Art and Artifacts

Once we have agreed upon a return you will then need to carefully re-package the item and arrange and pay for delivery using the same shipping service which was used to send the order to you. Once the item has safely returned I will refund your payment within 14 days minus shipping costs, PayPal or credit card fees and any taxes. I aim for all information, photographs and shipping information to be as accurate as possible, and I pack and wrap all pieces very carefully. However if something is damaged during shipping, if able, make the courier aware upon receipt, keep a photograph and contact me within seven days. Contact info: shop@thaliablack.com.
