General shipping questions -

When will my order ship?

• Original paintings - 1-3 business days 
• Unframed Prints - 3-6 business days
• Framed Prints - 3-6 business days
• Phone Cases - 2-5 business days
• Tote Bags - 9-14 business days
• Mugs - 3-6 business days

Original paintings are shipped direct from my Scotia, NY studio. All other products are printed professionally offsite and will ship from North Carolina or California for domestic customers or Barcelona and Latvia for customers from international locations. This is to ensure the vast majority of you won't have to pay large duty taxes or experience customs delays. Some will though, please read below for more info on international purchases.

______________________________________________

How long will it take to receive my order?

Shipments within the US - Original paintings will take between 3-6 business days to receive domestically after shipment. All other items will take between 3-10 business days to receive domestically.

International shipments -  Anywhere from 7-25 business days. This is largely due to the amount of time packages spend in customs. Please see more regarding international purchases below.

Will you ship my order as a gift to a different recipient?

Yes! Add your item(s) to the bag and then click the little bag icon at the top right of the page to start checkout. Once on that page, please add your gift message in the text box below your chosen items labeled "add a note to your order". Click the checkout button. Then put the recipients address in the ship to field instead of your own. Then make sure your bill to address is yours. 

That's it! The package will be sent straight to the gift recipient and the gift message will be included. No pricing / invoice will be included in the package - just the gift message. 

Make sure you let the recipient know who the package is coming from in your message - I have had people reach out asking me to tell them who sent them a gift from my shop, and I am legally obligated to withhold customer information for privacy reasons, so the recipient won't know who it's from unless you tell them!

It is SUPER RARE for a package to fall off the radar, but it can happen.

A package is not considered missing until 30 days after shipment. Tracking is included with all purchases, and if tracking stops for an extended period of time (10 business days domestically, 30 days internationally) I can put a trace on it and have USPS search specifically for it.

Please note - Once the package tracking states that it has been delivered, our responsibility has ended as the package has been successfully delivered according to the shipper. Please ensure you have a safe place for your packages to be left. If you worry about your package being stolen from your porch, please reach out and I will ensure signature delivery is required. This option is available for an additional fee.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS - A package is NOT considered missing if it is simply held in customs. That is between you and your country, and I have no power over how long they hold your package in customs. Please though reach out if your package tracking has not moved in 30 days. A new package will be sent should yours go missing.

Tracking states my item was delivered but I never received it. What now?

I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble locating your package. Please check around your house to see that it wasn't left in an inconspicuous spot or, say in the case of rolled prints in tubes, that it didn't roll under some bushes, the porch, etc. Ask your neighbors, sometimes the postal carrier gets mixed up and delivers packages to nearby houses by mistake. 

If you live in an apartment building, please ask your neighbors as well as contact your super / building owner. If you had it sent to your office, please ask the mailroom.

Still can't find it? You will need to contact your local post office with the tracking number to work with them. All items that have been marked delivered to the confirmed address on the order are considered successfully delivered.

______________________________________________

Please contact me immediately and take pictures of the packaging and the damaged product. Please send those along in an email to sagittariusgallery@gmail.com with your order number.

A new product will be sent asap to replace the damaged one. 

If it is an original painting that was damaged, I can not send a new one - a refund will be remitted. But I will need all images of packaging to file an insurance claim. I will also need it to be returned to me (unless it is completely destroyed, in which case I will need pics.) It is rare something like this happens, but it is not outside the realm of possibility.

______________________________________________

I received the wrong item, what now?

Another rare occurrence, but it has happened! Should you receive something different from what you ordered, please take a picture of what was received with the packing slip and email sagittariusgallery@gmail.com. The correct item will be shipped ASAP. No need to return the incorrect item - keep or discard as you see fit.

International shipping questions - 

Many countries assess duties and taxes on imported packages. Sometimes these fees can be quite high. If you are uncertain of the amount that you could be assessed, you might want to check on it and cancel the order if you think this could be a problem. After I confirm shipment, the cancellation option is no longer available.

Here is a link to give you the approximate costs (you will need to cut and paste this link):
www.dutycalculator.com/new-import-duty-and-tax-calculation

Generally, you will use "photographic print", "canvas print", or "original painting" as the product description. I can't confirm the accuracy of this calculator, but it should give you a general idea. There might also be a handling charge. Ask your post office.

______________________________________________

No. It is illegal and I will not risk my business over it. Please do not sellers to do this. I will not do it, ever.

______________________________________________

I ship as soon as possible - please see above for estimated fulfillment times for each type of product. Please understand though that I am *not* in charge of how long a package takes to make it through your country's customs. Please allow time for your package to clear customs and make its way to you. I can't make it go any faster, and you have tracking to show exactly where it is along the journey to you.

Collecting your package is your responsibility - please keep an eye on tracking and keep an eye out for any notes from your postal service about package collection, as duty fees / customs fees may need to be paid before they can give you the package. I will not mark your order as a gift - that would be a crime and I will not risk my business. If a package is returned to me because it was unclaimed, it will be held until arrangements are made for the package to be reshipped at your expense.
