Shipping and Delivery
Last Updated: February 1, 2026.
At Strokes & Splinters, delivery is treated as an extension of the artwork experience. Each piece is handled with museum-level care to ensure it arrives safely, securely, and in pristine condition.
1. Delivery Approach
All shipments are arranged individually after acquisition confirmation. Because each artwork is unique in size, material, and destination, delivery is customized rather than standardized.
We coordinate:
professional packaging
secure transit
insurance coverage
documentation
Collectors are personally guided through delivery arrangements once the purchase is finalized.
2. Processing Timeline
Shipping preparation begins after cleared payment and typically includes:
condition inspection
protective wrapping
custom crating (if required)
documentation preparation
Preparation time generally ranges from 3–10 business days, depending on artwork complexity.
3. International Shipping
We proudly place artworks with collectors worldwide. International deliveries include:
export documentation
customs paperwork
transit insurance
tracking coordination
Estimated delivery times range from 5–14 business days, depending on destination and customs clearance.
4. Customs Duties & Import Taxes
International collectors are responsible for any applicable:
customs duties
import taxes
VAT or local fees
These charges are determined by the destination country and are not controlled by our gallery. We recommend consulting your local customs authority for estimated costs before purchase.
5. Packaging Standards
All artworks are packaged according to professional fine-art transport standards, which may include:
acid-free wrapping
reinforced corner protection
shock-absorbing layers
climate-protective materials
custom crates for delicate works
Our goal is simple: the artwork should arrive exactly as it left the studio.
6. Insurance Coverage
Every shipment is fully insured for its declared value during transit. In the rare event of damage, our team will manage the claims process directly and discreetly.
7. Delivery Confirmation
Collectors may be asked to sign for delivery upon receipt. This ensures a secure handover and confirms safe arrival.
8. Address Accuracy
Collectors are responsible for providing accurate delivery details. We cannot be held responsible for delays or losses resulting from incorrect or incomplete shipping information.
