Shipping Policy
Fulfillment
We are committed to getting your piece to you as quickly as possible. The majority of orders are fulfilled and handed to our shipping carrier within 6 hours of purchase, Monday through Saturday.
Orders placed on Sundays or public holidays will be processed the following business day. You will receive a tracking number by email as soon as your order ships.
Please note that most deliveries will require a signature upon receipt. We recommend selecting a delivery address where someone will be available to sign.
Domestic Shipping
We ship throughout the United States via insured, tracked carriers. Depending on your location and the shipping method selected at checkout, estimated delivery times are as follows:
| Shipping Method | Estimated Delivery | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 3–5 business days | Available on all items |
| Expedited | 2 business days | Available on most items |
| Overnight | Next business day | Order by 12pm EST |
Shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on item weight, dimensions, and destination. All shipments are fully insured for the purchase value.
International Shipping
We are happy to ship to clients worldwide. International shipping is handled on a per-order basis — once you place your order, our team will prepare a personalised shipping quote based on your location and the nature of the piece.
We will contact you directly via email with full details including cost, estimated transit time, and any applicable customs or import duties. Customs and import fees are the responsibility of the recipient and vary by country.
For international enquiries prior to purchase, please contact us at info@yorksshonagallery.com or via the chat on our website. We're happy to provide a quote before you commit.
Stone Sculptures, Large Giraffes, Furniture & Large Artworks
Due to the delicate nature, substantial size, and varying weights of these pieces, standard shipping rates do not apply. All oversized and fragile items require an individual freight quote — this applies to both US and international clients.
Once you complete your purchase online, our team will reach out directly with a tailored freight quote. Specialised crating, white-glove delivery, and installation services are available on request.
For a freight estimate before purchasing, please email us at info@yorksshonagallery.com. We'll respond within one business day.
Handling & Packaging
Every piece is carefully prepared for transit by our team. Sculptures and fragile works are individually wrapped, cushioned, and double-boxed using archival-quality materials designed to protect the integrity of the piece during shipping.
Furniture and large items are padded, wrapped, and secured on pallets where appropriate. For exceptionally fragile or valuable pieces, custom wooden crating is used at no additional charge.
We take the same care in packaging as we do in curating — your piece should arrive exactly as it left us.
Damaged & Lost Shipments
All shipments are fully insured for their purchase value. In the unlikely event that your piece arrives damaged or is lost in transit, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery (or the expected delivery date) so we can initiate a claim on your behalf.
To process a damage claim, please retain all original packaging materials and provide photographic documentation of the damage. We will work with the carrier to resolve the matter as quickly as possible and ensure you are made whole.
Please do not discard packaging until the claim is fully resolved. Contact us at info@yorksshonagallery.com with your order number and photos.
Returns & Exchanges
Please review and edit the following placeholder text to reflect your actual returns policy before publishing.
We accept returns on eligible items within [14] days of delivery, provided the piece is returned in its original condition and packaging. To initiate a return, please contact us at info@yorksshonagallery.com within the return window with your order number and reason for return.
Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer unless the return is due to an error on our part or a damaged item. Refunds are processed within [7] business days of receiving the returned piece in satisfactory condition.
Custom commissions, specially quoted freight items, and sale pieces are [final sale / subject to different terms — please specify].
All pieces in our collection are handmade and one of a kind. We encourage you to contact us before purchasing if you have any questions — we are always happy to provide additional photos, measurements, or a video walkthrough of any piece.
