Shipping Policy
On the journey from my studio to your walls—here's what to expect along the way:
Shipping Costs Shipping is free on original canvas artwork over $500 CAD within Canada and the contiguous United States (48 states). For collectors in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or anywhere else outside Canada and the contiguous U.S., please contact me via the ‘Let’s Connect’ page and I will happily find a shipping quote for you. Oversized artwork (generally 48" and larger) requires either: A. Custom freight shipping to ensure it arrives safely or B. Removal of canvas from its wood frame so it can be rolled and shipped in a tube. Collector responsible for having it re-stretched once received. If you're interested in one of these pieces, simply reach out through the ‘Let's Connect’ page and I'll reserve the artwork for up to 48 hours while we discuss the options. I will then obtain a shipping quote and prepare a custom checkout link. For added peace of mind, every original painting requires a signature upon delivery and is shipped fully insured against loss or damage during transit to ensure it arrives safely. **ATTENTION U.S. COLLECTORS** As of August 22, 2026, original artwork from Canada is subject to a new 50% U.S. import tariff, a significant change from its previous duty-free treatment. I refuse to let these unexpected & absurd costs stand between you and a piece of art that speaks to you. To help ease the burden, in addition to free shipping on originals over $500.00 CAD, AARCworks will absorb half (25%) of the tariff, with the remaining half (25%) reflected in your order. Thank you for going the extra mile to fill your environment with artwork that inspires you and for your support my small business.

Packaging Every original artwork is carefully packaged using premium, acid-free materials and protective padding to help ensure it arrives safely. Each original painting includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity. >Original Canvas Paintings Shipped gallery wrapped and ready to hang unless otherwise requested. >Large Stretched Paintings (over 36" × 48") Shipped via custom freight for added protection. >Original Paintings on Unstretched Canvas Carefully rolled and shipped in a protective tube, making them ideal for collectors who plan to stretch or frame the artwork locally. >Original Paintings on Paper Packaged flat whenever possible to minimize the risk of bending or warping. >Fine Art Prints Packaged and shipped according to my professional print partner's standards.
Processing & Delivery Times Because oil paintings need time to fully cure before they can be varnished and safely packaged, processing times vary depending on the artwork. >Completed Original Paintings Please allow 2–3 business days for processing before shipment. >Works in Progress Please allow 2–4 weeks before shipment. >Commissioned Artwork A timeline will be discussed during your consultation based on my current waitlist and the complexity of your piece. If additional time is ever required, I'll contact you as soon as possible with an updated estimate. Once shipped, delivery within Canada and the contiguous United States typically takes 5–10 business days, although carrier delays can occasionally occur, particularly when crossing boarders or during holiday periods. Need your artwork by a specific date? Please reach out before placing your order. Where possible, I will happily work with you; prioritizing your artwork and arranging for expedited shipping. Additional rush processing and shipping fees may apply.
Address Changes If you need to update your shipping address, please contact me within 24 hours of placing your order. Once an order has shipped, I'm no longer able to change the delivery address. If an incorrect shipping address is provided at checkout and the artwork is returned to me, any refund will be issued less the original shipping costs and any applicable return shipping or restocking fees.
