1. ART – ORIGINALS

Placing your order: for ordering a Original Art item (one of a kind, made by Wieteke) please reach out to us via the contact form next to the item in the webshop – or by writing to: Info@design4awareness.com Also; if you have any general questions about any art piece, you can ask them there.

Shipping costs: prices on the website are exclusive shipping costs as shipping costs will differ per item (what size it has) and per country.
We work with a professional company that specializes in shipping art. The total estimated costs of carefully wrapping your item and it’s safe delivery to your home, will be shared with you by e-mail asap, after you informed us of your interest in a specific work of art. After we’ve let you know the additional costs of shipping the item to your address, we ask you to let us know within 3 days whether you agree on the sum total price of the item including these shipping costs. Once we know of this – and this amount has been transferred by IBAN (Internet Banking); we will get everything organized for you as soon as possible.

Shipping times: Original Art will be shipped subject to Wieteke’s availability – typically within 7 days of purchase *

* TRAVEL Exception: some people like their item to be authographed / signed by Wieteke herself – on the back of the canvas for instance.
If in such occasions she is away on travels – you may have to wait a little longer for your item to be ready for shipping, until she is back.
In this case; we will ask you to make a downpayment so the item will remain reserved for you untill she returns home and will be able to
sign the item personally to you – before it will be sent on it’s way.

Refunds Original Art:

Original art items are wrapped and shipped by a separate expert company, to make sure your item arrives in perfect state.
Due to the sensitive nature of wrapping and shipping canvasses, and the possible damage that may occor to it at your place or
on it’s way ‘back’ to us, we cannot refund purchases of Original Art.

Important! Due to Australia’s laws on importing wood products, we do not ship canvas prints to Australia.
