Our Promise
Elizabeth paints quiet places. We want the work to bring that same quiet into your home. If a piece arrives and it is not right for you, tell us and we will look after it.
Every print is made to order for you, so please read the conditions below before you buy.
1. Return Window
You have 30 days from the date of delivery to request a return of an eligible item.
To start a return, email [email protected] or call (236) 499-3828 with your order number and the reason for the return. Do not ship anything back before we confirm the return in writing. Returns sent without prior authorization may not be accepted.
Once we authorize your return, please ship the item back to us within 14 days of that approval.
2. Condition of Returned Items
To be accepted, an item must be:
- In its original, unused condition
- In its original packaging, including any protective corners, wrap, and box
- Complete, including the certificate of authenticity where one was supplied
Items that arrive back damaged because they were poorly packed cannot be refunded. Please pack the work as carefully as we packed it for you.
3. What Can and Cannot Be Returned
Eligible for return within 30 days of delivery:
- Original works
- Standard size canvas prints
- Fine art posters
- Art cards and card packs, unopened
Not eligible for return, except where damaged or defective:
- Oversized or custom size prints
- Items marked final sale or clearance
- Gift cards
- Digital downloads, including the free bookmark
Original paintings are unique works. If you are considering an original, contact us first and we will send additional photographs, dimensions, and details so you can buy with confidence.
4. Return Shipping Costs
Return shipping is the customer's responsibility unless the item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect.
Returns from within Canada: ship by a trackable method of your choice.
Returns from the United States: must be shipped back using FedEx with tracking and marked as a return of Canadian goods so that no duties are charged on re-entry.
We are not responsible for returns lost or damaged in transit. Please keep your tracking number.
5. Restocking
We don't charge a restocking fee.
6. Refunds
Once your return arrives and passes inspection, we issue your refund within 5 to 10 business days to the original payment method. Your bank or card issuer may take a further few business days to post it.
Original shipping charges, where paid, are not refunded except where the item was damaged, defective, or incorrect. Most of our items ship free, so in most cases there are no shipping charges to refund.
If more than 15 business days have passed since we confirmed your refund and you have not received it, contact your bank first, then email us at [email protected] and we will follow up.
7. Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Items
Please inspect your order as soon as it arrives.
If an item is damaged, defective, or not what you ordered, contact us within 7 days of delivery with:
- Your order number
- Photographs of the damage to the artwork
- Photographs of the outer box and packaging as it arrived
We will replace the item or refund you in full.
Keep the packaging until the claim is resolved. Carriers often require it for inspection.
8. Cancellations and Changes
Prints and posters go into production quickly. If you need to change or cancel an order, email us within 12 hours of placing it and we will do our best. Once production has begun, an order cannot be cancelled, though the standard return policy still applies once the item is delivered.
Please check your shipping address carefully at checkout. Orders returned to us as undeliverable because of an incorrect address will be reshipped at the customer's cost.
