Guide
Delivery is usually arranged between you and the artist. Ask about packing, carrier, cost, and timeline before you pay.
From the gallery
How will the work be packed? Is the frame included? Who books the carrier?
What is the cost to your address, and when can it leave the studio?
Corners, glass, and painted surfaces need protection. Artists often use corner guards, foam, and double boxing for larger works.
If you collect in person, agree a time and how the work will be wrapped for the car.
Agree who pays shipping and when ownership/risk transfers. Put the key points in your messages.
The marketplace connects you; it is usually not the shipper or merchant of record.
