MAKING A PURCHASE

Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse the site and select the product(s) you want to be added to the shopping cart. Payment for the items you order is taken at the time that you checkout. This will also include delivery costs and postage and packing. Credit card numbers are not held on this website. A credit or debit card number will be requested only on the secure (SSL) area of our Payment Service Provider.

DELIVERY

I undertake to dispatch all orders within 7 days (often much sooner than this). If you need a special delivery date, I offer an Express Service.  Normally, unframed pictures and party invitations are sent via Royal Mail – 1st class letter post for UK destinations and airmail for Europe and International. Framed pictures (UK only) are sent by Parcel force.  Express delivery on all products to UK addresses should take 3 working days (i.e. you should receive your goods 3 days after you first placed your order), and items will need to be signed for; deliveries outside the UK are by Airsure - goods are given priority flights and can be tracked, but exact delivery times cannot be guaranteed.  Please contact me to ensure that any special needs can be catered for.

RETURNS

Although I aim to send all orders promptly and in perfect condition, I recognise that very occasionally mistakes can occur and that packages can be damaged in transit. If you have a complaint about an order, please contact me within 7 days of receipt (and before returning any items), and I will do my best to rectify the problem.

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY
