FAQ’s:
SHIPPING & PACKAGING
When will my item arrive?
- Originals: I always do my best to ship your artwork as quickly as possible. However, shipping art from Italy takes a bit more time because of strict export regulations for art that leaves the country. Every original piece of art leaving Italy must obtain official export permission in the form of a document, stamped and signed by the Ministry of Culture. Even though today this can be done online, it can still take a few days. I promise I will ship orders within 1 to 2 weeks.
DHL and FedEx usually deliver within 3-7 days, depending on the destination. They will send you the tracking code so you can follow your shipment. - Art Bags: please allow 3 days to pack your bag for shipping by Poste IT. Delivery is dependent on the destination. When the bag of your choice is out of stock, it can take 3-5 weeks before it is restocked since all art bags are handmade in small local sewing shops in Sarnano. If this is the case, I will inform you.
- Art Prints: please allow 3-10 working days for Europe, USA, and Canada, and 5-15 working days for ROW, as your print is handmade to order. It takes an extra 10 working days to dispatch framed prints.
Can I track my order?
- All original art is sent with track and trace through Fedex so you can follow your shipment. You will receive notification from Fedex directly.
