DELIVERY
How long will it take for delivery of my artwork?
If it’s a gallery stock item, we will usually despatch within 48hrs of receiving your order. On occasion the artworks need to be shipped to us first from our artists/designers. Bespoke (made to order) items can take much longer. Our average delivery time is between 5 – 8 days, dependent on product.

Palletised Shipping:
For larger more bespoke items we use palletised shipping.
It allows us to provide additional packaging to protect your beautiful purchases.

We can offer a next day delivery (please be aware we need time to pack your item also) anywhere in the UK, or a 3-day service at a reduced price. Prices on application (we just need your full postal address).
It’s crucial someone is there to sign for the item, and the delivery truck has clear access to your property. We are always happy to discuss this as an option.

Prices for international shipping will be provided on request.
Prices vary dependent on scale / weight /destination.
International shipping can incur import duties and taxes, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to pay these charges at destination, your local customs and excise office will advise on these costs before purchase.
Sculpture Lounge Ltd will not be responsible for any import duties and taxes.

What happens if my item arrives damaged or has not arrived?
On rare occasions things can go wrong, but we are here to help.
