Our Policies

Our exclusive prints, carefully rolled and packaged in durable cardboard, are shipped using tracked and signed services for customers in Ireland, the UK, and the International (RoW) markets. The shipping fee is determined by the weight, size, and destination of the artwork.

Kim Smart Art, based in the UK, primarily dispatches orders from the UK.

Shipping Rates:

Print only (All sizes)

United Kingdom £8

Germany £8

EU £11

EEA & CH £16

United States £37.50

Canada £45.00

ROW £66

By default, orders to the UK and EU/EEA are sent via postage. Orders shipped outside the UK and EU/EEA are always shipped via Express Courier.

Note: Prices may vary based on parcel dimensions and weight. Kim Smart Art upholds transparency and will clearly communicate any additional charges when applicable.

For original art, which comes in various sizes and weights, a custom quote is required. We utilize PACK & SEND for large art deliveries across the UK, Ireland, Europe, and beyond, with customers only billed for transit and paperwork costs.

Given that most items are made to order and may undergo customs checks, please expect a delivery timeframe of 10-15 working days once the order is processed.

To minimize the risk of damage when receiving a fine art print from Kim Smart Art, please follow the handling tips outlined below:

Protect Until Framed:

To shield your print from dust and moisture, keep it protected until it is framed.

Two-Hand Support:

Support your print with two hands to prevent bending, as a crease in the print will be permanent.

Handle with Care:

Keep handling to an absolute minimum to avoid any potential damage.

Edge/Handling Border Grip:

When handling your print, use a grip on the edges or handling border to minimize the risk of touching the printed area.

Avoid Fingerprints:

Refrain from touching the printed area directly, as fingerprints may mark the print.

Dust Removal Caution:

Do not use your hands to wipe off dust, as this can scratch the printed area. Instead, if needed, consider using compressed air for dust removal.

Moisture-Free Dust Removal:

Never blow on the prints to remove dust, as moisture can adversely affect the paper.

Image Side Up:

Always avoid placing the print image side down on any surface to prevent permanent scuffing.

Our return policy extends for a period of 30 days from the date of item receipt, providing you ample time to request a return.

To qualify for a return, the item must remain in its original packaging and be in the same condition as when you received it. Additionally, please retain the receipt or proof of purchase for eligibility.
