Shipping Policy
International Shipping
As a small business we take a hands on approach to international purchases. Our shipping companies are MDS Collivery and DHL.
Your first step is to let us know which artworks you'd like to purchase. You can do that by completing the Contact form on our Contact page or emailing us at renalexis@live.com. You're also more than welcome to contact us through our social media sites. When you've informed us of your choice(s), we'll ask you for your shipping address which will enable us to get a shipping fee, for you, from our shipping company. At this stage we'll need your email and cellphone number to add to our Invoice and for shipping, and we'll send you an Invoice showing the total cost of your purchase. Now you can make your payment. We use Paypal as our payment gate. When your payment reflects on Paypal, the processing and shipping of your purchase will begin. It can take up to 14 days to ship your artwork(s), and we'll keep you updated regarding the process.

Please take note, customs charges e.g. fees for VAT and duties is the responsibility of the buyer.
