Shipping & Delivery

Shipping and Returns Policy

Thank you for shopping at Studio A! We want to ensure that your experience with us is smooth and satisfactory. You can review our shipping and returns policy outlined below:

1. Shipping (within Australia)
  1. We currently offer shipping to customers both within Australia and internationally (See Section 2 regarding International postage). Shipping fees and delivery times may vary based on the destination and the weight or size of the artwork being shipped.
  2. We aim to process and dispatch orders within 1-2 business days after the payment has been successfully processed. However, please note that some artworks may require additional time for packaging and handling. Dispatch times can also be affected by whether they feature in a current exhibition and by where the work on sale is located.
  3. Once your order has been shipped, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking information, if applicable. Please ensure that the shipping address provided during checkout is accurate and complete. We are not responsible for any delays or additional costs resulting from incorrect or incomplete addresses.
  4. Studio A partners with reputable shipping carriers to ensure the safe and timely delivery of your artwork. However, please note that we cannot guarantee specific delivery dates or be held responsible for any delays caused by unforeseen circumstances or events beyond our control, such as customs processes, natural disasters, or public holidays.
2. International Postage
  1. For international shipments, please note that additional customs fees, taxes, or import duties may apply. These charges are the responsibility of the customer and are not included in the artwork's purchase price or shipping fees.
  2. Studio A is not responsible for any delays, additional charges, or issues arising from customs processes or regulations of the destination country. It is the customer's responsibility to comply with any applicable customs requirements or restrictions.
  3. Please be aware that international shipments may take longer to arrive due to customs clearance procedures and varying delivery times in different countries. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

  2. Any delivery timeframes provided are estimates and Studio A is not responsible for delays.
  3. Please check your address details carefully on the order – returns due to incomplete or incorrect address details may incur additional charges. If we are unable to deliver your package and it is returned to us, a re-delivery charge may apply (regardless if the order originally qualified for freight-free shipping).

1. If you wish to cancel your order, please contact our customer support team as soon as possible at sales@studioa.org.au. We will use reasonable efforts to accommodate your cancellation request before the artwork is shipped, but the final decision will be at Studio A’s discretion. If we do accommodate your cancellation request, you will still be responsible for any incurred charges (yours or ours) that cannot be avoided.  

2. Once the artwork has been shipped, the order cannot be cancelled. In such cases, you may refer to our Returns and Refunds section (Section 3) for instructions on returning the artwork.
