Shipping Costs

Shipping is free within the UK.

Outside the UK, shipping costs vary according to purchase. 

Large Originals {60cm and over}: Typically between £75 and £150 depending on your location

Small Originals {up to 60cm}: Typically between £30 and £75 depending on your location

Works on Paper: £15 anywhere outside the UK 

Originals on Wood Panel & Canvas

Some works are already framed, for which the cost is included in the price.

If the original is described as unframed, you have the option of framing it yourself, or I can get it framed prior to shipping. If you'd like to discuss framing options, please contact me at tara@taraleaver.com.

Please note: I am happy to organise framing for you, however please be aware that framing can add significantly to international shipping cost. If we arrange for me to frame your painting, I will get you a quote beforehand, as it may be better for you to take it to your local framer. In the event that you'd like me to go ahead and organise framing, I will send you an invoice for any extra shipping costs.

Prints

Prints are shipped unframed. I do not offer framing for prints as it necessitates using perspex instead of glass, which doesn't do justice to the quality of the artwork, as well as significantly increasing shipping costs.

Originals

Originals purchased from this website are shipped from my home. I package the artwork with great care, and use recycled and recyclable materials where possible.

Original works come with a certificate of authenticity and a handwritten note.

Prints

Prints are created to order by my local printer and packaged with great care using acid free tissue, and rolled securely in a sturdy cardboard tube.
