International Delivery

​

From 1st January 2021, Brexit will change the process of orders and deliveries to countries within the EU.  It is important to note that there may be further charges to pay on orders over the value of £135.00 excluding VAT and including delivery.

​

'Delivered at Place’ (DAP) has been implemented for international deliveries into the EU member states. 'Delivered at Place’ (DAP) is where the customer is liable to pay the VAT and customs duty for importation. This would typically be collected by the courier or national postal service and goods will be withheld until payment is received. 

​

Therefore, orders purchased by customers from the EU with orders delivered to an EU member state do not pay UK VAT. VAT would be 0% rated on net order total and delivery. 

​

*Every EU customer purchasing from Artist Surfaces requires an EROI number in order to clear importation.

​

****EU delivery schedules and prices are fluctuating all the time due to Brexit and Covid. Therefore, there may be further charges for delivery as prices fluctuate on a daily basis.**** 

 

*For large orders or international shipments please contact us via email.

​

Returns and Refunds

 

Customers with errors or faulty goods must notify Artist Surfaces within 48 hours of delivery to arrange return of the product(s). Notification by customers after this period will be unable for exchange or refund.

Storing Plywood Painting Panels

 

Here are some points to consider as precautions when working with Birch Plywood Painting Panels:

 

It is advisable to store, hang or work upon your panels in an environment -

• From from damp.

• Away from any direct heat source.

• Away from any direct sunlight.

• In a stable environment with a constant temperature that does not change significantly.

• It is advisable to NOT store painting panels leaning against walls. Store flat and raised from the floor evenly.

• Do not wrap painting in bubble wrap or plastic foam as a long term packaging solution.

 

What to do if my Painting Panels Warp

​

Our Wooden Painting Panels, STUDIO Wooden Painting Panels, Combi Painting Panels, Aluminium Panels and Aluwood Panels are all warp free.

​

If your Painting Panels have warped as a result of incorrect storage, we advise the following process to rectify the issue.

 

Moisten the area where warping is a problem. Using heavy clamps, secure the wood by clamping in the opposite direction to the warping. Leave clamped for a day.

 

This may solve any problems with warping; however, warping can sometimes be difficult to reverse and may take several attempts or a longer clamping period.

 

*Please remember that wood is a natural material and when exposed to adverse conditions or unstable environments is liable to compromise both the construction and material properties. 

 

Artist Surfaces Tolerenace Policy

 

Artist Surfaces fabricate panels to within +-3mm tolerance of all specified painting panel dimensions with the exception of the Circle Combi Panels. Each aluminium subframe is bent by a specialist bending machine which is handcrafted by the technician to create the circle. As such each circle will have a construction tolerance of +/-4mm. Subframes may require two box sections to be welded together which can cause minor shape deviations.
