Exchange is available for change of mind, products must be returned in original condition unopened within 7 days of delivery.

If returning a product for exchange please include appropriate pre-paid packaging for your new product of choice to be return posted. e.g. Australia post satchel with tracking. If there are any other problems, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Returns Policy For Art & Prints

Due to the sensitive nature of transporting art, returns and exchanges are not offered on prints or original works of art simply for change of mind. Prints are printed especially for you. I recommend that you have your prints professionally framed for the best preservation. 

DO NOT HANG ART IN DAMP AREAS, IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR NEAR HEAT, e.g over a fireplace.

All artwork is handled with the utmost care during the packaging process. In the unlikely circumstance of your delivery being damaged in transit, please PHOTOGRAPH THE PACKAGING PRIOR to opening the parcel and then PHOTOGRAPH THE DAMAGED ART inside.

From the moment a painting is made, it begins to age. As the painting continues to age, both the paint film and priming lose flexibility and can become brittle. Expansion and contraction of the fabric support, due to absorption and release of moisture from the air, adds further strain which can lead to crack formation. I use the best quality materials to reduce the effects of ageing.

I do not accept any returns based on artwork ageing.

Send images to artist@alicewestart.com.au and I will replace your print with an identical one. For originals that are damaged during transit, please return your painting well packaged to Alice West Art, please contact me to arrange return shipping and I will replace it with a commission. Please note that the commission will be similar but may vary slightly. Due to the detailed nature of my paintings, it may take some time to re-paint the painting. Time will vary depending on the size and detail.
