Please find details about shipping below, but if you have any questions please contact: sales@partnershipeditions.com.
We recommend that you read our shipping terms below for a full understanding of how we work.
Shipping
All our artworks are sent via a tracked and signed for service. Once payment has been received, we will despatch the artwork as soon as possible, and will aim to get your artwork to you within two weeks of purchase. Please note that some artworks are made to order and may have a longer lead time (this will be noted on the product page). Please get in touch if you'd like to receive your piece by a certain date and we will do our best to get it to you in time.
Please note that our standard shipping rates are for an uninsured service, and we cannot be responsible for any damages caused in transit. If you would like to opt for an insured service, please contact us before or after purchase and we can assist with a quote and upgrade your shipment to insured for an additional fee. If you don't contact us within 24 hours of purchase, your work will be sent on our standard service.
Once despatched, you will receive a tracking number so you can follow its progress. We would recommend that you are home to receive your delivery as a signature is required. If you'd like to change your delivery address after you've placed the order (e.g. to an office address where someone is there to sign), then please email sales@partnershipeditions.com.
Shipping costs for overseas buyers will be automatically calculated at check-out once you enter your shipping country. We will also be in touch after your purchase to let you know of an expected delivery date. We are unable to be day-specific with international shipments, however the shipper should be in touch with you to notify you of the progress. Artworks shipping overseas can take up to four weeks to arrive.
Import Duties
Please note that if you are purchasing from abroad, or if the artist you are buying a work by is based abroad, then additional import duties may apply (usually around 5% of the value of the artwork). If the artwork is being shipped from outside the UK, then this will be outlined on the product page so that you are aware that import duties may apply. These are at the cost of the buyer and will be charged to you by the shipped upon import. If the duties are not paid on time and the work is returned to us, then it is at the cost of the buyer to have the work shipped to you again. For any questions about import please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Packaging
Where possible, we will try to flat pack your artwork to prevent curling. If your artwork is large, or if it is deemed safe to roll it, we will do so to protect it during transit.
If your artwork is received in a tube, we recommend removing it from the tube as soon as possible (ideally by a framer), to prevent curling.
If you have purchased a pastel or charcoal work of art, please take the artwork straight to a framer before removing from its cellophane sleeve, to prevent smudging (as although the works have been fixed, some residue dust may still come off of the artwork.)
All artworks are accompanied by certificates of authenticity.

6. PROVIDING THE PRODUCTS
6.1 Delivery costs. The costs of delivery are as displayed to you on our website, being in any event the following:
For unframed artworks, shipping and packaging within the UK is an added flat fee of £12 and is sent via a tracked and signed for service. Once payment has been received, we will be in touch with you to arrange a shipping date - most shipments are despatched every Tuesday to arrive Wednesday unless requested to delay.
Artworks purchased by buyers outside of the UK can take up to 2 weeks to arrive, depending on their final destination. Shipping is an additional cost for such buyers and will be calculated once you enter your shipping address in the checkout process. Please note that additional import taxes and duties may also apply.
For Framed, Large or Fragile artworks, shipping and packaging within the UK is an added flat fee of £25 due to the fragile nature of the artwork. For international shipments, your shipping cost will be calculated at check-out once you have entered your address.
We charge a flat fee of £2 for collections, which covers administrative costs and packaging. Collections are possible from our Hackney Downs Studios address (E8 2BT). If you select “Collect” at check-out, we will be in touch by email to arrange a time that suits you. Please do not collect without arranging appointment.
6.2 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end our contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.
6.3 If you are not at home when the product is delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery, you should contact the shipper (via the slip left) with your tracking number so that you can rearrange delivery. We are not responsible for any costs incurred or damage to the product as a result of your not being at home when the product is delivered and for delivery having to be rearranged.
6.4 If you do not re-arrange delivery. If you do not collect the products as arranged or if, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end our contract with you.

We may also contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end our contract with you or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
