Frequently Asked Questions

it's just a print…what am I paying for ?

Hi, and thanks for being thorough in your shopping.  Not everyone can afford original art, although I try to make my pricing in this regard very competitive, however, in that respect, I offer re-print options.  These are the factors that determine the price you pay:  

• First, is to understand the quality you are getting.  For example, while you can buy “canvas prints” in many places, there is a massive different between a fine art canvas print made on a Chinese imported canvas printed on an HP Latex printer that will likely fade or yellow on your wall vs. a print made on an archival, 100-year rated canvas printed on an Epson printer with 100-year rated inks.  Whenever you start comparing prices, you should find out exactly what you are getting. I am confident that I will be extremely competitive for the offering provided.

• Second, too many art printing companies hide the printer, medium, and inks they use to make prints.  While some may be transparent about certain media types (i.e. photo papers), they will hide information about others (this is especially true when it comes to canvas, but includes other media types).  This makes it much harder to understand what you are buying and whether you can stand behind your art. It also makes it hard to know whether you are being screwed, or just ripped off. You should be able to make an apples to apples comparison.

• Third, my fulfillment vendors are held to a very high standard.  First, they are contractually obligated to specify the printer, media, and ink used.  The contract also limits them from being able to change any of these on you. For example, they cannot cut a corner by implementing a cheaper 3rd party ink that is no longer 100-year rated.  Simply put - No changes are allowed without my explicit approval. In the end, all of this saves you time and hassle.  You can buy me knowing I’m doing all this work for you. 

Finally, in a small business setting like mine, there is the printer/fabricator who sets most of the pricing, the website company who takes a cut, the credit card payment/security company who takes a cut, and finally I’m left with what’s left.  So there are a lot of people talking a slice of the pie. What’s good, is that ultimately, a purchase from me supports many industries and workers right here in the USA.

WHAT IS YOUR POLICY ON RETURNS/EXCHANGES/REFUNDS?

Returns on Damaged or Missing Items Only:

The policy here on my artist page is to ensure you’re completely satisfied with the execution and quality of your purchase. If there is a damaged shipment, a damaged frame or print, or there's a part of your order missing...please contact me here [ insert link to contact page] and include your order number and a brief description of what’s going on. I will contact you to see how I can help rectify the situation.  IF you get the item you ordered, and there is nothing wrong with it, but you just "don't like it after all," then I'm afraid there is no option for return, as this was a custom created and produced print, so weigh your choices carefully.  This is why I've provided a Virtual Room feature, and Augmented Reality feature to help ensure you're making the best decision. Please understand, this is not Walmart...it's a custom art print just for you.

There’s a 15% restocking fee that is applied for any order canceled or exchanged.

Can I cancel my order?

Unless your order has already gone into production you can cancel it. Please contact heydarren@hotmail.com as soon as possible if you need to cancel your order.

How long does it take to process a refund?

Processing a refund can take up to 7-10 business days.

Can I ship to Canada/International/APO/FPO addresses?

Yes. Additional charges may apply. Items will be shipped USPS Priority International or FedEx, per request. See our shipping information for full details.
