to the profit I'm making off it.
If you feel my prices are too high, please don't buy from me, because I don't want you to be disappointed with your purchase.
How do I frame the print I ordered?
We have created guides to help you pick the right frame for art prints: Find them here. Due to time restraints we don’t offer personalised advice for framing art or prints. If you’re in need of an expert to help and advise you, we recommend Goedman Lijstenmakerij in Den Haag, but many other specialised art framers do excellent work as well.
How can I buy a sold out product?
When it states a product is sold out, it usually means it won't be back.
