SHIPPING ART
I work to keep things simple for you. If you are in the continental US, there is no additional charge for shipping. To ship art to Hawaii, Alaska, or internationally, there will be a surcharge for the cost over domestic shipping costs, and there may be taxes or duties levied by your government.
When you purchase my work on my website you should receive a confirmation email from lorin.labardee@gmail.com. Check your spam folder, if you did not receive it.
If you are in the Tucson area, I’m happy to deliver the work directly to you. If you are outside the Tucson area, your painting will be carefully packed for shipping. This can take up to a week, depending on the size of the painting.
If the work is shipped, I will let you know once your piece is shipped, along with the tracking number so that you can track it on-line.
I generally ship smaller paintings by USPS or FedEx ground and can ship to your home or office.
For large paintings, I work with a freight service and we will work with you to coordinate the delivery.
Packaging
Paintings with sides that are less than 48" in length will be wrapped in glassine paper to protect the art and bubble wrap and packed in a padded envelope for smaller works on paper or cardboard box or crates for larger or multiple works on paper or canvas, depending on the size of the piece. I recycle shipping packaging as much as possible but am always careful to choose packaging that’s structurally sound and will protect the art.
There are options for shipping paintings with at least one side 48" or larger. I can remove it from the stretcher bar and roll it up in a tube. With this approach, you will need to have the canvas re-stretched when you receive it. If you have purchased a painting that needs to be stretched and you would like it shipped directly to a framer, please contact me at lorin.labardee@gmail.com to make the arrangements. If you prefer to have a large painting shipped already on stretcher bars, I will ship it in a custom built crate. All shipping costs are included for U.S. domestic shipping. There are additional charges for to ship to international addresses and addresses in Alaska and Hawaii.
Packing (and US domestic shipping) is included as a complimentary service on all my work
I usually ship paintings by USPS, FedEx, UPS, and if you are in the Tucson area, I often can deliver artworks in person. Larger works are shipped by a freight.
Paintings are shipped out from Tucson, AZ, USA.
Delivery time
Generally, your painting will be packaged within 7 working days of payment and then shipped. The time for delivery varies, depending where you are. If I am traveling or the work is on exhibit, there may be a longer delivery time, but I will communicate that by email.
Expedited shipping
Yes, I include ground/postal for shipping to addresses in the continental US in my prices, but if you would like a more expedited shipping option that is available for an extra fee. Please contact me at lorin.labardee@gmail.com and I can calculate the expedited shipping surcharge.
Shipping costs
I include shipping costs to addresses in the continental US in the price of the painting. For expedited shipping or shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, or internationally, please contact me at lorin.labardee@gmail.com for the additional shipping costs.
When to expect your work
I will send you an anticipated delivery date and can send the tracking number. For larger paintings, you may want to make arrangements to have someone at home to sign for and receive the painting or make arrangements with the courier to pick up.
In order to ship your work please provide the following
I will need a complete shipping address, either a residence or a business. Smaller pieces can be shipped to US post box numbers, but larger pieces (over 14”x14”) typically need to ship to a residence or business address.
