Shipping & Returns

SHIPPING & RETURNS POLICY

Last updated: August 6, 2026

Thank you for choosing artwork and products from Jennifer Mehling Fine Art. Because many of our products are original, handmade, limited, fragile, or created in small quantities, please review this Policy before placing an order.

1. Order Processing

Unless a product listing states otherwise, in-stock orders are generally prepared for shipment within:

  • Original artwork: 5–10 business days

  • In-stock prints and small products: 3–7 business days

  • Made-to-order or externally fulfilled products: approximately 7–15 business days

  • Commissioned or custom products: according to the written commission agreement

These are estimated processing times and do not include carrier transit time.

Orders placed during launches, holidays, travel periods, exhibitions, ministry events, or unusually high-volume periods may require additional processing time. Any known extended timeline will be communicated when reasonably possible.

2. Shipping Destinations

We currently ship within [THE UNITED STATES ].

International shipping is [NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE].

Customers are responsible for customs duties, import taxes, brokerage charges, and other destination-country fees unless otherwise stated.

3. Shipping Rates

Shipping charges are calculated or displayed during checkout.

Rates may reflect:

  • Package size and weight

  • Protective materials

  • Carrier charges

  • Insurance

  • Signature confirmation

  • Handling requirements

  • Shipping destination

Oversized artwork may require a custom shipping quote or specialized art carrier.

4. Delivery Estimates

Delivery estimates are provided as a convenience and are not guaranteed.

Once a package has been accepted by the shipping carrier, delivery timing may be affected by weather, holidays, carrier disruptions, emergencies, address problems, customs delays, or other circumstances outside our direct control.

A delayed shipment is not automatically considered lost.

5. Shipping Addresses

Customers are responsible for entering a complete and accurate shipping address at checkout.

Contact us immediately if you notice an error. We cannot guarantee that an address can be changed after fulfillment begins.

If an order is returned because of an incorrect, incomplete, refused, or undeliverable address, the customer may be responsible for:

  • Reshipping charges

  • Return-to-sender fees

  • Additional packaging

  • Other carrier costs

Original shipping charges are not refundable when delivery failure results from customer-provided address information.

6. Tracking

When tracking is available, a tracking number will be sent to the email address used at checkout.

Customers are responsible for monitoring tracking and arranging timely receipt of packages.

For valuable or oversized artwork, signature confirmation may be required.

7. Local Pickup

Local pickup may be offered for certain items by prior arrangement.

Pickup is not confirmed until you receive written instructions with an approved date, time, and location.

Customers should not arrive at a studio, gallery, residence, workshop location, or partner business without a confirmed appointment.

Orders not collected within the agreed period may be shipped at the customer’s expense or handled according to written arrangements.

8. Original Artwork Returns

Because original artwork is unique and may require specialized packaging and shipping, all original artwork sales are final, except when:

  • The artwork arrives damaged.

  • The wrong artwork was sent.

  • The artwork is materially different from the product description.

Please carefully review dimensions, colors, orientation, framing information, photographs, and product descriptions before ordering.

After an approved return is received and inspected, we will notify you of the decision.

Approved refunds are generally issued to the original payment method within 5–10 business days after inspection. Your financial institution may require additional time to post the refund.

Shipping costs, gift wrapping, rush charges, and other nonrefundable service charges will not be included unless the return resulted from our error or a covered defect.

When an exchange is approved, any price difference and additional shipping charges may be due before the replacement is sent.

Contact us as soon as possible to request cancellation.

An order may be canceled before fulfillment begins. Once preparation, production, personalization, packaging, or shipment has started, cancellation may not be possible.

Custom, commissioned, made-to-order, and personalized purchases are subject to their specific agreement and are generally nonrefundable once work begins.

20. Gift Purchases

Refunds for eligible gift purchases are generally issued to the original purchaser’s payment method.

Gift recipients may request an exchange or store credit when available, but cash refunds will not be issued to someone other than the original purchaser.
