Package and Shipping
What Shipping Methods Are Available?
I use certified couriers (UPS, DHL, Fedex…) and choose one of them based on the size of the painting.
How long does the package take to arrive?
The packaging usually takes 5 working days to prepare and then be sent to the shipping agency, which usually takes an average of 4-5 days to deliver the package to its recipient. Eventually, you will want to make a priority shipment with a special delivery date; in that case, contact the artist by email to make a reservation (Surcharge included).
Is framing available for shipping?
At the moment, I do not have facilities for the framing of the pieces.
How do I find out what are the shipping costs for my country?
Calculation of the shipping fee that applies to your country is on the cart page.
What to do when a package is damaged?
If you see any damage when your package is being delivered, you can either refuse the shipment as [damaged – return to sender] or you can have the delivery company mark the tracking as [received damaged, subject to further inspection]. Please file the claim immediately! You also must keep all boxes and packing material. When you call you will need the tracking number of your box, a description of the damage, and its value. Make photos of the damages package and send them to Raul M. Sarante with the info of your actions on it.
