Art Sales

Individual merchants contacted through ArtFair provide their own order processing and customer service. The art for sale on ArtFair is priced excluding packing, shipping, customs charges and insurance costs. ArtFair is not responsible for international duties or taxes. All duties and taxes in relationship to your order are the responsibility or the purchaser. When an enquiry has been made, the seller will contact the enquirer to discuss any extra charges that may be payable. Buyers are requested to fully remove the art work from its packing and inspect it immediately upon receipt. Any complaints must be sent directly to the seller. Prepayment required via bank transfer. In the event of shipping damage, please save all packing materials and photograph the artwork at time of signature. Always report damage to the seller immediately via email.
