Shipping Carriers

We ship via the United States Postal Service (USPS) or UPS anywhere in the United States and Canada using the fastest delivery option contingent with the weight of the package, destination, and paid shipping rate. If your shipping address cannot accept one of our shipping carriers, please let us know in the message box located in the shipping address confirmation page when you checkout.

We do not partner with Fedex or other shipping carriers. If you must request Fedex as the shipping carrier, please understand there is an additional delay in shipping out your order and we can only ship using your Fedex account at your risk.

Products Not-in-Stock - Backorder Policy

We do not represent live inventory on our website. Due to the nature of importing and acquiring rare and historical raw art materials, not all products in our catalog are readily available. Your order will ship right away if at least 50% of your order is in stock. Any products not in stock will be backordered, in most cases, at our discretion. Backordered items usually take within 3-5 weeks to become available. (Current as of March 25, 2021).

If your order is missing more than 50% of the requested products, we will notify you very soon with an estimated time of availability and delivery.

We are always glad to hear from you. Do not hesitate to contact us about the status of your backorder.
