Payments
We accept bank and credit card payments through PayPal (please note that PayPal
e-checks will take three to five business days to clear). PayPal is free for buyers and enables you to pay a seller
without disclosing to them your bank account or credit card numbers. We use PayPal for our own online purchases.We also accept USPS money orders, or you may place your credit card order by phone by calling our gallery (207-223-1075).
Please send us your payment within 10 days of the purchase date. Items not paid for within 10 days will be reposted for sale.
Sales Tax
Items shipped to Maine are taxed 5%.Shipping
We ship via the United States Postal Service (USPS) Wednesday through Saturday. The cost for priority shipping is based
on what we can fit in the standard USPS Flat Rate boxes (small, medium, or large), shown
here. In the event we cannot fit your entire order in one box (say, if you order
two of our largest paintings), we'll have to bill you the cost to ship the second parcel.Shipping includes delivery confirmation. If you're paying by PayPal, we'll need signature confirmation upon delivery for payments exceeding $249.99 and a confirmed shipping address on all purchases. Let us know if you'd like your purchase gift wrapped, a service we provide free of charge. Gift boxes, bags, and ribbon will vary depending on what we have in stock.
Insurance
We insure our packages against loss or damage. Domestic and international insurance prices
for priority mail vary depending on the total cost of your purchase.Returns
Our work and your satisfaction are guaranteed! You may return your purchase for any reason or none at all within
7 days, in the same condition and original packaging upon which it was received, and we will refund the purchase
price, less shipping. We want you to be happy with your purchase, so please let us know if you're not!Privacy

We will promptly and apologetically refund your payment if this happens.
