FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Payment
Which payment methods do you accept?
You can safely pay with credit card, Paypal, iDeal and Bancontact.
How do I use a discount code/coupon?
At checkout you see âcoupon codeâ, where you can fill out the code you have received. Discount codes need to be filled out during the payment process as they can not be entered after the final step. There are no refunds possible afterwards so please make sure you fill out the code in the ordering process.
Discount codes cannot be applied to books, as it is prohibited by Dutch law.
Can I place an order as a business with 0% VAT/taxes?
For businesses outside of the Netherlands we can arrange a custom invoice for you with the correct VAT rates. Do not order from the shop, but contact us instead.
If you own a Dutch company: regular VAT applies as you can deduct this from your tax payments.
Can I get an invoice for my order?

If you want a PDF from your order confirmation for your administration, here's how you do it.
For businesses outside the Netherlands:
Please contact us before placing an order* with your business details and what you'd like to order. We will write 0% VAT/taxes on your invoice and you can pay via bank transfer.

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.
When will my order be posted?
Orders placed before Thursday 11.59 PM CE(S)T are shipped out each Friday, unless noted otherwise on the product page.
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?
Thereâs no way to be sure* but after youâve received an email saying your order has shipped, the timings usually are:
Netherlands:Â 2 â 5 business days
Europe:Â 5 â 14 days
United States/Canada/Australia/New Zealand:Â 10 â 30 days
Rest of the world:Â 7 â 60 days
Before contacting us, please allow your order to arrive within:
â 2 weeks within the Netherlands;
â 4 weeks within the EU;
â 12 weeks outside the EU.
During (bank) holidays packages take longer to arrive.
*Â 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 youâve 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 youâre 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 costs?
If youâre outside the EU itâs possible that your government charges import costs and taxes on your order. Import costs are not included in the order total and are paid for by the receiver of the order. The amount depends on which country you live in, please check on the website of your government.
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 âparcel postâ 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 thatâs too small cannot be compensated.
What to do when my order has arrived damaged?
So sorry this has happened, but if it's because of mishandling by your postal services and it's not because your mailbox slot is too small (see below), we'll sort it together.
Firstly, get in touch with your national or local postal service to file a complaint. In the Netherlands thatâs DHL.
Secondly, get in touch with us so we can maybe sort it out. We want you to be happy, of course.
If you chose for mailbox delivery but your mailbox slot is too small to fit the envelope, thereâs not much we can do unfortunately, as itâs the receivers responsibility to pick âparcel postâ 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 youâve received. Once your order has shipped out, adjustments or cancellations are not possible.
Can I return my order?
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 youâve received a product you didnât order and itâs 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 thatâs on pre-order with a product thatâs 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 donât offer personalised advice for framing art or prints. If youâre 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.
